Evaluation Question 2.
Representation-
Representation is the way in which we see other peoples age, gender, ethnicity, ability/ disability, regional identity, sexuality, class and social status.
Our product shows societies stereotypical view's of young teenagers and what adults think that young people get up to when they are in a larger group.
The teen social groups stereotyped in our title sequence are evidently young teenage boys mainly but we included some females to contradict the stereotypically view's that boys are always up to no good when manny are together they can be seen as a gang when they are not causing any harm to anyone.
Adults don't really understand teenage views because they do not live in our society in our day and they are not our age, therefore they have a negative view on what we do as a whole because they are uneducated on what we live through and the pressure we are under as teenagers.
General social representation of teenagers overall are mainly negative and ignorant to teenagers experience, troubles, struggles.
Youth dramas such as adulthood, kidaluthood, brotherhood can be interpreted as a negative representation of young people who are most of the time innocent people just hanging out. We challenge the common stereotypical opinions because our title sequence emphasises how an innocent youth can be mistaken by his brother and can end up in a tragic alignment off occurring events
Here are two Slidely's to show our progress from prelim to title sequence, theres a wide variety of shots here to show how far we have come since september.

Evaluation Question 3.
Our distribution company;
Is Revolver Entertainment which is an independent big company, our film is similar to kidaulthood and adulthood because they are are also backed by big named companies that have a good budget which will enhance the possibilities of our film getting a positive outcome and producing millions.
Our film is similar to films we have researched because they all reach out to their target audience in a similar way; through the use of stereotypical opinions and veiws of teenage life, therefore we have similar relationship between the distribution techniques.
These aspects allow our distribution company to fit in perfectly with our chosen genre.
Our film could have a wide global release because of the companies supporting us relate to our chosen stereotypical opinions.
Evaluation Question 4.
Our target audience is a young teenage boy mainly stereotypically a black young male will be seen as a main target for our audience,
Young teenage boys who stereotypically dress in north face and other plain black clothing, have nike pouches and have blackberries can fit into our stereotypical target audience because they fit with the key conventions of being a teenage boy and just feeling comfortable in what you chose to wear address your self in.
Like in any other larger film their is a primary audience and a secondary audience, young teenage boys usually stereotyped are our primary audience because not only can they relate to the characters but also they can relate to the storyline and what they experience throughout there time as young teens.
The secondary audience is the adults seeking for some sort of understanding of what it is like to be a teenager and to live through gang crime and knife crime as bad as it is now a days, the secondary audience is as important as the primary audience because it reaches out to a wider range of people amongst different age groups , ethnicity, and gender difference.
Things our stereotypical teenager would have in there bag

Here is the opinion of an outsider or an adult who has watched our title sequence, who dosen't relate to our primary audience which is young teens who experience these things on a regular baises, but he does relate to our secondary audience which reaches out to adults whom are trying to understand where us teenagers are coming from when we are stressed and under pressure.
Evaluation: Question 4
Who would be the audience for your media product?
For research i used YouGov Profilers. I typed in similar films to my own such as Kidulthood and Hood Video:
Based on these results, 18-30 years olds both male and female are considered as my wider audience.
My target audience is 12-18 year olds as they are the most likely individuals to relate to the my film best.

brotherhood
When thinking of a name for our title sequence we decided to round up one thing every hood story has in common ad we discovered that it was the friendship which can be interrupted as "blood is thicker than water but you still need water to live" just like our chosen musicians state in their song brotherhood, which ironically relates perfectly yo our chosen genre and our chosen occurring events in our title sequence.
Through out our title sequence we specifically chose every detail to the last second to relate to our genre and our subliminal message which we are trying to portray through the use of such a captivating title sequence which consequentially captivates the audience and allows them to see what were trying to show through the shortness of the title sequence.
We also tried to incorporate as much of our day to day teenage life as possible such as smokeing, gang crime, the dialogue and language used, clothing make up, location, skateparks, specific places where we as you teenagers would prefer to eat.
As you can see it took a lot of thought and planning to get every second of our title sequence to be exactly how we wanted it to be, we did all of these small details to add a sense of realisms and to set the scene in a way that you could understand the situation thou a teenagers eyes, which reaches out to the primary audience which are fellow young teenagers intressted in stereotypical films and the secondary audience which are adults possibly parents trying to understand their teenagers ways and perspective on things.

make up and costume
When filming we organised that the characters would wear specific black clothing and stereotypical the north face, nike, addidas and other clothing that young teenagers would be seen wearing.
The make up was pretty simple only girls wore very little and there wasn't many scenes where the girls were in.
The only other scene where make up was widely used and essential was when Salvatore the main character got stabbed an i used all kinds of make up such as mac eye shadow and fake blood to give a more realistic look to the stab wound.
skills i have developed
I am able to blog sufficiently, i have learnt to film with a professional camera equipment working with tripods working with macs to a better understanding and i have a better understanding of the technology and i have a good understanding of how to use final cut pro, for editing and re arranging each and every clip into the right order to make scene of our title sequence.
I learnt how to use garage band to make the backing track/ sound track which i had previously used in secondary school so i just enhanced those skills i had previously learnt.
I also learnt how to uses motion to create specific titles which will fit our genre and choosen film, and motion is also useful to decide how the titles will appear in our title sequence .

what has gone well and less well?
What Has Gone Well
- over all i think planning or title sequence went well and organising what we would be filming and where was also fairly easy, editing was great because it aloud us to see what we did wrong and what we needed to re film.
-When editing i learnt that hours of filming can become something as small as 3 minutes which was quite disappointing sense we spend so much time re filming and making sure everything was accurate and correct
What Has Gone Bad
- well I'm pretty bad at logging to be honest because I'm not very it efficient, so keeping on tract with my blogging was very challenging for me and this caused me o become delayed and behind on this project but overall i think our group all pulled through when it came to the final product and hopefully our final piece of our title sequence is good enough and reflects the grade we all deserve

inspirational teen films
These teen based films have influenced us and our work, to the extent that our title sequence has a lot of similarities to them.
These two films show a good contrast and have a lot in common with our title sequence genre, because they both show stereotypical aspects of teenagers life and they both show brotherhood which is what inspired us to create our title sequence on brotherhood and the interrelationships amongst young people.
motion
Firstly you find motion on your mac.
then you choose start with a template which will make the title creating a lot easier.
Then you choose from a wide selection of design and background effects.
Then you can design your titles colours, fonts, styles and anything else you might want to include.
Once you get to this stage you can decide how you would like for your titles to appear in the title sequence .
these screen grabs should be able to guid you through motion and give you a greater understanding of how to make your titles for your title sequence.
production schedule adds
When filming on the times we had inicially planed to we noticed there was a lot we hadn't shot properly and there was a lot we decided to re shoot so pretty much all of our spare time after we started editing was used for re filming some time in our half term was also used and even the week before the deadline we dedicated hours of our free time to filming to get the accuracy of our shots on point to insure we get the grades we want for our title sequence.
Ellipsis
The video above shows how an Ellipsis can work on manny things even the grows of a flower, it works because its emphasises how times moving on in a fast manor.
these are other effects of time-lapse
