Mood board

I made my mood board with intension to keep the colour scheme all the same and similar to how I want the final product of my film to look, as this is a dull and greyscale colour which fits into the conventions associated with a post apocalyptic movie.

Post apocalyptic target audience

There can be various Audiences for films of this genre as there are many sub-genres that fit into this genre, for example: horror apocalyptic,










































Sci-fi apocalyptic,




































Comedy apocalyptic.






this means that there is many different target audiences that fit into the whole genre that is "post apocalyptic".


One thing that is certain is that youths probably below that age of 14 are not the main aim that films aim these genre's at. this is a the genre is quite dull in its conventions, and will usually contain something that isn't suitable for the viewing of children, for example, swearing, gore, frightening sights, that film companies don't want children, to see.


Another probability is that people of the older generation will not be attracted to films of this genre. This is as they are more usually relaxed and therefore this is something that people from ages 60-80 wouldn't enjoy. The film genre is fairly new and so, the older generation are appealed to films of different genres and would probably be reluctant to go and see a film of this "post apocalyptic" genre.


This leaves me to say that the main target audiences of these types of genre is usually older teens and adults (18-45). This is due to the content being more appealing to this demographic due to the dark themes and violence ,which occurs in almost post apocalyptic films, they are also aimed more at  males due to their nature, and so is more appealing to them.


And from this research I conclude that my main target audience I am going to aim my film opening at is male Teens and adults (18-45).

Planning of film sound

In the first section of my opening there will be slow, panning establishing shot of the 'earth' the show desolation that has occurred. I am planning on incorporating a voice over, to describe the plot and reveal to the audience what has been going on in the shots. for example in this clip from the Shawshank redemption, there is very minimal diegetic sounds an the scene. all the sounds come from Red (Morgan Freeman) giving a voice over to explain the situation.

I will then Move to all the diegetic sounds coming from the shots so that it is believable and maybe add a piece of music quietly in the background to give the shots more depth and create tension. for the final shot music will be the main area of aim, this is to give the shot a feel of achievement as If they have just successfully evaded someone and are now heading home more relaxed. it also make it have a feel of epicness and make the viewers want to carry on watching. for example this opening combines music and diegetic sounds to create effect, and finishes music heavy.
