Target Audience

The target audience for the film is between 15 to 21 years olds., as a group we believe that the 15 rating wound be the right age for a film that is using a lot of physical movement that may not be suitable for a younger audience. Some of the other films like adulthood have a higher age range because of the content in the film as it has more violence in it however  we may use one mild violent scene in the film opening. We will also have a kissing scene in the opening as it helps to identify the two main character from the two gangs who are in a relationship at the start of the film opening, this may not be responsible or acceptable to allow young viewers to watch a scene which included that kind of context.  
For the questionnaires we carried out, we found that the most popular genre was thriller/horror for the age range we were looking at. From the results of our questionnaire we created posters which were distributed around areas that our target audience would see them around bus stop, college/school, magazines, TV and shopping centers.

Costumes

Ben Harris who is the male lead will be wearing a plain coloured hoodie with tracksuit bottoms, this will reflect his character.
The other member of the boy gang will be wearing different coloured tracksuit.

The female lead will be wearing a bright colour to the boys e.g blue or pink with a pair of boots like Ugg. This makes both group look like gangs who hang around the streets or parks at nights.

Character and Setting

This is Ben Harris, he will be playing the lead male in our film. Ben is going to be the one who kills a member of the girl gang. He is going to be dressed in a tracksuit with a hoodie to show a gang statues.

This is a park where we may film some of the opening of the film. Many youths hang around in a park and this will help to to set the scene. The picture below with the railings which could be used for the girl to be pushed into to show a struggle. 

The street corner will be where the girl would be seen by her ex boyfriend and follows her toward the park. We may not use the same corner as the one below and above.

Film Ideas

In my group (Amelia, Stevie and AJ) we had the main idea of a thriller film about two gangs, one gang for the girls and the other boys. The background for the start of the film is based on the true story of a boyfriend having a bet with his friends to kill his girlfriend, as a group we thought for having one of girls abduct as she dumps her boyfriend in the opening scene, The boys is not happy with the fact that the girl is not in love with him and wants to get his own back on her. We are going to use a different range of camera shots like close up's, pan shot, point of view and tilt shot. We are also going to use different music to build up tension in the opening scene and use the sound in the scene 

Three Media Techniques.

In my group (Amelia, Stevie and AJ) we went to the main gate to shot 'Match on Action', the main problem we had was in the first shot we opened the gate with two hands, in the second shot we only used one hand, This was hard to show in the editing stage as putting the to clips together meant we had to re-shot that part.
