How close was your final production to the initial ideas that you had? The final production was NOWHERE close to the original idea I had. My original idea was to make stereotypical youtube,short film-style short horror film. My idea then changed to a found haunted tape style of horror video featuring a clown doll and the clown entity attached to it, similar to the tapes in All Hallow's Eve but without the gore. This was due to slight idea changes and premier pro not working for ages.  How appropriate was your final product to your intended target audience?   It  Wasn't  appropriate as it didn't turn out as intended. It wouldn't even be able to be classed as a horror. My target audience originally was for horror fans. But due to technical issues, couldn't introduce the horror element. What contribution did you make to the film (if in a group discuss your technical contributions  e.g.  camerawork, sound  etc , if on your own...

 In the editing process, I added the video files to premiere pro and cut them to the suitable length. Afterwards, I then changed the colour of the video to black and white.  The settings: This was because I wanted it to look like an old "found footage" "haunted tape" style (like the way the tapes on the All Hallow's Eve movie look). Afterwards I then cut random parts of the clip and either deleted them or cut two sections in a row and deleted one of them and copy and pasted the other to give a buffering effect. 

 The place I filmed my video was at my house as thats where the production was set. This was for all of my short film not just parts of it. The only part that included outside (which didn't end up being in the video due to complications already mentioned/mentioned later) was in my front garden when the clown entity was outside, looking in the window but it was still recorded from the camera inside.  The equipment I used was a Cannon camera for filming. For mise-en-scene- wise, what I used was my phone, sfx/ clown makeup (ended up not being in the tester) and my LED lights. I did't bother with excessive natural light due to the time of day and that it was going to be in black and white and was meant to have a dark atmosphere.  The production activity that happened was filming multiple shots and checking lighting. I also checked the shots and audio. Unedited files. Photo of the clown makeup.
