Risk assesment and test footage

There are many risks involved witch could happen while the opening is being filmed:

Risks
1) fight scene
2) Using the baseball bat
3) running trough the woods
4) falling over
5) sharp, big braches sticking out
6) Ditches


Solutions
1) The way to avoid getting hurt during the fight scene is to just pretend that we are swinging a bat or pretend we are throwing a punch
2) Not swinging the baseball bat around will avoid people getting hurt.
3) checking the path before running will help to lower the risk of getting hurt by running through the woods, picking up any litter and avoiding areas with slippery mud will reduce the risk of falling over or cutting ourselves.
4) watching where we walk and avoiding slippery or steep slopes will help avoid falling over and twisting an ankle or breaking any bones
5) we will need to watch where we walk and to be careful not to walk into any branches
6) be mindful of ditches or sharp drops in the ground

Props list

We will have a few props which will be used throughout the opening sequence.





The baseball bat will be used in the fight scene.



A cigarette will be used in one of the introduction of character scene.



Hoody's will be used as it conforms to the genre that we are trying to portray (crime, gangs)


A fallen tree branch is used as a weapon/threat during the introduction of characters

Target audience

The target audience of our film opening will be 15+, as it involves violence, swearing and other adult themes such as drugs etc.

This film also has a certificate for 15 because it relates to teenagers of this age before they go into adulthood and in some places which have gangs, adults who are still involved in gangs.

This film is not suitable for younger audiences as it has many adult themes which may influence the way they act or scare them

This film will be a mainstream film which will play in cinemas such as vue, cineworld and some other smaller cinemas

Test footage.
More images.
Not many pictures.
Pictures on props costumes.

From all the feedback from all the other groups it shows that we have included a lot of analysis with a lot of content and definition however we have not got much content on our filming side of the work so we will have to do more work on things such as the locaton we will be filming at by taking pictures and videos, more information on what will be worn during the shoot and what other objects will be used which will help define the genre of our opening sequence, what shots we will use when filming to help give the viewer the most amount of information possible for example a birds eye view will not give the viewer much information when it comes to seeing the onjects being used or the facial expressions of the charachters.

This feedback has helped because it has given information on what we need to do to help improve our blog, getting feedback is good because it helps give ideas about what other things you can do while filming but also what sought of information the people reading our blog wants to know about.
