Our film opening was based on football violence, the conventions you tend to see in football violence films are: Fighting, arguments, brawls, drugs and ‘casual’ clothes. In our opening we tried to meet and match the typical conventions found in a football hooligan film. 

We tried hard not to break any of the conventions too. In football violence films we see lots of ‘casual’ clothes. We’ve tried to expand this convention by using designer clothes, for example one of our actors was wearing an ellesse jacket, ellesse is an old brand that a majority of hooligans used to wear in the 1980’s and in recent times has started to come back into fashion.

Our production represents ‘hooligans’ and ‘casuals’ well. Everything from the clothing to the way they walk and what they are doing. Football hooliganism normally involves conflict between gangs, often known as football formed for the specific purpose of intimidating and physically attacking supporters of other teams. 

Other terms commonly used in connection with hooligan firms include. Certain clubs have long-standing rivalries with other clubs and hooliganism associated with matches between them (sometimes called local derbies), is likely to be more severe. In our opening we see a group of 3 boys walking; they see a lad from another firm walking along the other side of the road. We see a dispute from the different fans. This is a convention that we usually see in football hooligan films and we have matched it.

Football violence is a niche market in the film industry; there aren’t many films in this genre available to watch. The institution that would make the film would be Warp films; they’ve made the following films:

This is England, Four lions.

The distributor for our film would most likely be supermarkets to sell on DVD’s because the market is so niche that not many people would see it in the cinema at the time of viewing.

To get information on our target audience we looked at our questionnaire to get a brief idea on who we wanted to base our film on. The results from our questionnaire showed that the majority of people that took part where males between the age of 14 – 18. With young males taking an interest with football and violence we thought that aiming at that social group would be the most beneficial thing for our movie.

We found that attracting our target audience was relatively simple and easy. Because the football violence market is so small, people that watch these types of movies will watch them for sure.

Making the film opening I’ve learnt how to use the camera and other additional things. The aperture on the camera affects the lighting within the camera and what the camera focuses on; I’ve learnt how to change these features. To edit we used adobe premiere pro and adobe after effects, premier pro is used to put all the clips together and after effects is used for titles.

In our preliminary task we used a variety of half decent angles, nothing special. With research into the best angles to use we combined both research and our preliminary task to create well shot angles which we used in our main task. We also used this combination of researching and using our preliminary task to have the best end product and we did this also with editing and titles. The editing in our preliminary task was very jumpy when we put it together. Using the experience from our preliminary task we made sure we didn’t make the same mistake again.

  

Questionnaire Evaluation

Evaluation of Questionnaire

Question 1 shows us that our target market is clearly males but must also account for a small amount of female viewers

 Question 2 shows that the average age of the target audience is 14-18 but with some viewers in the age bands above and below, this is good as it would fit the films probable age rating.

 

 

Question 3 shows that fans of the genre would generally rate violence and thrillers a 4/5 which means on average the thoroughly enjoy the genre and is generally a genre that everyone enjoys.

Question 4 shows what part of the film the audience enjoys most and in this case it is clear that their favourite part of the film is the build up to the fight

 
Question 5 gets the audiences opinion on where they would expect a film of this sub genre to be set and they answer was in a town, which works well for the opening and then eventually move near a stadium if the film was to carry on.

Unsurprisingly the most chosen answer when asked what you would expect to see in a football hooligan film was violence.

Question 7 was used to find out what people wouldn't expect to see in this sub genre and find out what we needed to stay away from in the intro.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Question 8 and 9 were more about how and how often people watch films and not to do with how and what we should put in the intro. We found out from these questions that the most people watch these films a month is once and they watch it on a variety of platforms raging from Online, Cinema and subscription services. However not many people watch films on television now.
