Lisa AICE Media Studies Film

Here is a list of things I plan to include in revising the film. A shot of Noah sitting in a car, texting Mia that he is there to pick her up Mia does not respond Noah goes under bleachers to look for her Finds her sitting there Asks if she's OK She tells him that she wants to give Colten a note but she is too scared to Noah offers to give the note to Colten  Noah becomes mad that Colten cheated on Mia, causing Mia sadness Noah storms to locker room Mia goes back under bleachers

I am planning on re-shooting the fight scene this Wednesday. I have already notified my actors and let them know we are re-shooting. LOCKER ROOM Noah runs into locker room Pushes Colten out of locker space Colten pushes back Noah (big punch) CUT TO UNDER BLEACHERS Parallel editing with Mia under bleachers and Noah and Colten continuing to fight CUT TO LOCKER ROOM Noah throws note on ground Noah leaves the locker room, Colten is alone Colten picks up the note and looks sad, throws it back on the ground in anger 

The target audience for my film are pre-teens, teens and young adults. The conflicts and situations in my film can be seen as relatable for much of the target audience. Many people who fit into my target audience experience similar events in their lives. My film has comparable events to a number of films with the same target audience.

After showing my product to my peers, I received both positive and negative feedback. The positive feedback I received was complimenting the camera shot we did of the note at the end. I was also complimented on the parallel editing I included with the takes going from the locker room and Mia under the bleachers. I received quite a few critiques with my film. My peers said that without my explanation it is unclear that Colten cheated on Mia. Next time, I will add more dialogue to convey what is happening. Also, I  shot my film on different days and Noah was wearing different clothes in the locker room than in the rest of the film. I will most likely re-shoot the scenes at once so they are all wearing the same clothes. We most importantly need to re shoot the fight scene, some of the fighting looks unplanned. When I edit the film for the second time, I need to make sure that I have the actors speak louder and I should lower the volume of the background music.

How does your product use or challenge conventions of your genre? The film I created challenges the conventions of the Drama movie genre. It challenges the conventions by using adolescents to convey a plot. It is more common for adults to appear in the drama genre because of the intensity of what the plot may be. there is an element of the romance genre to enhance the complexity of the drama. How does it represent social groups or issues? The film I created represents a social issue that affects many people in society. Many individuals in society deal with a lack of respect among of youth in the community. The effects of this could cause depression, anxiety and desolation within the social order of adolescents. The outburst formed by Noah in my film was an outcome of the distress Mia conveys.
