New Risk assessment

Action Carried Out	Risk		How this can be prevented or changed
Filming the first shot of the opening scene.	The fence in the back garden which can cause injury on the fall down or even getting cut from the wood. There was also on one side thrown bushes, could also be sharp objects in the bushes which could cause cuts.		Placing a mat at the bottom of the fence. This can be resolved by cutting certain areas to prevent these and using common sense
Lighting up the inside	The inside is dark which could cause picture quality problems as the camera may not be able to pick up low lighting		Using a reflector to reflect light from a lamp in the room helps bring light for the camera for a better picture quality
Props and Clothing	If the clothes are baggy the clothes could catch on something and cause an accident		Get actors to wear tight clothes to prevent this happening.
Incense stick	The stick could fall off and cause injury by heat		Not lighting the stick or placing it away from the actors
Cat	The cats walking all over the place from garden to house and maybe they could trip up		Placing the cats out of the way
Bread Knife		The Knife could maybe cut someone.	If someone gets cut get plasters and we could cut the bread before the filming

7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

Our preliminary task was filmed with fresh ideas, in a restaurant, which was later also meant to become our chosen location for our main task.  From day one we have liked the idea of a sort of gangster/mafia type of film, so we did that for our preliminary task, we learnt about the high importance of having certain rules to filming, such as 180 degree rule, the high importance of sticking to the drawn storyboards, and many more. Over the progression up to making our final piece, we sometimes forgot to incorporate or follow some basic rules of filming, this led us to go back and film again, and each time we would achieve a better result, we always progressed and it always led the group to better ideas and progress. We have also progressed in editing a lot, we have seen a high amount of editing tutorials, mainly from VideoCoPilot, this is s website with hundreds of tutorials which we watched and tried to incorporate into our final piece, most were not suitable, but we could take some ideas from them. The preliminary task was mainly covering the "basics" of filming, for our final piece we had learnt a lot more about the production and editing of a film opening sequence and therefore it was more advanced. We also used a wider range of equipment when compared to our preliminary task; this included all of the equipment listed here, more advanced equipment was used, 22" gold & silver reflectors for light management, a TP-1700 CamLink tripod and a Sony HD Handicam. To conclude, we have learnt both good and bad things since the production of our preliminary task, that sometimes things do not work out as planned, and that most of the time, with planning and research, things will work out as planned.

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

From the range of products used, we have learnt that technologies are growing ever faster and better for the film industry, programs such as Adobe Premier Pro, After Effects, HD Cameras etc, portray the future of film technology as very modern and electronic.

5. How did you attract/address your audience?

We attracted our audience through our group's Facebook page and our YouTube page which can be found on the following links:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=102530076478614&ref=ts
http://www.youtube.com/user/SimpleMindedProd

With our videos from our project drafts on these pages it helps people find out about our videos. Also the word of the mouth or messaging each other about the video. Telling friends about our production will pass our production on as a sort of chain, by which one person tells another and so on. Because our production begins with the establishing shot of one actor, with cards and a shot glass, this keeps the audience wanting to see more and as the camera zooms out and moves to the assassin, the audience feels more involved in the film and attracted.

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

Considering many things as a group we have a target audience of mainly teenagers or a young audience . This is mainly because the characters are young people, the theme music is of something that is modern and in the scene to say, most teenagers would listen to this as everyone of their age group would like the music.
The action in the clip would help attract teenagers as most teenagers would watch action films like the "Hitman" with weapons and people being killed. The fast paced action, gambling, alcohol and killing of the actors in our production would attract a young audience seeking a thrill, and an action packed, contemporary gangster film production.

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

Evaluation 3
The type of institution that would distribute our production would be a small company as the film made by our group is a low market,  low budget film, a likely company to distribute a film such as ours may be a British Film company such as FilmFour, which is small and would cope with the low amounts of profit that a larger film company would not. The FilmFour company also has a channel and this would therefore attract its' appropriate audience.
