How does your product represent particular social groups?

Our product represents a certain social group which is urban teenagers through the aspect of mise-en-scene and also the music and location that were used. the typical hoodies and bandannas were used to portray this type of social group so that it could be communicated easily from the screen to the audience. Also the use of gang culture was used as it is a current problem within London so people will be able to relate with it and would therefore understand what is happening and how to react to what is happening on screen.

Audience Feedback

This is the audience feedback that we got with the first draft of our opening scene.

With this feedback the things that we thought we should change were:
-shorten the walking scene
-make credits less crowded and change colour of credits
-have more steady shots
-produce more cut in shots
-cut it down to 2 minutes
-take out most of the POV shots

Equipment

During production we had to organise and inform our teachers about the dates we wanted to film this was a crucial factor as camera renting had to be done during school hours and we had to have suppervision from an adult.
Also we had to inform and organise dates for our main protagonist to be on set during prouction.
During these dates we also had to have back up cast just incase certain characters were unable to attend on the filming days set.

We also used this camera (canon 500D) to film our add on shots that we had to put in after our audience feedback in order to rectify and improve our opening scene. This camera belonged to one of the members of the group and also shot in HD so was a good substitute for the other camera.
