Evaluation.

We used the song ‘Teenagers’ by My Chemical Romance to add more effect to our video, we did this because it’s the type of music are age listen to and our common with also the actors we used were the same age which appealed more to our age group. The target age group was 14-25 the characters are in this demographic range. The title and lyrics link with the demographic range. We used two different types of social group we represented geeks and chavs and we showed the different strongly between the colour.
e.g. for the geek we used bright colours. Green and blue these colours signify fun and bright colours. Also the colour blue can signify worry where this suggests are geek is worried about fitting in.
for the chavs we used the colours black and grey these colours signify dull and horror. We did this so it suggests people will be scared of them and have fear over them. We dressed the chavs in trackies and drugs and the geek wore glasses we did this because this is out stereotype of chavs and geeks.
The original location that we intended to film at was Guilsbouorgh School, this was because teenagers spend most of their time in school and socialize with friends and we could record a good clip of how they act in school and are with there friends. We changed location because it was convenient and it fitted the criteria of our video on teenage rebellion.
We used different colours in order to show the contrast between characters. The colours black and gray were used to dress the chav and the colours bright blue and bright green were used to dress the geek. The reasons why we chose these colours was because gray symbolizes dullness and black symbolizes horror and fear this is reflected on their bad attitude and dark mood. All the chavs wore the same clothing which reflected their stereotype. The geek wears mismatched clothing which shows she is not fashion conscience and is a social outcast but throughout the film you see her give into peer pressure.

Good parts of the video were the filming was not time consuming, and this was very helpful as it meant we could spend more time on the editing and adding effects. I think this improved our video and helped us achieve more.
Parts that we could of improved on, was delegation and decisions. We over came this by cooperation and took turns to film and put ideas out. Next time around I would put more effort into planning and preparation to help our decisions. If I were to redo the video I would write a list of all the shots and angles needed to be used in our filming and tick off when we added them into our film. I would do this to add more effect into our film.
I recorded the high angle shot of when Lauren (geek) was attempting to take the drugs I zoomed into to draw more effect. Also I filmed the pan shot of the characters in bed, I had to re-record this shot a few times before it was steady enough, also the 180` shot draw more effect and movement.
Throughout this project I developed new technical skills and the ability to work within a group. Next time round I know what to do and the preparation I need to use to help me.
