(Pre-Production) Treatment feedback analysis
From the feedback I received from the treatment of my film I am now more confidant with the conventions of the film. As I received no negative feedback for the film, I will try to stick closely to the treatment i created for it as, from the feedback I received, the audience seem to be intrigued the originality of the film and interested in how the film will use different forms of technology to create different effects for the audience.
Also, I received positive feedback on the unique storyline of the film, student protests. As a result of this positive feedback, I will try to strongly connote that the film is about student protest in it's opening sequence as this seems to appeal to the audience. For example, I may start the opening sequence with a mise-en-scene of a hectic protest. From the feedback I received, starting with an 'in your face' kind of scene, gets the audience interested in the rest of the film and they want to now what is happening.
The feedback I received, also, said that they liked how I was going to connote contemporary ideas in the film. As a result of this feedback, I will take into account what is going on in today's British working class and lower working class society and perhaps try to add this into my film, as I feel this will help the film fit into the British Social Realism genre nicely.
In regards to the British Social Realism genre, the feedback I received said that the film seems like it will fit into the genre, whilst still giving a new, unique and contemporary idea to the audience.
Overall, as all the feedback I received from treatment was positive, I will try to stick closely to the original ideas i had for the film. I will take into account what the feedback I was left said was most interesting and unique about the film and I will make sure to have these features in my opening sequence.

(Pre-Production) First ideas
Here are some ideas I came up in a brainstorming activity for my film/opening sequence:
- In a closed off flat, where nobody knows his pain. Will he strive for freedom?
- Arron, a 16 year old from East London, has had it with the government and wants to help make a change. But, all actions have consequences.

(Pre-Production) Project Log: Week 4
This week I have paid close attention to the brief given to me, explaining what is needed in my opening sequence. As the brief clearly outlines that the target audience for my British Social Realism film is 16-24 I have tried to come up with themes I could use in my film that would appeal to this age group. For example, One idea I had was to use the theme of growing up and aspirations combined with a working class environment. I thought this was a good idea as this would appeal to the audience the brief wants it to.
I have learnt, this week, that British Social Realism films usually involve many different production companies, as this spread this risk of money loss. Also, production companies, usually, produce the same types of film all the time. Such as, Film 4 usually produce British Social Realism films that appeal to a niche audience - e.g. Four Lions.
From the research I have found this week, I have learnt that I need to pay close attention to the brief given to me as this will help me to understand what is being asked of me and will enable me to create an opening sequence that fits the criteria of a British Social Realism film.
Also, I have learnt that the opening credits in films are very important, especially in British Social Realism films, as they may need to mention all the different companies that help them fund their film. I will take this into account when creating my opening sequence and will make sure to give myself enough time to work on the credits I need to add to my opening sequence.
