CCR 2
Our demographic target audience are male from the age group of 17 - 35 , we target them ,because we think that they might enjoy our movie because it has many violence which are wanted by people from people in the age range , We also target south east asian people , because our movie actors is from Indonesia which is southeast asia so we would want to target people from southeast asia . and we also target western people , because our action movie are mostly inspired from western movies so it could attract many western people to watch the movie.
Our psychographic target audiences are motorcycle riders , thrill seekers and people who like fighting and revenge , we target motorcycle rider , because in our movie the main character were shown using motorcycle so this could help attract motorcycle riders and we add brutal fighting scene which would attract people who like fighting and thrill seekers , our movie is also about a person seeking for revenge so this would attract people that like to see someone taking revenge.
Our age rating is 17 ++ because our movie has many violence and blood and brutal fight scenes which is not necessary for people below 17 to watch
Our distribution company is lionsgate we chose this distribution company because this company have release many action movie which is successful in the film industry like John Wick . and we will promote our movie through advertisement in social medias like instagram and youtube , we use this because many people use youtube and instagram so many people could see our ad and maybe interested to watch our movie .
Audience could watch our movie from cinema and streaming sites such as netflix .

Dominant Reading
Dominant Reading
Group:
This is just a quick catch up session that we did as a group. We thought it would be a good idea to check what our intended dominant readings are for the different things being represented in our film opening. We have recently learned about Stuart Hall’s Reception Theory with Dominant, Oppositional, and Negotiated readings. For our media text to be successful, we want to make sure the message is clear and able to reach the correct audience. Below we will discuss our intended readings, and compare them to the intended readings we made in our Statement of Intent earlier on in the project. It will be interesting to see if our ideas have evolved.
List | Our intended Dominant Reading | How we will achieve this with technical elements | |
Individuals | Boss Candra | Powerful in terms of strength and influence Dedicated smart strong | Mise en scene: Suit, Luxurious Chair, Menacing smile |
Social group | Criminals | We wish to represent criminals and be evil and unjust. | This will be primarily shown with the bosses fighting style being dirty and unfair. |
Places | Boss office Road | We want to show the bosses main “office” to be a place fit for a king and extravagant a reflection of a his power and influence | As we can see here this is done with dark moody lighting. The dark wooden floor gives a rustic and luxurious feel. The boss also sits in a central position showing power within the room. The room is also a bit dirty and industrial with exposed piping this shows that he may be a careless person. |
Events | Fighting Seduction | The fighting in this opening will be intense and over the top which we hope will add to the comedic | ~ Abusing multiple cuts (make sure it has enough time frame for the audience to understand) ~ Gay Element for seduction |
Overall Message | We wanted to show that evil or bad may be good in the short time but good will prevail in the long run. |
How are these similar or different from your Statement of Intent?
The bosses character traits are similar
We want to reduce the vitality and amount of guards but we will still use them as comedic value.

screen test : audience feedback
The purpose of a screen test is to gain audience feedback about our work and see if their are any improvements that can be made. We decided to use Google for to create a survey to share with our audience because it's easy to use make a forms from and has all the features we need such us uploading videos, and a variety of question types. Here are our questions:
1.Which of these options do you think fits our movie title the best?
2.What do you think is missing in our movie that could be added or improved?
3.Which of these typefaces/fonts would fit the title?
4.How well do you think we portrayed the characters in this movie and how can we improve the representation of our movie?
5.Optional : what song or score would fit our fight scene? (Please Mention name of song and artist.)
We chose these questions because these were the areas that we needed the most feedback and outside opinions for We showed the clip to 4 members of our target audience to ensure that the feedback we receive is appropriate. Finding people for the screen test was easy/difficult because well four people is not alot of people some may not be motivated to watch a short film then answer questions which sometimes aren't multiple choice. Here is the draft that we showed audiences for the screen test:
Here are the results from the audience feedback:
From the feedback we learned firstly on the negative side we needed to improve our editting which is fair but we hope to soon fix this by using Capcut premium which has more unlocked features which gives us more creative. Also the sound was a bit bad as we didnt have proper mics our sound equipment in the location and our sound effects also need to be improved. Lastly one participants aswell commented about the supar video quality probably due to the use of phones as the lack of light in the location. But on the good side people said our acting was very good and as for the questions about the type font people choose Zenaida and for the title people liked Mark Choi: No Mercy.
We are going to change the use of forms as due to it being online peoples responses were minimal and lacked more information. I think next time well use focus groups instead as it allows for more indepth data collection which can give us more feedback and opinions.
This screen test was a useful part of our process because it gaves us feeback to help us improve and gave us a second opinio which helped settle decisions for us.
Reflection: This screentest helps me to know what we should fix in our film intro and what to improve , also we know what title and font are the best for our film opening , this would helps us to maximize our intro .

organising our footage
This blog post consist of how we organize our footage after shooting.
The apps we used to edit are :
we used this app as a way to control the drone and transfer footage from our drone. A problem I encounter was due to connection issues controlling the drone would be hard as there was a noticable delay which made it hard to do micro adjustments and keep the drone in a good position. To solve this problem I had 2 solutions: A I would get a controller and be able to use DJI’s proprietary wireless solution instead of wifi from my phone to the drone but that would include buying more expensive equipment. So instead I trusted the drones ability to fly and track targets autonimously but this meant I had no control over the drones actions. Aswell during the transfer of the footage the drone would often disconnect from the phone which meant it had to be reconnected to continue the download, again the only solution to this was to get a remote as it could transfer faster and would be in the form of an SD.
Google drive:
Google drive is very useful to store videos as it keeps the resolution of the video the same unlike other apps which might reduce the quality of the video , this helps us to organise which clips do we use and which typeface and fonts we use we put it in the google drive , however the time needed to upload the video into the drive is a lot , which makes it longer to share videos through the files , our solution is to use other device first so that we could use time as effective as possible
whatsapp :

Whatsapp really helps us communicate long distance , also we are used to using this app which makes us easier to communicate with each other , also this app has a call feature which helps us communicate through call so that we can have better communication between each member of the group , however when sending videos or photos through whatsapp the quality of the video or photo would be bad , so we use google drive to share the videos and other important things related to our project .
Also most of the footage is in maha's phone , because we use his phone to record and edit the video so most of the footage is on his phone.
reflection : These apps helps us a lot on doing the opening scene , because it helps us to edit and transfer video through one another , and this helps us communicate to send feedback and ideas for the opening scene .
