This is the text from our Presentation. We couldnt put the powerpoint onto blogger becuase it didnt work so we had to paste the text...:


The waiting room . . .
This film is a McCams production which is based on the life of a young girl going through therapy due to an incident that isn’t discussed.
She spends most of her time going to the therapist in order for them to find out what happened.
Her therapist (Dr Glynn) becomes quite close with her Patients; we see at the end of the clip that a second patient runs into the room expecting Dr Glynn to deal with her problems at that moment. Her patients become very dependant on her. Will this cause problems for Dr Glynn…?

Our preliminary task is aimed at the age group of 20-50. This is because it is quite a serious film but does contain some comedy. However, other age groups might be interested in it and there would be no age barrier, it would be universal.
During the process of making the preliminary task it has helped us to work with different camera angles such as the high angle shot, pan shot and shot reverse shot. We found the shot reverse shot the most challenging to do, this is because we had to film the entire scene twice so that when it came to editing we could cut all of it together, it was quite hard to make sure that everything was the same both times because if there is as sudden change between two shots then it will be noticeable.
It is set in a therapists office which we used a library, this Is because we thought that the setting looked as though it could have been one. This is because of all the books and seating area.

Lets take a look at the clip…

Command.

Forms and conventions.
For our main task we decided to look at Mean Girls. This linked to our theme because of it being set in a high school. Hollie and I watched Mean girls in order to see the entire mise en scene of the film in order to know what things we need to include. We realised that mean girls has the three typical girls who rule the school just like ours, so, we wanted to see how this was put across in the film.
We noticed in the film that the characters were wearing typical teenage clothes which were not necessarily fitting to England since it is an American film. So, we made sure the characters wore something that they would most probably wear everyday.
Since our film was going to be a teen/comedy we had to cast young teenagers and base the film in the school with everyday teenage problems.
The film is actually set in a school. So everything is suited to the theme of the film.
Representation of social groups.
In our film we focused on teenagers. They were represented in different ways. This is because we had the main "mean" girl and her two followers, who weren't as bad as they come across because "Jessie" actually helps the girl who gets hurt by "Danielle" and then "Isobel" just follows everything which Danielle does.

Distribution.
We think that is would be best for a mainstream company to distribute our film. This is because our film is best suited to teenagers but can be relevant to other ages too. Also, our storyline is quite easy to grasp so it doesn’t involve too much thinking about it and it is just to be enjoyed rather than having to figure it out.
A distribution company which we think would be relevant for our film would be PARAMOUNT PICTURES. This is because they previously distributed "Mean girls" which is a similar genre to ours. We looked at the advertising for mean girls which worked out well because the U.S. Box Office got:$86,049,418. It is a well known film and is very popular, which means this could work for our film.

Target audience…
Teenagers: our target audience would be teenagers because the film is set in a school and is focussed on teegae life. People from this age group can then relate to the film with aspects of their life and the comedy in the film would be more suited to this age group. However, although is is focussed on teenagers, it is suitable for all age groups and we believe that any age group could enjoy it.
Equipment.
Whilst making both of our tasks we learnt how to use all the camera equipment and editing programme.
We went to a place called CLC which teaches you how to use adobe premiere pro( an editing programme) this helped us to know how to use all aspects of the programme to make our editing better.
All of our equipment and materials were borrowed, so we had no expense other than buying DV tapes.
As we went along with our editing we also discovered other things on the programme which helped us make our film better.
