Division of labour

This is our division of labour - approximately... We all do everything and are all involved in every process but some of us do a little more of something else than others. Even though we all decide the final outcome of something and will discuss everything, initially naturally someone will take more control of something in a group, this is what we all did maybe a little more of...

Target Audience Survey Analysis For Costumes

Question 1
Our character in our video is quite innocent and naive, she is a weak character that doesn't stick up for herself, what kind of clothing would you expect her to wear?
-The majority of the results from the survey said that she would wear boring and bland clothes that don't attract her attention, floral design to represent her innocence or cute clothes that are light coloured. We tried to incorporate all of these into our video but using very bland dull pyjama clothes, cute floaty girly clothes that represent her innocence. We knew an image we wanted her to look like but needed to incorporate the audience's ideas too as they are the ones we are targeting and therefore watching it.

Question 2

Question 3

Throughout the stages of her growing confident and stronger and her then moving on from him, what should change with her costume?

a) at the very beginning - most people answered this part of the question as her having very basic, bland, dull clothing on to represent her mood and unhappiness with the relationship. 

b) when she starts to realise she is unhappy - this had a mixed range of answers, a few people said the clothing should get darker with heavier eye makeup to represent her rebellious side showing, some people said nothing should change at this stage and some people said that there should be gradual changes like little more makeup or neater hair or clothing.  

c) the growing stages of her strength - a lot of results were that her makeup should become more bold therefore representing that she is trying harder and some were just that she should just look like she is putting more effort in. 

d) once she has kicked him out - more bolder colours and more colour added to the wardrobe, also just need to make it neater.

e) at the very end - this was all similar results with everyone suggesting normal and bright clothing and how a regular teenage girl would dress and look like. 

Question 4

Question 5

Overall our survey results showed what kind of clothing and hairstyles, etc. that our characters should have in our video. With the female role, we basically covered exactly what our target audience wanted with a range of different outfits to represent the progression and also little makeup and neat hair. The male role was slightly different. We used a leather jacket and dark clothes to represent his evilness but decided against the slicked back hair. We decided it would make him look more sleazy than mean and so went with messy hair which was the next thing that the target audience would have wanted. 

Starting To Edit

This is a screen shot of us starting to edit on Final Cut. So far we have just started to put our clips in order, lining them up to the beat of the music. We filmed many different shots of the same scene and so are now editing them together so we can get a range of shots in our video. This can prove challenging as there can be continuity errors when certain things change in each time we film it.
