Hello everybody!

Today my classmates and I have been in La Bodega, which is a music studio located at the center of Jerez de la Frontera, Cadiz. We have had the opportunity to meet a live recording studio professional music. During the visit the music technical explains as the fiction of an studio, we made a tour of the different rooms, and explained the basic components of a recording studio, as the process of recording of a song, the sound and the technology used. Once we learned the theory we had the opportunity to do an internship in which all students participate in groups of four and three and  even one dared to sing alone!. Here you have some photos of the funny moments.

    It have been a really fun activity, we have learned many interesting things in a fun way!

Hope too repet soon!

                                    "STUDY OF LOCATIONS IN FICTION MOVIES"                                

       Today I'm going to do a research about the typical locations that I can find in fiction movies and also the ones we have been used.

                                                  I am analyzing one movie:

                                                         "Edge of tomorrow"

Edge of Tomorrow entirely on location in London, basing the production at Warner Bros Studios Leavesden. The film follows Cruise’s initially hapless spin doctor trapped in a time loop in the middle of a brutal alien invasion.

Edge of Tomorrow became the first production to film at Leavesden following Warner Bros’ major refurbishment of the site.
  

Places where the film has been recording:

Trafalgar Square, St James's, London, England, UK

Leavesden Studios, Leavesden, Hertfordshire, England, UK

Warner Bros Studios, Leavesden, Hertfordshire, England, UK

Barton Stacey, Hampshire, UK

Elstree Studios, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, England, UK

Saunton Sands, Devon, England, UK

(Beach invasion)

England, UK

UK

Heathrow Airport, London, England, UK

(outdoor filming)

LOCATIONS OF MY MOVIE:

After analyzing this movie my team and I have been working pretty hard in order to decide the places where we are going to record.. I think thses places are perfect for our fiction movie because it gives mystery and action to our movie.

The locations are  going to be in two different places. Between the beach and a pinewood of el Puerto de Santa María because we are going to join two different experiences.

These are the places where we are going to film our movie

                             TARGET AUDIENCE INVESTIGATION

WHICH KIND OF PEOPLE LIKE FICTION MOVIES?

I think fiction movies are usually seen by young people because of  their immaturity and lack of knowledge but also to those people that like to see imposible things happened at the cinema, maybe they can transported to places that are not real and that makes them feeling well.

                        EXAMPLES OF TARGET AUDIENCES FICTION MOVIES

                                           "Twilight"

The target audiences age is a range  from 12-30.

This is due to the genre of fantasy and the Disney actor Taylor.The age start from 12 as the film is rated a 12.

TARGET AUDIENCE FOR OUR MOVIE

Finally after making some research on typical kind of audiences who likes fiction movies, we have decided that our fiction film is adapted to all types of audiences but especially for those people up to 13 years. 

We have decided this because all types of movies that I have been analysing in terms of audience are for all types of publics.

WORKING ON TITLES:

I think there is no movie without a good title.

I have spent some lessons analyzing different film fiction opening scenes to investigate on titles on fiction movies. 

These are some of the movies that I took into consideration:

In these movies we can see that they always use white fonts and black backgrounds. 

We as a group think that we will be using similar kind of fonts and backgrounds in order to make our titles more attractive.

DECIDING OUR TITLE

We have been working in class about our tittle for the movie. 

It's have been a difficult job deciding it because each member of the group wanted a name and we didn't agree with each other.

But finally we decided that our tittle is going to be   THE WOODLAND MYSTERY............... because our movie will be related to fiction and terror.
