Hi Shanice,
You Evaluation doesnt seem to work. Don't worry. Send the PowerPoint file to my email address at hknott@brit.croydon.sch.uk. At least if we have it we will be able to mark it.

Filming
When filming at Shanice's house it took us a while to get used to using the camera again as we had to think carefully about how to set it up. After we set up we began to get our props together for the scene we would film (Ishmail in his house). Overall the filming went smoothly but we had to think carefully about the lighting and the angles we filmed at making sure the lighting stayed the same.
During filming in the dressing room scene, we had to redo many shot as we forgot some of the things that was needed to be included (e.g. the sign 'Mezza' on the dressing room door). As we went along we had new ideas, but at the same time we tried to stick to the storyboard. During filming the scene, the camera was hand held (point of view) so the camera had to be held steadily. We decided to have Ishmail holding the camera as he was the right height and it was at his characters point of view.
We filmed Meron coming through the backstage door scene. We had to gather around 7 people to be her fans (screaming for her at the backstage door). We had to film when these people when they were available, so we took out more time to book the camera. As well as finding the right day, we had to find the right time to film as the fans would have to make a lot of noise. The location chosen for this scene was near a class room, so we had to wait and film quickly as people were walking in and out of the class room. Overall this duration of filming went well.
Finally, while filming the whole opening we included outtake parts and backstage clips, for example, of Meron singing, interviews of how the filming is going and clips the that are not seen in the final opening. We hope to capture and edit the extra clips, to put on our blogs.
The filming process went well overall and we are glad with the outcome.

Target Audience
Our thriller is based on the serial murders of young female stars, so it should generally appeal to fans of these types of celebrities, who tend to be young men and women, so this our target audience- A young audience ranging from teenagers to young adults (roughly 15- 25 year olds). However it may also appeal to older adults who are interested in this kind of plot. A suitable age rating for this thriller is 15.
It would be a mainstream film because the idea is that the celebrities in this film are international stars; even the singer we see in the opening of the thriller, who is British.
This film would be promoted on magazines, t.v channels and radio stations with a similar target audience, in order to create a buzz about the film particularly amongst the younger generation.
