What have i learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?


Camera Work:




















For filming the media product, we used the FujiFilm S9600 Bridge Camera. It enabled us with possible focus pulls, and good optical zoom.
Also files to transfer onto final cut pro was no hassle.



Editing:
In the editing I used a few different programs for the opening sequence, and each played a different part in the sequence. All the programs came from Final Cut Studio, which helped out a lot and had relevant software to produce a low budget opening sequence.






I also used photoshop to produce two titles in the opening sequence. Which also gave a good effect.


Titles:
For the production of titles, I was able to produce a title using Motion, and combined the title with a soundtrack i produced on GarageBand, for a professional feel to the title sequence. From using Motion i learnt how to produce video loops, and how to create an animated short sequence.






















Making music:

The first part of the main opening sequence is the soundtrack, produced and edited by Marius Maldem. He first produced the the rapping in the recording studio with a backing track playing, it was then editing using Fruity Loops Studio, which enabled him to edit every part of the track, being able to add sequencers, and various other effects. With his permission, we were able to use this as the main part of our opening sequence. I was also able to synchronize different parts of the sequence to relevant parts in the soundtrack to give an interesting effect.

How did you attract/address your audience?


In the movie we used quite relevant sounds and soundtracks to attract relevant audiences who like similar hip-hop and rap style music.
Typical and popular artists would be "Dizzee Rascal" and also "The Game"


















































Also the events during the movie may involve similar problems and situations to people watching the movie, as they too, may be involved in this style of life, but hopefully without the same level of violence. The main way that we attracted our audience is through word of mouth, and that through a public spreading of the media product, it wouldn't cost anything for advertising, if we had to, and that it would also be popular amongst the particular audience.

Suitable Audience for the media product.


The suitable age Certificate for "My Turf" would be a 15, due to the strong language and violence. Relevant and similar films to this media project that audiences may have seen before, is the movie "Kidulthood" and its sequel "Adulthood"






as they both show a crime-like theme throughout the
films involving the police and other authoritative figures.



















Our main aim, is the younger audience of 15 - 18 years of age, and from there on the word of mouth may also gather older audiences of 19+, which would benefit the film even more.
