Audience for 12 Hours

Our active audience for '12 Hours' is mainly in the bracket of 16-24 yr olds. Our project should appeal to them in a similar way to that of Kidulthood & Skins this is due to it being clearly set around the lives of teens and their actions. Seeing as teens are represented a lot in our film this should be evedent even in the opening 2 minutes. Although it is aimed at 16-24 yr olds we feel the film would be better suited to an 18+ certificate, this is because we would like to achieve and almost gritty feel such as Kidulthood does. Seeing as the certificate would ideally 18+ we think that 16 & 17 yr olds would still watch it as the majority of them wouldn't care about this certificate, this fits in with the theme of rebellion that is evident in our film.

Mid Filming

We started our filming on 5/12/10. Filming has not gone very well, we have a few shots (over the shoulder, close up, medium shots and aerial shots) in and around the house however we havent filmed any of the night time stuff that is going to be done in the next few days. We have all the shots we need that include walter being in the house and in the bed with the girl (Emma) Also we have almost finished the scene where he makes himself some food using crane shots. However we need to so the shots where Joshua gets beaten up which is a night scene.

We filmed Walter (Joshua)  all around the house getting a few still shots of Joshua walking down the coridoor into the shower and then coming back the same way but this time is dressed. Next is the first moving shot of Joshua walking down the stairs . Firstly we see Joshua waking up and there is a clock next to him with the time 11.59, the shots is still for a few seconds and then the alarm goes off for 12:00 and Joshua wakes up walking past the camera into the bathroom. The camera is stationary in this and is at shoulder level. Next the semi diegectic sound of a shower is present and the camera is still in the same place. The mise en scene represents the character Joshua as being normal teenager going through a normal life, the camera is still to represent this.
