We created a group email to enable organisation of any work that we all as a group need to view this enables us to make sure we have a backup of work so our entire group can view the work this means if someone isn't in and they have access to internet they can send work so others can publish it to there blog and also use in practical lessons.
The youtube account creation enables the group to save videos of influences to our favourites which we can then use on our blogs for future reference and also it allows us to post our videos we create.

Tips
Mr Go allowed gave us a way to avoid letterboxing so it avoids the long process of waiting for a long clip to letter box the process consists of after you have finished uploading the video you go to the stop button then save then quit the application this avoids the process of letterboxing.

In lesson we have edited a song that we have looked at and enjoyed yet we feel parts of the song need to be remove as so it can fit well in our work so we edited the song and removed parts we did this using garage band so we could make it suitable for our film. The artist we used is called The Widdler the songs name was technobable this is a dubstep tune with a slightly eery rhythm to it so we wanted so lower the tempo and make it slightly more scary and less similar to the tune that we acquired from myspace
Whilst experimenting with ideas to use in our movie we looked upon how we could use everyday items in order to create suspense. For example we thought of using the image of a zoomed in blow drying brush of which looks like a deathly object up close. The irony would be when zoomed out it would be an ordinary object.
Another example is using red nail varnish in order to trick audiences in to assuming its blood dripping/spilt at a first glance. We could then reveal that it is simply nail varnish which would be effective. This is similar to examples used in the "Dexter" morning routine.

Present day, London. HOPE, the name of a young teenage girl; a well know face with in the community;with no known enemies HOPE was a popular girl with friends, family and others. She was achieving above average in her academics and had won many awards for her dancing. Life seems great in Hope's perspective, until one night of a distressing event... we first meet HOPE as she is devising plans in her room; these plans where to isolate one girl, VELNA her best friend before the events which destroyed HOPE'S life. She plans and depicts to cause her pain and grief like her own, by killing VELNA'S friends and loved ones. Gruesome murders take place, all victims from VELNA's life, she becomes more isolated, more panicked from what is happening all round her. no clues, no evidence to who has carried out these attacks the only link is VELNA.
Target Audience
The film may appeal to those aged between 15 to 29 years of age, both male and female. The reason for this assumption is that the storyline is based upon a teenage group who deal with issues which relate to teenage life such as popularity within school, relationships and friendship. It could also interest those who study film in further education or as a hobby, as it deals with many issues relating to adolescence. Furthermore those who enjoy the thrill of a slasher movie may be interested in the movie, but due to the teenage appeal of being able to relate with characters it is likely that older audiences may not be impressed by the violence, bad language and sexual references. On the other hand it is possible that the movie may appeal to a slightly older age group, as they may feel a sense of nostalgia due to experiencing the 1980’s slasher movies such as: Halloween, Scream etc. It is also clear that this film is inappropriate for young children and the elderly generation of people due to the themes it presents.
The film may have difficulties reaching box office standards due to it being an independent movie, meaning the film has been made on a very low budget and no well known actors or settings have been used. Furthermore, British movies are generally less successful than American movies. These reasons lead to the conclusion that the movie will not bring in audiences as well as other movies.
The film Se7en has a similar theme to the film HOPE, so we believe our target audience should follow a similar pattern. This backs up our idea about who the film may appeal to. We can see on average that the movie Se7en appealed mainly to those aged between 15-29 and also on average adults up to the age of 45 also found the movie satisfying.

American Psycho Opening
This is the opening sequence to american psycho which is a horror movie with mundane activities which make him seem less like a killer and increasingly ordinary. This does not allow the viewer to identify him as the killer just a male that takes pride upon his appearance. This leads to the viewer asking themselves questions.
