How our media product represents particular social groups

Our product is a Youth Drama, in our product there are two characters, a missing girl and her friend (the main character)

Our product represents social groups through the use of mise en scene. The clothing, location and props show that the main character is like a normal teenager from the streets of London where our product is set. Also the main characters body language shows this because he walks while slouching. This supports the common stereotypes shown in current youth drama films because in films like Kidulthood and Attack the block they are set in similar locations, the characters have similar clothing and they have similar body language.

Reviews after our screening

Q1 Evaluation

Changing the name to contact

After long analysis, we came to a conclusion that the name 'wandering' simply wasn't effective enough for our film. We felt the name was too vague and that we needed something that was more relatable. We went over various names and came to conclude that 'Contact' was the most effective name for our film.

Due to this sudden change, we have had to change the name to contact on our poster. This has meant that amendments have also been made to our blog header and other things of that sort.

Missing Poster - Prop

For our title sequence we have chosen to put in the prop of a missing person in order to create realism and to fit with the storyline. We imitated a real missing persons poster in order to create authenticity.

Feedback from rough draft

Things to improve on:

• Many scenes were still shaky even after stabilisation
• Bus scene where he mistakes girl wasn't clear
• Too many walking shots
• Shots lacked good mise en scene 
• House scene and walking scenes were too long
• There were many with a big gap on top of the head 

Strengths:

• Good storyline - not too complicated 
• Clear message
• Good use of props
• Scenic estate 

Feedback from pitch

After the feedback from the pitch, we were given constructive feedback on how to improve our filming techniques and things of that sort.

1) We were told to make a more in depth version of our filming schedule and of course we went on to do that:

Friday 23rd January- Tolu Picks up all equipment take back home to Frampton Estate

Sunday 25th January-
11:00 am meeting at Frampton park estate (Hackney E9)
11:30-14:00 filming in the house of estate and house scenes : including coke, walking,music
Rahim , Nabeelah , Konstancja - behind the camera
Tolu- in front of the camera

Thursday 28th January -
09:00 - pick up equipment again
09:30 - head to the gym (CAI LINKED GYM)
09:45 -film all angles scenes
10:45- filter scenes
11:00- Girl misunderstanding
11:30- Bus scenes
11:45- back to the college
12:00- eqipment given back

Rahim , Tolu , Konstancja - Infront of camera
Rahim , Nabeelah - Behind the camera

This improvement to our schedule meant we were more organised and properly knew the order 

of how we were going to film our different scenes.

2) The other integral bit of feedback we got after the pitch was to make the story line simpler and

not to over complicate things as it was just a title sequence and not a small film.

This meant that we didn't make the film to complicated and it remained simple but effective.

This is the link to our website: http://nabeelahsiddiqui.wix.com/g21wandering

 

On the home page of our website we have the poster as the background so that viewers can identify our poster and familiarise themselves with it. We have also put it as the background as it establishes the genre of the youth drama and so that the audience is introduced to the protagonist. 

We have also included the date when it will be on television and have made the date bold and clear so that people know exactly when its on, We also countdown to remind them that its going to be released soon.

On this page 'The Making' our audience will find out more about the series through the director, the title designer, the production company and lastly the entertainment company. We have made sure that the colours on this page compliment with the theme of our poster. 

This page gives a little synopsis to the viewers about who the characters are and the roles they will play. It also introduces the storyline through the characters and it also demonstrates the stereotypes that they may play. This page also shows a few pictures of the crew, so that viewers get that feeling of exclusivity and get a taste of behind the scenes,

The last page allows people to automatically connect this page with their social media and we offer a range of social media that they can share from. This will attract more youth to know about our new series.

For our title sequence we were not allowed to use Music that were copyrighted, the limit for using copyrighted music is 30 seconds.

We have made a primary soundtrack with Garage Band to use in our title sequence

Social Networking

We have made a twitter page to update people on what we are doing for our title sequence. We post pictures of us filming, tweet about where we are filming and tweet the stages we are at when editing and making things like the soundtrack. We also tweet with common hashtags so our twitter page is more recognised by the public.

Wandering Roughcut

Costumes

The lifestyle of the characters in the title sequence is similar to modern teenagers. Because of this we chose to make the characters in our sequence wear things that are similar to what a normal teenager today would wear outside. The characters in our sequence wear caps, hooded jackets and jeans. We chose to make the costumes similar to the ones that are in existing teen dramas e.g. Kidulthood and Attack the Block.

Institutions

For our Opening sequence we had to make up our own institutions that were involved in making the opening sequence. We made up the names 'Blue Sketch Productions' and 'Reign Entertainment'

Here are the logos we have made and chosen to put on our opening sequence
