Revisions - Bedroom Scene

-
A issue found in my film was located in the bedroom scene. Minor problems were found like a different color marker in 2 scenes, etc. To fix this, we re-filmed this scene completely. While adding these minor actions, I had the idea to print out a photo of Sadie's parents who play Mia's parents. We decided to do an over the shoulder of the character looking at the photo and the ripping it down the middle, separating the two parents. We were able to end it on the ripped paper on the floor which created the mood of a broken family, which is exactly what I was aiming for.

Revisions - Credits

When my class watched Alisa and my midterm submission, they commented on many things that could be fixed or altered. The first one was the credits. They rolled for almost half of the film. To fix this, Alisa cut the credits in half, putting multiple names on each screen. Of course, this made the film shorter, causing the need to add more scenes.

Audience Engagement Exercise- The Hate U Give

The Hate U Give is 2018 movie with a emotional story targeting police brutality. The audience consisted of teen and people in their early 20's. The story was based on teens and targeted a very popular, controversial topic. Just like my film, the characters are teens and it portrays a everyday issues that teens face. While mine is focused on alcoholism, this movie is focused on racism. Both are frequently talked about issues. A intriguing trailer was released along with billboards. When a social media video ad would come across anyone, they would have been very interested because teens like to watch films calling out sensitive subjects. I would also create a trailer that would show the popular issue that I am trying to convey. Hopefully this would fascinate the youth. The movie was heavily talked about at mental health conventions, which increased the audience. I would bring my film/trailer to many mental health conventions to help promote my product.

My Target Audience

-
My ideal target audience for this film is middle, high, and college students. Both male and females between the ages of 13-20 will be able to relate to the "I am ok" act. I think my film would be appealing to my audience because it is a very common situation that many people have gone through. It is rare for a subject like this to be shed light on, and some students may be interested on how it is conveyed and presented. Due to this subject being so common and relatable, but so unlikely to be talked about, people can be drawn to the film. Also, youth that struggles with family issues, alcoholic figures, and depression may be appealed to this film as though they can relate to what the main character is feeling.
