Editing diary (Part 2) - a new script

So far we have had two editing lessons and have also done some editing in our free time.
Due to the lack of audio in many of our clips, we have changed the dialogue slightly. We are able to do this because Erik's face is not shown until the very end so we can dub in what ever lines we want.
Now instead of the original script (which I posted on my blog on 1/12/16), this is what the dialogue will be :

Piper: Oh hello darling
Erik: Shut up! Now listen. you’ve been gone too long we’ve missed you (laughs sinisterly) your husband is here with me. And you know full well what I am capable of. Every two hours he will lose a finger knuckle by knuckle until you wire me 90 grand.
John: HELP! (henchman 1 punches John - he spits blood which lands on Erik's shoes)
Erik: These are Gucci you bastard! I told you to mind the boots. (shoots Henchman 1)
HENCHMAN 1: (screaming in pain)
Erik : Now that’s 90 grand in two hours or he loses his finger. I mean this. Don’t believe me? (laugh a little) There’s two pounds of Semtex in your daughter’s bedroom, I know it’s a little old fashioned but I have been Disavowed for your sloppy act. Try to leave the house and I will detonate it! Good luck piper, I’m looking forward to seeing you suffer. 
Piper: why are you doing this?
Erik: You remember the Yangoon job (laughs sinisterly again) Welcome back Piper 


We have arranged a day to re-record our audio. We need to record the sounds of chopping carrots, walking, a tap turning on and off, and the henchmen beating up John. We are hoping it will only take an hour or so to complete and then we can add the audio to our thriller in our next editing lesson. We have arranged times with our actors to record their voices for the new dialogue.

Similar Media Products

This week we conducted research on music artists of a similar genre to our chosen artist - Joni Payne - and studied their music videos, looking for similarities and differences between them. To do this we decided the genre of the song Hold Ya, which we are using for our music video, is alternative pop. We then used Spotify and YouTube to research different artists of the same genre and their music videos, analysing the use of camera, props, sets, costumes and more. Each person in our group studied a different artist and looked at 2-3 videos each. Personally, I looked at the solo artist Jorja Smith. She is similar to Joni Payne in that she is also a female solo singer whose songs are a similar style of soulful pop with jazzy beats. The results of our findings are recorded in the Prezi below : We found various aspects that were present in all 11 videos that we researched - such as lots of close-up and tracking shots, minimal makeup and a lip-syncing element.

Evaluation Question 4 - Who would be the audience for your media product?

'Who would be the audience for your media product?' Sean, Vova and myself came up with various questions to ask people of different age groups in order to find out who the audience for our thriller would be. The above video is these interviews compiled together. Also, I created a fake Instagram account for our ideal audience member. He is 17 years old, enjoys films -  especially those of the action thriller genre -  plays sports, and has a fairly liberal set of values in that he is supportive of gender equality and thus would want to see a thriller with a woman in a powerful main role - this is shown by his Instagram account as he posted a photo supporting International Women's Day. Also, he posted a photo of the movie poster for 'Lucy', an action thriller that features a strong female lead, and stated that it is one of his favourite thrillers.

Analysis of the film poster for 'Alien' (1979)

Image
‘Alien’ is a 1979 horror/science fiction film about a crew member of a space merchant vessel who is attacked by a mysterious life form which emerges later on to hunt down the rest of the crew one by one. The target audience for this film would be an older demographic due to the scary nature of the film which makes it unsuitable for children. Therefore this poster has to make it clear what genre this film is and has to attract the target audience of teenagers and adults who enjoy a good scare. In my opinion, the film poster for ‘Alien’ does this very well. Firstly, the poster for this film includes the iconic tagline, ‘in space no one can hear you scream.’ This chilling sentence automatically establishes the terrifying tone and genre of the film -  full of fear and death -  and creates a lot of suspense, making the audience eager to watch the film. The predominant colours in the poster are green and black which are very effective. Green lighting and mist is comin...
