Blogdesign
This is the design we chose for our blog.
We wanted to brighten up the page and choose a neutral colour that would be open for all different kinds of audiences, so we went for the colour Red as our blog theme colour.
We put the background image of the advertisement we made for our film:
costumes - devontae

For Devontae we decided on him wearing black nike trainers, dark jeans, a dark coat, a black branded hat and then a Red branded tshirt. This showed that he had a bit of money as he had multiple piece of branded clothing, so it may have the audience questioning where a teenage boy is getting this kind of money from?
costumes - renee
Costumes
ReneeThe costume used for Renee is Ripped Jeans, Black coat, a beige scarf, Nike trainers, a rucksack and hoop earrings.
This costume shows a stereotypical urban teenage girl, we hope that our female teenage audience will relate to her.

Sound Planning
Sound Planning
What Sounds should be used for our film opening?As a group when this question came up we took 3 things into consideration.
- In youth drama's what kind of music is usually used?
- What kind of music relates to what is going on in our film opening?
- What music will draw in our audience from the minuet they hear it?
As the idea behind our film opening came from the BBC film "Murdered by my boyfriend", we watched the film opening to listen to the music and SFX that was used.

We felt that the calm music with narration over would not work for our style of Film opening.
We decided to explore into Urban music which is popular amongst the type of youth that is in our Film Opening.
We chose a urban song by a popular artist named stormzy, as our inspiration.
We hope to use this as inspiration and then make our own edited version.
We also hope to add in Foley sounds such as Police sirens, pigeons flapping, moving cars and text message notifications.

Rough Cut & Feedback
Rough Cut & Feedback
Feedback that we received from our rough cut are the following:
- Our narrative needs to be clearer
- The match cutting and cross cutting are good
- Few poorly framed shots - try to avoid them or work your way around them
- Sound repetitive - Try using different sounds (more Foley sounds)
- Titles need to be considered

Filming on 6th February 2015
Reflection
- We wasted a lot of time traveling to the location as we took the wrong route
- It was a very cold day so it took longer to film as we struggled to handle to equipment with num hands
- Many people came up to us to ask us what we were doing, this was very very time consuming and wasted time
- We were able to find a small cafe that let us film in, in Shoreditch
- We were able to get shots with graffiti within it
- We were able to get most of the shots done within that day, which included Monique and the shots where they meet
- We decided that we will film in Shoreditch as it was a closer location compared to Hackney
