My Audience

I have all ways been an avid supporter of the James Bond films and the way that they are able to take you away from the reality of the life that you have become used to living and escape into the world of spy's and imagination, I'm fairly sure that every male, man or boy, inside secretly wishes that their life could become as exciting and action packed as the life of James bond. While that life style may mostly appear to men, the possibility that one day we might defy logic and somehow by freak accident of divine plan obtain a superpower! There can't be one person who has never thought about what life must be like if either everyone had a power in one form or another. The budget that I had access to however didn't really stretch to cover the hiring of wires and cranes so I stuck with half the population of the world, meaning men. I thought that it would have been relatively easier to portray a spy over that of a superhero.

When I was younger and even still now I love watching James Bond films, the most recent being Skyfall unless you are reading this after a new one has been relieved in which case it isn’t the most recent James Bond film but that’s irrelevant, the target audience for Skyfall is male 16-40 so a fairly broad range and I decided to try and follow in the footsteps of 007. I too have gone for the same market as most spy films.

Soundtrack research

From the sound track I wanted a few different features that would come together to lift the feeling of the whole piece. I also needed different tracks to change the mood throughout the opening as I don't want the audience to only be thinking in one frame of mind.

In the opening two minutes I use 4 different songs to create varied atmosphere:

1. Ring tone.
The Phone is the very first thing to be shown and I wanted people to stop what they were doing (talking, rustling packets and being on their phone) in the audience and be paying attention to my film.
The music is loud and pounding and when we see that it is a ring tone we see that our character while he may seem serious dose have a fun side as this is quite a bold ring tone for anyone.

2. Running away song.
Tim is having to run away from Sam, meanwhile Alex is on the phone to Jack laying down hints as to what is and what will happen in the scene that we are also being shown.
This music is fast pace and uplifting as we will on Tim to run faster all the while knowing that he wont make it.

3. Fight scene.
The music changes once Tim gets shot as he is no longer running he has decided to face Sam and take him head on. The music also builds up to a question upon the relationship of the main character and his wife, I left this as an enigma to be answered later in the film.
This music is jumpy and gradually building to a tense moment also it fits the thrill of the fight with it quickening your breathing and heart rate to follow the music.

4. Final title music.
The last music is to bide time until the title is presented as the film seemed empty with no music over laying the end, I chose this piece as it was calming with its steady beat, predominately symbols are used and it fits with looking on at the body of Tim and then fading to the title Defenestration

Most of my music came from ROYALTY FREE MUSIC by BENSOUND

Certificate rating PG

PG stands for Parental Guidance. This means a film is designed for general viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. A PG film is typiaclly targeted at a typical eight years or older ckild. Parents should consider whether the content may upset their own child.

PG films are able to touch apon almost every contraversial subject they are still told to keep it light and that they must be shown to condemn the act in some way in order for it to warrent a raiting PG. Children are still impressionable apon in their ideas of right and wrong.

Films that are rated U and have done well at the box office:
  Alice in Wonderland
  Bolt
  Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
  Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
  Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Certificate rating U

The U symbol stands for Universal. A U film are designed for audiences aged four years and over. However, different children are upset by different things; it is impossible to predict what might upset a particular child. With children being cared for and kept away from things that could passably scare them, kids are being scared by just the simplest of things thing. In the recent shaun the sheep film shaun and his friend are put into an animal jail with a whole mannor of scary inmates, this to some children is the most scary thing that could happen to their belovid Tv character, on the other hand a child could find this halearious ase they watch them attampt an escape.

Films with the raiting U should have no significant issues in terms of discrimination, drugs, imitable behaviour, language, nudity, sex, threat or violence. This is compleatly understandable when thought of the intended audience.

Films that are rated U and have done well at the box office:
  Shrek the Third
  Finding Nemo
  A bugs life
  Flushed away
  Tangled

Certificate rating 12

Films with a 12A and 12 rating contain scenes that aren't widely suitable for children aged under 12. No one younger than 12 can see a 12A film in a cinema unless seeing it with an adult.Whereas the 12 rating is used on DVDs as you cant check when people watch the DVD at home if they are over 12 or not.

Films that are rated 12 tend not to show gruesome details in fights and also don't have swearing in them. Film rated at a 12a are forbidden from portraying any homophobic or racial ideas unless they are condemned within the movie. Sexual references are made along with scenes that show a couple disappearing into a bedroom as this doesn't directly tell us what is going on; they could just be going in there to "hug".

Films that are rated 12a and have done well at the box office:
  Guardians of the Galaxy
  Divergent
  Captain America: The Winter Soldier
  Avengers Assemble
  The Dark Knight
