Costume ideas

Every character in this film has their own character and style, and to do this we had to plan what each character wears and their stereotype.Megan who plays Scarlet, is wearing a orange or white vest top and black socks and leggings/jeans. The reason why she is wearing this because she is dying in this and she hasn't put on the black and white checkered dress that is still hanging up. We did this because we don't want to stain personal expressive clothing, so we did it so that we still see the dress, and how my personality is like and the stereotype of her character as we only have a sort time to show her character.The make-up the character is wearing dark eyes, with big black flicks on the eyes, and some dark eye shadow to show my personality as quite dark and a Goth/Emo stereotype. Then the character is wearing normal colour foundation, and pale pink lipstick. We was going to put this character up for black lipstick but we didn't because we thought it would make to much of an impact for my personality.

Daniel who will be playing the killer, is wearing a black hoodie, jeans and converses. With the killer wearing a black hoodie, it shows the mystery of the killer, because we do not know who he is or why he has killed Megan's character. you will be able to tell the killer is male because of the clothes worn and big, broad shoulders. 

Chantelle who plays Eva, is wearing a black laced zip up dress, and orange platforms. We put her in this costume because she is going to a party, and we wanted to put her in a laced black dress, because it seems for formal as she is the lead girl in the film, and older. She is also wearing platforms, because she is going to a party, so the shoes, this also makes her taller, which makes her stand out against the other girls. 
Chantelle's make-up has smokey brown eye make-up, natural lip colour, lashes and thick mascara. She will be wearing this make-up because as she is the leader she needs to look more grown up and not other the top make-up like the other in the group. 

Abigail who plays Riley, is wearing a cream with black polka dots on the top half and black bottom zip up dress with black sandals. We wanted to have her wear this costume, because she to is going to a party and this also shows her girly personality because she is wearing a dress.  
Abigail's make-up will consist of natural foundation, eyeliner, fake lashes, thick mascara and pink lipstick. This make-up shows her girly personality, because it is so thick and bright, it also is not to much because, her foundation is her skin tone, compared to the average girly girl, that will have orange foundation. Having Abigail's character wear fake lashes and thick mascara, brings out her eyes, so you know by looking at her that she is a girly girl. 

Kimberley who plays Cassie, is wearing a dress which is leopard print at the chest and black from the waist down, it is also short at the front and long at the back. She will also be wearing leopard print high heels. We put her in this costume, because she has quite a slutty personality, I find that this costume shows her personality well because it is quite full on, and with the high heels it makes the outfit look more slutty in a way. Also with Cassie wearing a dress with leopard print just on the chest area, brings more attention in the chest area, which must be her aim as she is going to a party, so tit shows her slutty personality.
Kimberley make-up will consist of blusher, natural foundation, eyeliner, thick mascara and bright red lipstick. This make-up is also portraying her personality again because her make-up is full on. With her wearing thick mascara, it brings out her eyes and she is wearing red lipstick, so that also brings out her lips, because red is such a bold slutty colour especially when it is used as lipstick. 

The role of Characters

The character of Scarlet is played by Megan Voisey.
The role for her in the film opening is one of the girls getting ready for a party. This character is the one that makes the film opening to the mystery, and the start of the film to be dark and scary!
My personality is something called a Grundger, this is were a person has a dark look and it into most things a Goth would be into, but they also can wear casual clothes. It is okay to have my character as a stereotype Grundger because as I'm not a main character is doesn't matter as much, so we are not targeting a small audience if I was a main character.
My character doesn't have a lot of time to show her personality, because I die at the beginning of the film, but to show my style I have a gothic looking dress hanging on my mirror, to show my personality. My age of my character in the film is 18.

The character of Eva is played by Chantelle Roberts.
The role for her in the film opening is the one who phones up everyone and to see if they are ready, using the three way call. She is the most popular person in the group and looks the most casual and has a nice common style, as she is a main character we need to drag a large target audience that relates to her character. She is also the oldest in the group so she is also seen as the leader of our group. Her age in the film is 20.

The character of Riley played by Abigail Morey.
Rileys character is the girly girl in the group and at the beginning she is wearing a dress that has come from Select (big target audience because of a main shop people use). The character of this character is 19.


The character of Cassie played by Kimberley Dalton.
The character of Cassie in the film is the slut in the group, and the youngest of all of us. At the beginning she is wearing a leopard print dress, and most people in the audience can relate to that style. She wears bright red lip stick, and has more of a slutty look to the rest of us. She is another main character in the movie, and her style is a big impact on the film, as she is the one that survives at the end. The character of Kim is 17.

Target Audience Demographic

We have a target audience, so we needed to make sure the target audience we want viewing the film will appeal to them the most.
To get the target audience we want, which is teens to young adults we need actors in the same age range which can relate. We have split the audience into 4 groups to help us analyse different aspects.
Which are-

-16-18 girls
-16-18 boys
-18-24 girls
-18-24 boys

The age of the 16-18 girls we needed to know what they are into. Most 16-18 year old girls are into make-up, boys and partying. We where able to link them in with a party to start the film. Also there are different sort of groups in the 16-18 space, which is stereotypes groups, were girls have friendship groups of their stereotype e.g- popular girls, nerdy girls, goth girls. To get a wide range of a target audience each of our character have different stereotypes in the film. It also helps because our character are the ranges 18-20.
It can appeal to 16-18 girls because its what 16s can look forward to (parties), and 18s where they can relate.

The age of 16-18 boys can also appeal to them. We used a thriller as a genre because boys would much rather see a thriller film and not a chick flick (so good for a date). And we have used the element of partying and teens at their age like and want to party, so we are able to drag both genders to this film. No only that but attractive girls are in the film, so boys would want to come to see attractive girls.

The age 18-24 girls can also watch this film, it can link into them and can appeal to them. They can look back on party moments, but have a bad twist in our story line. Also we have an actor, acting the age 20, so we still have the same age range. Also as we know the large age range to go to the cinema is 18-24 year olds its good to target them.

The age 18-24 year old boys can go to watch this thriller because boys like thrillers, and as there is a good story line it can keep them entertained. Also the boys can watch it with friends, girlfriends or when they don't need to go into work.

So we have been able to get a whole range of people 16-24, both ages into this film, as it is a wide target audience the film can be successful. However, this can differ from target audience because other people out of our target range could want to see this film.

World War Z Review

World War Z

The new zombie film of 2013 has struck my heart and my passion for zombies, this action packed film takes Shaun of the Dead right off the market, this is the film to buy!

If you love zombie then this film is for you!

The film starts as a normal day, but within 15 minutes of the film starting, action and fear starts, filling the whole film with a chance to survive and trying to cure this disease.

There are amazing parts in the film and the actors go off to fight the infected and survives the most heart pounding events.

Camera Angles and CGI effects are perfect in this film, you get a perfect birds eye view when you see zombie climbing up the walls of the safe area.

Giving my view on the film I give it 5/5 stars because it is seriously one of the best zombie films for a long time.

However, this doesn’t have much blood and gore in this film, so this film is nothing like 28 days later. Also World War Z has got a few jump scares in it, so be prepared and hold your popcorn tightly!

This action packed zombie film will leave you on the edge of your seat and tension is thick in the air when walking with the dead.

On the other hand the only problem with this film there isn’t really a good plot to it, there’s enough zombie and edge of seat moments but not a lot of things take you by surprise.

Also there’s not much comedy, it’s mostly serious, unlike Shaun of the Dead and Zombie Land, so if you like comedy then this film wouldn’t really make you laugh.

I like this film because its action packed and has enough zombie and tension to keep me entertained and amazed. 

If you love zombies or action, join the experience and buy World War Z on blue ray or DVD, coming soon to shops near you.

Music for Movie

Setting the scene with music-

For our film opening we were having troubles finding good songs to have in the opening. We released we couldn't have a love song in out opening scene because someone is going to die, so we needed to set a scene.
As we are getting ready for a party we needed some up beat music but also sad.
We choose some songs, like Summer Time Sadness by Lana Del Rey, but the covers were to slow and didn't really fit. We also tried Wake me up inside by Evanescence, but covers were to bad quality and wasn't a wide range. We were disappointed that we couldn't have this song because it fitted well.

However, we found other covers of another band called Paramore. We found good covers that were upbeat.
We chose a song from them called Decode, famous by Paramore and has featured in the film Twilight in 2008.
In this we found a cover by MEMELii, that has done a good quality cover. We are going to use this song we are getting ready. We did find other covers but they were rather to slow or didn't fit the scene.

We have chosen two songs, one for the beginning when we are getting ready, and another when you see me dead. We are still having trouble finding the second song but we do have a good one by The Weeknd- Valerie (piano cover). This is the one we have liked but it hasn't be confirmed.
We did change the song in the end, we changed it to Lana Del Rey Young and Beautiful. So we found a good cover by The Theorist.
After editing the filming, we noticed this song didn't work, even though it was sad it didn't fit the emotion of the scene and me being dead. So we didn't know what song to pick. So we have chosen to make our own music, we went on something called Garage Band, where you can make your own tunes  and music! I have beening makeing the song for the dieing scene and we will use this in our film.

The first part of our music is going to be Diegetic music, because I turn on my phone to hear music when I'm getting ready (Paramore Decode). The music is going to be diegetic for my character and Kims character (Cassie), after the next shot when it goes to Abi's character (Riley), just the music is going to be more of a overlap so sound is going on, so its be Non-diegetic for her and Chantelle character (Eva).
After I get killed there will be the music track that I made, this is going to be Non-diegetic music for all character, so the audience will feel sorry for the character becasue it is sad.

We have also made our own music for when the title comes up, there is two ideas, still don't know which one we are choosing.
After thinking we decided to go with Chantelle's song for the title, this is also done on Garage Band.
