Q4: Profile on China (my friend not the country)!

• This is China Adejomi
• She is 16 years old and a typical member of my horror movie target audience
• Her favourite films are Nightmare on Elm street, sixth sense, horrible bosses, Shrek 2, the list is endless...    http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/a-nightmare-on-elm-street/trailer
• China goes on holiday frequently to Barbados with family and recently went to see her father in Canada.
• She loves Frosties breakfast cereal, since she was a child she has loved this cereal and never has any other one
• Her Favourite drink is Ribena as it makes her hyperactive, she says its one of her five a day but i don't believe her!
• China is usually driven by her mother in the car but when her mother can't drive her she takes the bus. She never takes the tube as she has a phobia of the underground. 
• She lives with her Mother Kim and her baby brother Jordan. They live in a three bedroom house in Norwood and have never lived anywhere else.
• China's favourite TV shows are Eastenders, the fresh prince of Bel air, the simpsons, the big bang theory and 90210. 
• She goes to a restaurant her uncle owns called Crunch which serves African food. China loves going to Creams in Norbury with her friends too so they can have the ultimate dessert experience!
• China says her ideal partner would be someone who gets along with her family because she is a family person. She would also like someone with a goal in life and at the same time for him to be humble. 

China is our target audience as she likes horror movies and is very intrested in gore. If this movie was to be shown at her local cinema she would watch it and take her friends too as she is a very sociable person, therefore this will result in a wider audience and help us gain more profit.

Pinewood film studios has been refused permission to develop one of its sites, blocking plans to create almost 1,000 new jobs.

Communities secretary Eric Pickles has denied Pinewood studios planning permission to build a giant city centre film set in the Buckinghamshire countryside.
The £200m development would have been built next to the existing studios, visited just last week by Prime Minister David Cameron.
Harry Potter and James Bond are among the blockbusters to have been shot there.
Named Project Pinewood, the expansion was due to have dual usage, also providing up to 1,400 new homes. People would live in the buildings when they were not being used for filming.

David Cameron visited Pinewood studios earlier in the month

The owners of the studios said the development would have provided a big boost to the UK film industry and economy.
This included the creation of 960 new jobs by 2022, while 420 of the new homes would have been affordable housing.
Pinewood also claimed the proposals would have significantly reduced the costs of filming on location for the UK film industry. It would have incorporated 'streetscape' sets of film hotspots such as Venice, Amsterdam, Prague and New York

BabyScissors: First feedback

In our lesson we presented our horror movie opening to the class, of what we had edited so far. From this we got feedback from the class on our opening, they told me and my partner Faban what was good about our opening and what needed to be added or improved to make it seem as real as possible. These are the few comments we received:

• Mise-en scene was used very well throughout
• The acting was very believable
• The titles matched the theme of our opening
• Most of the sound is very clear
• There is a variety of shot types
• The sequence is very good as the audience can understand the storyline

However, the class also pointed out that we need to:

• Make the main title (the name of the movie) more bold so it can stand out
• Make sure that the scenes flow and they are not jumpy

Overall, we received very positive comments and we also like to hear what we need to improve on so that we can make the opening believable, like a real movie.
