'Fixation' Opening Sequence

Here is our final product!

Creating music - Garageband

Anna and I (Lucy) had decided that we were going to make some music on the software garageband as we could not find any copyright free music good enough to use in our sequence, so we started to make our own. We knew we wanted to keep to the 80's funky theme and include tense dark music in the points that the Stalker character would be on screen. Because of this we looked at our sequence and made a timeline to plan out at what seconds needed what type of sound. We would locate the point in which needed a different type of sound and map it out and then put this into our music. We successfully created this with alot of hard work and time, time being 3 hours. 2 lessons and a lunch time as we wanted to make it perfect, and we believe it was and we were very happy with it.



                                                                WHAT WENT WRONG                                                     
 However when exporting our now finished song into iTunes, we realised it said that the song was 2minutes and 58seconds, when it should of been 1minute 30 seconds. What we had realised is that what we had though was seconds on garage band was actually 3 seconds and this had made our music to long, we were gutted however we are going to try our best to fix this the next lunch time and lesson we have to make it fit down to 1minute 30.

Target Audience

We have decided that our target audience would be for young adults and teenagers. If this movie was to be released we would give it a rating of 15. We have given our film this target audience because we are aware that many young teenagers and young adults love the genres of horror, drama and thriller.
This style of our film can be related to by teenagers and young adults as it explores the feelings of jelousy. People experience jelousy at all ages of life but it can be most prominent at a young age.
The characters can be related to by the audience as they are young and enjoy drinking and having fun.
Another theme that this movie explores is lust, and we are aware of how much young people experience this feeling. Mandy the character in this opening sequence is very unaware of what is about to happen, which again relates to hw unaware teenagers can be.

The main reason that the target is the same of the characters is that some of the feelings can be related to, it will entertain this audience as these are the extremes that happen when these feelings are introduced to someones live, and maybe the audience has felt as if they would want to do something like this in there life but would never take anything to those extremes.

Ideas for the name of our movie

For the name of our movie we would like it to be relevent to our genre. We also want it to be a name that would draw the audience in to want to watch it, as we know that the title of movies is the first judgement someone would make when deciding to watch a movie.

 We do not want the title of our movie sound like it is another genre e.g comedy or a romcom.

These are a list of some movies which inspire us and we think work well:

Donnie darko – it has the word “dark” which has connotations of evil. The alliteration of the D’s makes it stick in your head so you can always remember the name of the film.

Silence of the lambs – this does not nessaserily have connotations referring to the genre of the movie, but it is relevant to the story line of the movie. And this makes sense when you watch it.

American psycho – this title again does not tell you what the movie genre is but it is naming the description of the main character, this being an American and he is a psycho.

Inspiration for our opening sequence

The hole is a movie centred around an obessive girl who is fixated on a boy in her school. She is motivated and influenced by love, she does all that she can to insure that she gets her true love and does not care who she hurts along the way. The film tells the stories of her twisted lies and how they've managed to ruin peoples lives, if not end them. It also displays how innocent people can be destroyed because of the envy and insanity of one individual. This is why this film inspires ours, jelousy, obsessiveness and selfishness are the main features.
