Target Audience



































































The target audience research sheets questionnaires above, were given to an audience aged between 15-25,a group we had chosen to target.The questions were based on the type of film genre liked and why.Overall the most popular genre chosen was dance,whilst thriller,horror, sci-fi and romance were picked the least.The target audience questionnaire gave our group an idea of who might be interested in the dance genre chosen for our title sequence.Once we knew our target audience,we were able to research into film genres of that particular age group and found that dance was a popular genre,which we thought could incorporate a lot of contemporary ideas,that could help make our "Change the Beat" title sequence appeal to our audience.The feedback showed that people enjoyed watching upbeat movies with an urban vibe and a storyline in which the audience could relate to.The dance element of the film was a way of showing how young people express themselves nowadays,suggesting and encouraging people to experience and enjoy the opportunities of life;a message that is portrayed in the sequence.

Feedback forms




































































These are the are the feedback forms we received from our class during the screening of the title sequence.A range of views have been expressed and we have taken these comments into consideration and will be adding them to our sequence.


After receiving these feedback forms,I had cometo a realisation, that major changes needed to be made on our production work.I thought about the way in which we had presented the seqeunce.Myself and my group scheduled a day to refilm in order to get better camera shots and angles to improve the cinematography within the sequence.The feedback helped our group because it highlighted the main problems we needed to focus on in order to produce a successful sequence.Unfortunately due to actors cancelling scheduled filmed time,we were unable to fix most of the problems to ensure that our title sequence was at a high standard.

Production logo

Jump productions is our production name,we brainstormed a few names and finally decided to use this name because we thought it was simple and fitted well with the theme of movement/dance.The shoes were chosen, because they represented our genre (dance).The typography is kind of slick and smooth.It has been neatly done and it looks quite professional.

Typography questionnaires

Here are the two questionnaires filled out,in order to find out our target market for Change the beat.There was a range of mixed feedback.This may be due their age,gender,personality, an so on.




As you can this questionnaire was filled in by a 9 year old, therefore her needs are different from an average 16 or 17 year old person.In this questionnaire the participant put the the titles in order of most favourite and least favourite. Title.E. was chosen as the best typography for change the beat,whilst Title.A. was chosen as the most unsuitable.
I think that this person chose this because children like to see patterns,therefore she was more drawn to title.E &D.She mentioned that D&E were very close to each other,proving that title appeals to that market.





From this questionnaire you can see that what this teen prefers ,is what we would offer,which means we know our audience. This person felt that Title.E. was the best title for Change the Beat because she liked the look of the font.


This person also prefers comedies and adventure,which shows they are fun loving and adventurous and like to try out new things.I think that this show that "Change the beat" would suit them just because it has that fun,exciting aspect to it.

Filming Location (Permisson Letter)

A letter for permission to film at Woolwich poly school to find out wheter or not we can use the dance space and the dance members,to film our title sequence.Since Becky has close relations with someone that attends ,dance classes in that school.The letter was signed by Mr Grimsley,to make sure that we had permission to send the letter.If we are unable to use this location; other alternatives will be used such as the dance studio in our school.

Music/Sound

Music/sound research and final soundtrack decision.

I have decided that this is the type of music that will be suitable for Change the beat title sequence because they both seem to have the vibe we are looking for.Big Boss will be for the dancing in the sequence.Perfection will be used when it comes to the main character (Frankie)in the wheelchair.

Big boss soundtrack:
http://www.audionetwork.com/production-music/big-boss_23163.aspx
This tune has a urgent, powerful urban RnB groove type of vibe that will need in the title sequence because it will add to the sequence;with its powerful sound and urban feel,which would portray the titles genre.This will set a strong tone and mood for the title sequence.

Heaven cent soundtrack:
https://audionetwork.lgfl.org.uk/production-music/heaven-cent_13319.aspxWest coast
This tune has RnB/hip hop with repetitive piano & strings.This soundtrack I have chosen will be used as a back up,alternative incase we are unable to use the other soundtrack;Big boss.

Perfection soundtrack:
