Production Filming
We filmed the raw footage on Saturday where we set up in Tom's garage. We managed to create a dark, dramatic feel and atmosphere without compromising on the lighting in the shots. So we have successfully completed what we set out to do. When we start editing in the coming days me and Tom will see if anything needs to be reshot, possibly because it doesn't look good enough, which could be the case for the fight scene.

Risk Assessment/Location
For our production there are a few things that we need to look at to prevent any problems occurring regarding the location of where we're filming. We have decided to select our film location in Tom's Garage. We felt that this would be suitable because of the type of scene we are doing, which is a torture scene. This lead to concerns about how we conduct the production because of the themes we have chosen to explore. However, there will be no actual violence in the making of the production, the punches will be choreographed as well as he fight scene. We will also look to incorporate fake blood to make it look more dramatic and are exploring the possibility of using make-up techniques to create cuts as this will help to make it look closer to bordering real life.
Preliminary Task-Update
We have located the file and managed to export it without it becoming corrupt, so it'll be uploaded to YouTube soon.

Preliminary Task- Editing
Today we finished editing the preliminary task and we hoped to upload it to YouTube. However due to an error whilst exporting the file, we were unable to upload the file as it had become corrupted in the process from Final Cut Pro to a USB. This means that we will have to locate the original footage and see if that is corrupted and if so then we will have to shoot again.

Target Profile
Our Target Profile revolves around our target age group, which is teenagers. This is Damn Daniel who was more than happy for us to take a picture of him being a typical teen.
Age:
16
Gender:
Predominantly male
Sexuality:
We have chosen the sexuality to be straight because the market is larger. However, I'm sure someone who is gay wouldn't hate the production because there's going to be nothing 'anti gay' or anything that they may find offensive.
Occupation:
Our target profile would be someone who is currently a full time student or apprentice who has aspirations of being successful and earning a lot of money so they can buy the latest luxuries. Our target audience tend to prefer subjects where they can be creative as this is a way of expressing themselves. Good examples would include Media Studies and/or Drama.
Ethnicity:
The ethnicity of the audience isn't something we have considered because neither of us are religious and we don't see why anyone wouldn't want to watch it unless their bible has something against pretending to be tortured. We would both agree that our production would make more sense being presented to a westernised culture as they will understand the themes.
Media Influences:
Our teenage target market are up to date with the latest hardware and software which allow them to interact with others on the internet. They are primarily from a middle class/ upper class upbringing. This is because they are socialable and want the latest things which they can afford as they are reasonably 'well off'. Here are some of the most common methods of communication used by our target market:
A lot of these popular types of communication implement photography in one way or another. for example Snapchat allows people to send pictures to each other, showing it for a maximum of 10 seconds and YouTube allows people to create and upload videos for others to see.
How does this affect our Production:
This means that our ideas will have to consider our target audience. Otherwise it will not appeal to them, which defeats the object of having them as a target audience. This has also selected who we have as a protagonist, resulting in a teenager or young adult being involved as this means that they can relate to the character more as they can see themselves in their shoes. To again help the audience to relate to our demographic we gave the protagonist normal clothes, so that he didn't oppose the normal look for a youth.

Location
The location that we are going to use for the production is my garage, the reason we are using it is that on the outside, the garage can look a little old in the dark, and the inside is big and has a very cluttered, which makes it look like a place where torture could happen. I can also put a cover over things that would look out of place in the garage to cover them. The other reason the garage would be an ideal location for a murder location is that the garage has bare brick walls, and a plain concrete floor, it also has old lights in it and an old light switch. It also has some spotlights so they can be shined where we need them to be.

The reason I think that the garage would be an ideal location is because it is dark and scary and would be ideal to make a creepy setting for some sort of torture room.
