Making our Preliminary OTS

This is the mask and the hat we used for our OTS. We used it to make the scene seem creepy and like there's something not quite right. We also used an umbrella which was inside out to add to the kookiness of the scene.

Audience Preferences

Fun Lovers- people who just like going to the cinema, not necessarily for any reason just a pass time.
Youth Of Today- Young people who enjoy the cinema, probably more box office movies.
Film Fanatics- people who will know a lot about film and cinema. Probably older, and educated in film, i.e they've seen a lot of films and can evaluate what they like and dislike.

My preferences

I would say that I fit into the 'fun lover' category of watching films at the cinema, although i usually go to the cinema knowing what i want to see, i lack experience in films and i will usually only see something that's new, as opposed to going to somewhere like Cinema City.

I prefer to buy a DVD to watch a film as if i'm going to watch a film i usually know a fair bit about it and so its easier for me to buy one because i'll watch it more than once. Also i use Freeview to view films that i haven't heard much about, but this is usually only when i've got some time to kill.

Link to our OTS

Our OTS will be aimed at people who're interested in a certain type of film- film noir. The film is going to be shown on a streamed legal website and so the audience will probably be young and have prior knowledge of which websites to find such films on.

OTS storyboard

In this shot the girl is shown walking up to the door. It is a mid shot of the subject from behind to show her walking and to show the door. The subject is framed by the door frame to add emphasis on her. The mise-en-scene is a brick wall and the surroundings are dull and slightly unclean.

In this shot the subject is shown from the side, opening the door. The shot is predominantly on her and there's nothing in the background that would attract the audience's eyes away from her. Its a mid shot.

This shot is an extreme close up of the subject opening the door handle. The only things in shot are the hand and the door handle so the audience know perfectly what is happening.

This shot is an over-shoulder shot of the first subject, from the second subject's shoulder, The subject is framed by the door to link the previous shots to this one, and to emphasize the subject's facial expression.

This shot is a close up of the first subject's face. It shows nothing but her and it is at a regular angle.

This shot shows the second subject's face. He is wearing a mask and you cannot see his expression. The shot used is a close up and there's nothing else  in the shot, except the second subject.

This is a mid shot of the two people. It shows them at a table, talking.

This is an over-shoulder shot of the first subject. It shows her talking to the second subject. The over-shoulder shot is used because it highlights the fact that the two are talking to each other.

The last shot is of the second subject and the shot used is an over shoulder shot.

Pete Buckingham, the head of Distribution and Exhibion of the UK Film Council says that ABC1s represent up to 66% of cinema audience. This means that the 33% is made up by poorer people, the poorer half watch films at home some how.
why is this?
