The Team
Our Target Audience?
We decided that our target audience would be teenagers as the teen audience are the highest group of movie watchers. We decided on this because the majority of people that view British Social Realism films are of this age.
This is the Video Editing software that I use. It's my own software which I purchased and it's called 'Corel Video Studio Pro X3'. I find this to be a very easy programme to use as it comes with many pre-set titles, flash animations, music, sound effects etc, which are fully adaptable and customisable. 
These screen shots are an example of the video frame which displays the video as it is played either on the time line or when adapting your own title. The title shown here is a pre-set, but as the print screen below shows, you are able to fully customize it. You can move it anywhere within the frame, adjust the size, shape and angle of the title using the yellow and purple tabs. As shown in the above image (on the right) there are more options to edit the title, such as colour, font, animation and duration, however you can edit the duration using the time line.
Short stop-motion animation to test the speed and quality of my software, and also to practice adding titles at the beginning. ("A Rather Random Picture Productions Film" is the title to one of my YouTube channel's. I have used it here to test out the animation and positioning of the text.) The music and sounds effects are pre-built into my software.
Also, the 180 degree rule has been applied here. The character is always moving from the left to the right. This helps to minimise any confusion, making the clip easier to understand and follow.

The camera is mainly stationary through out, except from one tracking clip, following the figure as he moves a long. This was done by moving the camera a tiny space over for every photo.
Sound - Diagetic - Gunshot.
Non Diagitic - Music (contrapuntal)

The 180 degree rule
The 180 degree rule is what film creators use when filming things such as a conversation. The image shows this. The camera can only be placed on one side of the line (green area) and not the other side (red area). This is done so the characters stay on the same side of the camera. If the characters were to switch sides continuously, the audience shall become confused.Shot types and Variations
 |
| Close up - Used to show expressions in more focus and keeps the audiences attention on particular characters. The amount of props on screen is very limited. This is used to create tension and suspense. |
 |
| Establishing Shot - One of the first shots you'd see in a film to set the scene and to make the audience aware of what type of location the film is being set in |
 |
| Long Shot - Shot used which shows the entire characters figure. It is used to show the audience a wider shot of the scene to show the setting and is also used whilst the character is traveling for it to be shown smoothly |
 |
Mid Shot - Used to show you the majority of the character and a fairly limited amount of back drop and props. This is used when expressing expressions and actions more clearly |
 |
| Extreme Close up - Used to focus the audiences attention on a particular thing, such as a feature, body part or a prop. This gains the audiences attention on a particular thing. This can be used to create suspense |
 |
| POV Shot - Point of view shot puts the audience into the characters shoes as it feels that they are looking through their eyes. This can be used to create the feeling that the character might be feeling |
 |
| Over the shoulder shot- This shot ties in with the 180 degree rule. It is used to help the audience understand what's happening and limits confusion. It is often used in conversations Characters, Social Issues, Plot, Scenes, Lighting, Editing, Dialogue, Locations, Music, Titles, Sound, Props. Titles Test; Based on British Socail Realism Films We created this short video as an example of possible titles that could be used at the start of our film. It resembles the opening to Bullet Boy as we felt this was a good example of the start of a social realism film. The music also has a similar sound as we did not want singing; the sound alone gives an enigma as it is dramatic Characteristics of Titles: - Plain, simple text. - White titles on a plain black background, or white titles on top of a montage of clips. - Standard effects for example, fade in. - Small font taking up one corner of the screen. - Minimum titles at the start of a film, the rest credited on the credits at the end.
