Audience Feedback Forms

I have designed audience feedback forms in order to thoroughly see the appeal of my film, and to see if I have truly reached my aims and not just in my opinion.

This is the interactive version of my audience feedback form, I have asked questions by lookinginto my aims and asking questions that are relevant. The genre of my film is the crucial question in my aims, as I want my audience to feel empathy for my character and begin to understand his emotions. I did this through genre by changing the colour, and using a song. Using this form I will be able to see the different audience perspectives.

Non-Diegetic Song Choice

I found this song searching for music to follow the "missing wife" scene. Guy has lost his wife, it may have being his own fault, it is not yet established in the narrative, but what we do know is she was with him and he still is not used to having her missing.
This song is very emotive, it helps the audience know how to feel, specifically I will be using from 1.05 onwards.

This music is taken from Youtube.

Reflexive Analysis Begins

For my A2 project I chose to make an opening sequence from a film lasting between 3-5 minutes, instead of making a short film so I could cause an emotional response for the audience. In my work I chose to work individually so that I would have full control over planning, directing and editing my project. The way I made sure I kept up with my planning was by using my blog: www.bethanyhironsfilma2.blogspot.com. I decided to make a film that could fit into the thriller genre, but also with a dramatic edge. The title of my film is "The Drug Squad" this represents the police force that he works for, but also the specific narcotics department that we see him in within the narrative. I found inspiration for this storyline by looking into the tv series CSI, this storyline was done within an episode and I felt that I could elaborate this into a film. I had already decided on doing a storyline that involved a police officer, however, I had not thought about using the drama genre.

Reshoot Script

(Set: me behind the camera, not in the shot just voiced over)

Me: Candidate Number 23716, Guy McKenzie applying for role as Chief Constable.

Me: how are you Guy?

Guy: i am fine thankyou, abit nervous, you know.

Me: why do you think you would be suited for this job?

Guy: i have worked in a police station for 10 years now,  i feel it's time to move up and on

Me: what attributes would you bring to this job?

Guy: i would bring two factors to the force, first of all leadership, i feel i am a confident but also nurturing leader, but alongside that I bring iniative.

Me: thanks Guy we will consider your application.

Reshooting neccasary

Due to problems with scripting, putting the image together did not work, the text did not workso neccassary  changes are being made. I have decided toget rid of that scene as it does not make enough sense, and instead adding a beginning on which has being filmed on 19th March.

The scenes contain Him being interviewed for his job, but then also missing his wife in the scenes after that.

First Draft

My film so far without names added to the title sequence:




The interview process with Guy before he gets the job, and how it changes his life because he becomes so intertwined into his work. He states in the interview that he does not want to get involved with the narcotics department, however, we know from the title of the film, and also the lyrics of the song, he has become embroiled  and, through this managed to lose a love; his wife.
