The target audience for our production could be seen as predominantly male because of the dark nature, however females may be attracted to the emotion involved in our production. As an age group we believe that people aged 15 to 30 would be the people most likely to watch our production as it would most resemble their lifestyle as we have based our characters on teenagers although it has some adult themes which my boost the age certificate and appeal to a slightly older audience.
People most likely to watch our film are those who enjoy film thrillers although the themes of our production may interest a wider audience if it was advertised on television and shown at the cinema or on the television and then decide to watch it and see what it is about.
If this was shown on television it would be aired perhaps after the watershed due to the drug and violence themes.
We are not recording any dialogue for The Deal but instead, adding a voice over from the main male and female character. The voice overs will guide the audience through the film as it will help them to understand exactly what is going on but without revealing too much as to give away the rest of the film.
Also during editing, we will add a soundtrack which will become quieter during the voice overs. The soundtrack will complement the action shown on screen.
When editing we are using quick cuts to add pace which will keep the audience attracted which is something we learned we needed to change from our preliminary exercise. We are going to show the difference between flashbacks and present time by making the flashbacks more red to seem like a faded memory and also by using a dip to colour before and after each flashback.
During editing we will not only be adding titles but also creating an animation for both the production and distribution company which we would have made up ourselves.
The location we have chosen to film in is a run down area around an old building. Within this location there is rubbish, old walls, weeds and other foliage to create a rundown effect. We picked this location as it suits the storyline well because it is about drug dealing so the location neede to be enclosed enough that there was not any members of the public around and would be a good 'hang out' for the main characters.
We will not use many props as the storyline is simple and can be told mainly by the actors; their facial expressions and acting. However, we will use alcohol bottles which shows that the main male character is 'drowning in his sorrows'. He is upset and depressed and doesn't know what to do, he just wants to forget so we will use the alcohol bottles to show that he has been drinking. Also, we will be using flour in a small clear bag as a prop for the drugs being dealt which is supposed to be cocaine.
The costumes we will use will be quite simple, the two main charceters will wear scruffy, old and messy clothing whereas the drug dealer will be dressed smartly showing he is wealthy and maybe make the audience ask questions as to why he is dealing little to some poor drug takers.
The lighting we will use will all be natural light as we are filming outside in adequate daylight. Also by using natural light we are creating an effect of a place not too light which adds to the downbeat nature of the film.
The majority of our shots will be close-ups and mid-shots to make the audince feel close to the action and so they can see the pivotal points in our storyline such as the drug deal. The average shot length will be between 3-4 seconds as we have to fit in a lot of shots which all together creates a faster pace to the action.
In our flashbacks we plan to record a lot of shots and edit them fast together which will alsobe from many various angles, once again crreating pace but also to show they are distorted.
