Risk Assessment

Cinematic Look

I have looked further into the different ways of making content look more professional. Having looked into how to achieve a cinematic look in my film I am confident as I now know the ways in which I will need to position my camera, adjust the white balance, the ISO settings etc. I already had knowledge on the subject of this and now have new insights to improve my content further.

Title Of My Film

Here I have created an example of what the title will look like. In the film I plan to overlay this title over my film footage in white with a black shadow. An example of this is shown below:

Any other text that will be shown in the title sequence will also be shown in the same font style and layout.

Mise-en-scene

I have looked further into the Mise-en-scene of the lighting, colour schemes and the hair, makeup and costumes that my characters will be dressed in. I have also looked further into other alternatives and techniques to colour grading.

I have researched some old "70's Cop shows" and their title sequences. I think the best sequences that I will be reflecting my sequence on are:

• Starsky and Hutch
• Black Dynamite
• Hawaii-Five-O
• The Interceptors
• It Takes A Brave Man To Cry

Some of these sequences are not actual television shows that aired in the 70's but, however, represent them very well in order for myself to see what costumes my characters will need to be dressed in and the colour correction I will need to apply to my film in order to make it look authentic. 

About the script

In my title sequence I am basing the camera shots, editing style, costumes and characters on a "70's Cop Show" title sequence. Therefore there will be no speech meaning that I will not be using a script. This is because in all of the title sequences I have watched and used for inspiration do not have speech included in the sequence. I think if i was to have speech my target audience wouldn't understand what I am trying to achieve in my title sequence. 

Storyboard

I have created a storyboard which shows the plan I have created for my title sequence film.

The Interview

Colour Correction

I have looked at the colours and lighting that I will be using in my title sequence. This is a type of miese-en-scene. This is because I will be editing and colour correcting the movie I have filmed. This is a very important part of the post edit of my film as I am trying to create a 70's theme. If I was to leave the footage raw I wouldn't be able to simulate the era that I am basing the footage on. This means that my audience wouldn't understand the introduction, leading on to them misunderstanding the remainder of the film. This would make the introduction ineffective to "introduce" the film.

Audience Effect Theories

Why do audiences choose to consume certain texts?
Audiences choose to consume texts because they have an interest in the topic. For example my target audience range is large due to the 70's theme for older generations and police running around and driving round in cars. Nobody who is 60 years old and has an interest in opera is going to want to watch a 70's cop show.

How do they consume texts?
Audiences normally consume texts though reading about them on social media or watching them. These are the most common ways to consume content in the digital age. 

What happens when they consume texts?
Audiences judge what they have just consumed instantly. To receive a "good review" from your audience you need to make it seem as though your content is unique, even though the concept has probably been made many time over previously.

Location- I will have to consider the location of which I am going to film my sequence. The location I choose will raise questions about the regulation and control.

Consumption- Audiences are defined by what they consume. I will have to create the title sequence to fit into a specific genre so that they audience know exactly what they're going to be watching.

Size- I will need to distinguish between mass audiences and niche audiences. This will provide me with a baseline of how to plan my sequence.

Audience Categorisation

My target audience or any audience is normally categorised into different sections. Below I have listed the most likely sections that my target audience is going to fit into:
A - Upper middle class: 
Top management, bankers, lawyers, doctors and other professionals.
B - Middle class:
Middle management, teachers, many 'creatives' for example graphic designers 
etc.
C1 - Lower middle class: 
Office supervisors, junior managers, nurses, specialist clerical staff etc.
C2 - Skilled working class: 
Skilled workers, tradespersons (white collar). 
D - Working class:
Semi-skilled and unskilled manual workers (blue collar).
E - People at lowest level of income:
Unemployed, students, pensioners, casual workers.

Silhouette Tutorial

I have researched how to create silhouettes in my film. These types of shots will be included in every few cuts of the title scene I will be filming.
