Target Audience of Post Apocalyptic Films
Target Audience The target audience for the Post-Apocalyptic Horror genre is usually targeted to older teens and adults (18-44) as its content is seen to be more appealing to this specific demographic. This specific genre’s style of dark themes and violence also is targeted more to the male gender thus these types of films use these themes and conventions to make it more appealing. Due to scenes of violence, Post-Apocalyptic films such as 28 Days Later and Dawn Of The Dead are not intended for a younger audience but people of this demographic find it more enjoyable and entertaining to watch
Web Pages in Film
Why do films have their own website page?
They do this to display many key features of the film. For example: what the characters are like, the props used and the basic information about the film. they do this to promote the film which helps to engage the audience in to watching the movie. this effect will increase profits rates and will get people talking about the film. for example star wars rogue one has there own website and displays what all characters are about very briefly and has a poster on the film.

Sounds in my film
Non diegetic
Non diegetic sounds Are sounds that the character in the scene could not hear. for example a musical sound track or a voice over etc. non diegetic music sets the scene and time period as well as the atmosphere. a voice can also allow the audience to hear someone's thoughts and empathise them.
Internal diegetic
This is similar the pointy stated about the non diegetic. Its could be about hearing someone's thoughts' as a voice over.
Diegetic sounds
Diegetic sounds are sounds that you can hear as if you was in the scene with the character. this includes words the characters say, background noises like birds or the sea and traffic/ crowd noise and even, music if it was heard by the character at a club or on television.
Props within our film
A gas mask will be used on the main character to relate to the disease spread around the locations. this will be used to help in survive and is essential gear for him to wear.
we have planed for the antagonist in the film to capture the main character wearing the gas mask, and instead of killing him straight away, he rip's of the gas mask which will portray torture.
Rubbish will highlight the poor health/ uncleanliness and distress the characters are going through. it will aslo show that the charcters are scavangers and they crave more basic goods like food and water.Risk Assessment for my film
Risk Assessment:
- We had to be cautious whilst filming in the concrete structure as it had many sharp pieces of wood, and waste that could of lead to cuts, or splinters.
- The location we are filming in, the surface is very wet, so we must take care when carrying equipment outdoors to not slip over
- We had to be very careful as we had to cross many rivers/streams to get to this location, and also had to travel down many embankments and loose rocks, which may of lead to injuries.
- Weather: it could rain. We have to protect the equipment by putting them in their cases and putting them in the backpack to prevent any damage.
- Sharp branches on the trees. Snap any off that are in the way to prevent getting hurt or damaging equipment.
- Some areas has barbed wire, so we had to be careful not to cut ourselves on it.

Font ideas in my film
Specific fonts used in films have more importance then some may think. A font can represent or be used in order to create a sense of havoc, humour or romance. However in this case for the opening scene of my post apocalyptic film, the font must match the genre.
This can consist of a dark, and dull font with perhaps a sharp; jagged edging to show that danger is near or danger will be coming. My peer has also suggested that an effect that can be used when showing the title is blood dripping.
Foley Artist
Who was Foley?
Jack Foley was the man who created this brilliant effect which has been widely used in filming since it began, he had established the basic modern techniques still used today.He is credited with developing a unique method for performing sound effects live and in time with the picture during a film's post production. then this audio was edited over the top of a video. This was by getting people to almost re-act a scene from a film.
What is a Foley artist?
What is the importance/ why is it needed
A Foley artist is the production of common sound effects that are added to a video, film, and TV shows to improve audio quality. These reproduced sounds can be anything from the swishing of clothing and footsteps to squeaky doors and breaking glass.
What is the importance/ why is it needed
Its helps to enhance the sounds effects in to the film. Without this all sound effects would be very quite and hollow, meaning its not as effective towards the audience. For example gun shots and breaking glass would be faint. For example in a horror, action or post apocalyptic film, the tension wouldn't be built as high.

A hammer will connote danger and death. this will be juxtaposed with the antagonist to build tension
