Evaluation Question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?
Jordan Campbell's Slidely by Slidely Slideshow

I believe that our target audience could extend out to all Muslims in general. The adults may want to see how Muslim children behave whilst they are out and about, this doesn't apply to everyone as not all Muslim children act like how they are portrayed in the film.

Evaluation Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Representation: The way in which something is conveyed

we represented the social groups in our film in a negative way, we made it seem as if the youth were bad and were anti-school, we represented this in the costume we chose. everybody with their hoods up makes them look more intimidating

Evaluation Question 1

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

we tried to conform to the traditional title sequence order, we used the title sequence of a film that inspired us whilst we were creating our title sequence, Bend it Like Beckham

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Evaluation Question 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Evaluation Question 6 by Slidely Slideshow

The technologies that we used whilst creating our title sequence include:

Final cut pro - the software we used to edit our clips, I didn't have much knowledge of using final cut pro prior to this film. as the editor I think I have developed quite a bit of skill in the editing department and I have developed my skills using final cut pro.

Motion - the software we used to create our titles for the the sequence, before our film I had never used motion before. even though I never created the title sequence, I think I am better at using it than I was before we started

without the ability to use final cut pro, our film would have been nowhere near as good as it is. we were able to cut and rearrange clips in order for our title sequence to look good. also, it allowed us to use effects that made our title sequence look a lot better. Also, the use of motion allowed us to use our own custom font and make our title sequence look professional. the use of the font added to the effect of our film as it fit it with our theme.

Camera shots / angles

We used a number of shots, movement and angles in our film to make it look as professional and interesting as possible. These shots include:

Medium shots

Close Ups 

Extreme Close Ups 

Over the Shoulder

Establishing Shot

Locked Down Shot

Tracking Shot

Arc Shot

Eye Level Shot

Editing our blog (sound) 5/04/15

We have now successfully put together the videos in the sequence that we will be putting it in our title sequence.Now we are picking the sound to go behind our title sequence to set the up-beat youth drama that we intend to potray to our audience.

Blog Post 5 - 'Watching' documentary

From the watching documentary, i have learned that:

A good beginning must make the audience feel that it doesn’t know nearly enough yet, and at the same time make sure that it doesn’t know too little". This means that the role of the beginning of movie is to capture the attention of audience but not give too much of the movie away.

there are four main categories of title sequences:
- titles on a blank screen
- titles on still images
- titles over moving images
- titles using animations or motions


title sequences were originally created to show the audience who produced and distributed the film for copyright purposes. not long after they began to show the names of the starring actors from the film in the title sequence and ever since they have developed into key parts of the film which can tell a story before the film has even begun.

Director Jean Jacques says that "the risks of instant arousal might give all the excitement at the beginning and has nothing to compare it with". if the opening is gives away too much and excites the audiences there is a chance that they may not want to watch the rest of the film.

Production Schedule

January 31st - February 1st - Iman filming herself at home, shows how the main character lives at home, beginning of the title sequence.

2nd February - we went to film at The London Mosque in Whitechapel, shows the good side of the main character and how she abides by religious rules

5th February - reviewing footage to make sure everything looks good, looking to see if we needed to re film anything

9th February - filming the scenes around the college, showing how the main character acts around friends.

12th February - finish editing to a point where we have our first rough cut.

Editing 2/3/14

a problem that arose whilst i was editing was that camera settings had been changed meaning that the quality of the clips were different. some of them were in 720p and the others were in 1080p. i had to get the clips converted so they were all the same quality.

also, we had clips that we recorded on a different camera which were a different format to what our other clips were. we also had to get them clips converted in order to use them. besides from that we created our title sequence and began to add it to the clips, we just need to add sound and we'll be done.

Rough Cut & Feedback

Evidence of making of Title Sequence.

This image shows us in the making of the title sequence for Haram. We found it quite easy to make but at some point we had to slow down the entry of the writing which we found was difficult. But at the end we called for help and solved how to do it.

Changes to font

When we first were creating our title sequence we had the font El Valiente but as the theme is based around muslim culture we decided to have more araab style font to fit the theme. The font was then changed to XXII ARABIAN - ONENIGHTSTAND.

















 El ValienteXXII ARABA-ONENIGHTSTAND

Revisions to Pitch

we changed the font of the title to something more suitable and relevant to our title sequence
*Add Haram Font Here*

we have decided to mime the words instead of actually speak in our title sequences, we will just have music playing in the background.

we have completed the storyboard to help illustrate what we want to do for our film and the particular shots we take.

we will demonstrate the bad acts by having the main character do things that would be considered haram e.g. drugs.

Evidence of editing (Blogpost Task 43)

This is shows our group putting together a rough draft of our movie so we get an idea of how our title sequence is going to plan out.

We are using Final Cut Pro to edit our title sequence as it is the most efficient form editing software and it is the most easiet available to us as we are a low budget production company.
