We used 3 different locations for our production peice. The first location was welling school we used this location because we needed a school scene so we just used our own school to save time. The second location we used was Connors house.We used his house for the waking up scene for Kirsty. The third location was Jordans house we used her house for her waking up and getting dressed scene.
There wasn't many props used in our production because we didnt really need many. We used a pair of no lense glasses for the geek some school books. For the beuty the main prop was make up because she was applying it in one of our scenes.

Target Audience
Our target audience for our opening title sequence was aimed at teenagers. We chose teenagers because we felt as a group that was the best audience for this peice and because we are teenagers ourselves.We felt that if we targeted teenagers as an audience we would get more of an honest reaction because teenagers say what they feel without hesitation. Another reason why we chose teenagers as an audience is because we dont really know how to appeal to an adult audience and some adults may not relate to the story as teenagers would so it was easier for us to appeal to people our own age. Also because our film is inspired by Kidulthood it would of been stupid not to aim our film at teenagers

The lighting and Location of the opening scene of "se7en"
The lighting at the begging of the film is very dark and gloomy which straight away gives you the impression that the film is going to be a very dark and mysterious film.
The lighting of the murder scene at the beginning of the film is lighted in a specific well thought out way. There is a lamp hanging from the cealing wich makes the light cast a dark gloomy shaddow around the body and on morgan freemans face. This emphasises the darkness of the film. The building is a run down new york apartment which shows the dark side of new york not the glamourous shopping yellow taxis we see on the tv.
The character morgan freeman plays is a very smart well thought calculating individual who has been in the game for years and has seen some horrible things. Where as bradd pitt plays the eager young cocky rookie who thinks he knows everything after only a few years in the business. The scene of them walking down the street after leaving the murder scence shows straight away they are in a battle of power. Both of them walk in front of each other but morgan free man ends up being the one in front in the end to show that he is the one in charge and not bradd pitt the rookie.

Continuity Peice
The continuity sequence we had to produce was someone walking through a door, having a conversation and walking back out. But, we wanted to ad some humour into it so, I thought off a bad mannered student who had to speak to the headteacher for accusations off starting a fire. He then looses his temper and throws the nearest object at him. The guard at the door then attempts to calm him down but, the student then lashes out at him and slams the door.
The camera rules were match on action, the 360 degree rule and shot reverse shot. We planned out a line which we told ourselves we were not allowed to cross as we would break the 360 degree rule. Shot reverse shot is where the camera switches from when the first actor is speaking and the 2nd actor begins to speak. This also involves the 360 degree rule because off where we are not allowed to cross the line. Match on action is where an action off some sort is taking place then the camera switches to another frame off the same action thats happening.

This is our continuity sequence the camera shots where match on action the 360 degree reverse shot. We planned out a line that we knew we were not going to cross in order not to break the 360 degree rules. Shot reverse is a shot that the camera switches when the first character is speaking to when the second character begins to speak. This shot allso has the 360 degree rule because of where we were in order not to break the rule. Match on action is where there is some sort action taking place then it switching to the same action again but in a diffrent shot position. The countinuity peice is about a student who goes to school and gets accused of starting a fire on the school grounds we wanted the vidoe to be funny.

This is one of Kyle Coopers most famous title sequence for the film spider man. At the begining of the title sequence we see the marvel comic strip flicking threw on the screen as if sombody was reading a comic book. This is used to emphasise that the film is based on a marvel comic book which is famous all around the world and will atract many marvel fans to watch the film. Kyle Cooper has also thought carefuly about what kind of font he is going to use in this opening sequence. The font is small and rugged he has chosen the font this way to really make the words go well with the web in the background to make it actualy look like the font is stuck to the web. Just like his other title sequence "se7en" the music is chosen to match the theme of the film. At the beginning of "se7en" the music at the start is very unerving and scary to emphasise that it is going to be a quiet disturbing film. Where as spider man has more of a upbeat hero kind of theme at the begining.
