Target Audience Profile

    Profile

     This is Brad he is 21 years old and he lives in Jersey. I chose to interview a 21 year old because they are able to watch films from every age bracket. This enabled a wider selection of films in which I could get a better feedback from.
     His favourite types of films are thriller and comedy. He enjoys all categories of the thriller genre, those of which being crime thriller, psychological thriller, paranoid thrillers and mystery thrillers.
     He enjoys thriller films because they usually include a lot of suspense and tension which automatically brings excitement. He thinks the cover-up of important information makes the film so much more interesting because it makes you really feel like you're part of the film also containing the important information. The common elements that he likes in the films are mind games, revenge, obsession and paranoia.
    His favourite thriller films are Minority Report, the Mission Impossible films, The Beach, Lord of War, The Da Vinci Code and most recently Law Abiding Citizen.

Production Company

I followed the tutorial of the 'shatter' effect on the website video co-pilot to achieve this production company ident. It took me about three lessons to do but once you got into it it seemed quite straight forward. I chose to do the shatter effect because it kind of fits in with the thriller genre in which my opening sequence is in. I used the programme 'Adobe After Effects' to make the ident but once I had made the basic clip I transferred it into 'Final Cut Pro' and applied the slow motion filter, in other words extend the clip to at least five seconds. I then exported it from there and imported it into 'Soundtrack Pro' so that I could add some sound effects to it.

Video Copilot Tutorial- This is the tutorial that I followed.

Adobe After Effects- This is where I created it following the tutorial on video co-pilot.

Soundtrack Pro- This is where I added the sound to the ident.

Final Cut Pro- This is where I combined the video and audio together and exported it out.

And this is my finished film production company logo.

Leadership Day Quiz

This is a quiz that I had to put together for a leadership day and it helped me understand final cut pro a lot better and I now feel confident in using this programme.
