Possible target audience

We did a bit of background research and thinking and tried to build up a character profile of what people would want to come see our movie. We know (as teenagers ourselves) that horror movies are popular with young people. They enjoy to go see them in groups or as young couples. An accurate age for a target audience would be 16-24 year olds. The older generation don't seem particularly interested in the horror genre.

Other films of the same genre that have been popular with the younger generation have included Saw, The ring, Paranormal activity and 28 Days later.

  

This is just a rough idea of what a potential audience could be, and in another post I will be uploading a more detailed description and a character profile of a typically audience member that would see "State of emergency".

Film delay

So we so our media film half done and then there was a week and a half of snow. we were unable to go out and film anything, and we hoped that it would clear up ASAP so would could continue our work.
In this time we gave the camera to Lauren, so she could go off and film some In between shots ( that we intended to use for flashbacks). these were set to take place indoors and be the memories of our main character. This was done although as the final piece came together for editing, we did decide against using them. We felt that the final piece flowed better without the flashbacks as it could confuse the audience given the time frame we had to work in.

Filming!

These are the recee shots we gathered for our filming location and we decided to begin filming here. We thought the dark and dense woods would make a great atmosphere for our zombie horror flick! Fitting in with the convention of horror films where (from our research) we found a lot of them are set in woods.
The only problem we would face is that if the filming process were too long, the seasons would change and the trees/woods along with it. We tried to film everything within a couple of weeks and only went back if absolutely neccessary. Before we started filming we checked the weather, (for continuity) and focused on getting all the handheld perspective shots, and the narrative done first.

Blog Delay

 The filming process is now finished and the editing process of our film "State of emergency" is underway. Due to the busy filming schedule of our film, I have been gathering evidence o the filming process to be posted at a later date. Over the next few days I will be posting all of Evidence in photos and videos that have been aquired during the filming process.

Shortly following this I will be posting the Evaluation of our finished movie.

Animated storyboard

This is the animated version on our storyboard, We created this using Adobe premiere pro. this will aid us in seeing how the shots will look in sequence and how they will flow. The video has been posted on our yuotube channel so we can also get feedback from this.

Storyboard

This is our groups storyboard. We have included as much detail as possible at this stage, but we may go back and change camera angles or sound. But this is the perliminary storyboard for our group.

Company name and Logo

This is the design for our production company "Dead Cell Productions". When designing it I tryed to make it look like a possible Horror/Zombie production companies logo. I used the i destroyed/Gunshot font, A gas mask and smoke. This will later be animated and used in our film.
