Sand research. Kayla Claire Alex

We have decided to buy some black sand and we are going to do an experiment with dropping it into a glass bowl and filming a CU to give the illusion that the camera is inside the hour glass looking at the final grains of sand falling.

The Man in the suit = Adobe Ming Std L.

I have asked 5 students about what basic fonts is the best. Most of them have chose the Trajan Pro, the second favourite was the  Adobe Ming Std L. Now I will be looking at different fonts on the internet from different film and using Photoshop to make new designs as well.

Audience Feedback

Before we started to film our short 5 minute film, we as a group needed to have audience feedback to see if we can make any improvements on the film before we started filming.  The data that I gathered was from across different classes and a variation of different age groups around Crawley and Hayward's Heath.

These where are results

Audience Names	Male character	Female character	Comments	Overall film idea
Matt H	×		“I think using a male character to play death will work better in a sense of the audience will be more afraid.”	I think using the idea that the old woman is still alive is very clever. However I still think that it needs to be clearer on how you are going to show death.
Gilly H	×		“I would have liked to see women to play the role of death in a women’s point of view. However, I think that using a male will represent death better because he will have a bigger presence.”	I would say that the film is quite sad in a way that someone has died. However, I think that using the women’s memories to show her life is a good way to let the audience know what will happen at the end.
Amy H		×	“I like the idea of a woman playing the character because I think this will surprise the audience of the appearance of death. This could also symbolise that death could be anyone.”	“Overall film idea I would say its interesting contrasting death a human, but also the women is still alive in her head.  If this is shown correctly I think this will be a fantastic film.”
Jack R	×		“The representation of death is to be a male. So I think this would be more suitable to do then having a female playing the character.”	“I think the whole film will be interesting if filmed right. My only concern is how you are going to show death in the film.”
Caitlin K		×	“I think having the female character playing death will give the audience enigma when watching the film. They will be surprise because they think that death would be more of a manly scale”.	I love how it’s based in the nans how’s. This will give more of a sense of realism to the short film.

The results show that more of the audience has preferred us to use a male character in the short film.
