Creative Risks

When producing a "Teaser Trailer' there are many risks involved and I am not only talking about practical factors such as health and safety but the technical and social factors such as offending people.
In Playtime some of these factors may be incorporated in the images. Some viewers may find this disturbing as they may not agree with the concept of the storyline which is why age rating is needed in order for people underage to not to watch it.
The cost of this is losing some potential viewers of other age ranges and viewers who may find the concept inappropriate.
Benefits of this maybe it builds up suspense for viewers.

Another potential benefit maybe the stereotypical barriers we've broken of a villain, which tends to either be different sex eg. a man or someone of an older age. This may cost us some viewers if they take offence to the concept being based on child cruelty or even see it as setting a bad example, as the villain uses children toys to attack their victims.

Audience Profiling By LNC

User Ratings For "The Crazies"
Above, We have a graph showing the audience that attended the opening week screening and rated (/10) of "The Crazies". From looking at the data, we can see a variety of different members of the audience. Immediately, we can confirm that Males U18 Aare definitely members that dominate the audience. Females were also a main attender of the movie with 7% being under 18 and 7.2% being 45+. This is a surprise for females to be so interested in a thriller movie and we at LNC definitely believe that females will dominate the audience of Playtime as our protagonist is a vindicting, menacing woman seeking revenge.

Women like to see other women in higher positions especially those that are usually posed by males. Ursula Montgomerry will intrigue many viewers and hopefully males also will be interested in viewing what a female killer is capable of.

U18's dominated the audience overall, so we must ensure that our film is rated at an acceptable rating of 15 as some of the content is not suitable for a 12 year old.

LNC's Imaginative Thinking

It was just our luck that the clocks decided to go back an hour the day before our filming session. Unfortunately, this meant that outside got darker a whole hour earlier and so by 5pm, we were in darkness. We tried to grab lighting from nearby cars passing by with their headbeams and brakelights but this was shortlived. It was time for us to take our final shot of Ursula's victim and there was no chance of getting a clear shot of him even with the help of the lamp posts.

Just as we were about to give up on the shot completely, I had the idea of using my phone to take pictures and as the flash begun and ended, we could get a quick clear image of what we needed on the camera. Many pictures were taken but this proved to be a success and we managed to get a perfectly, clear image.

Here are some pictures taken to get a clear shot:

We Finally got our studio session and this is the music that we created.

10/11/10 LNC : In The Studio ( Finally !! )

Coretta and Nickie of LNC are the singers of their sountrack for playtime. Both have not had much experience in the studio and for this reason, the whole atmosphere is a little new to them. :) They are full of excitement and cannot wait to get in the booth. First as a group LNC have to discuss with the professional technician and give him the information he needs to create a soundtrack that matches their criteria. LNC are very specific and watch the music technician work his magic !



The Magic Is Done...Time To Enter The Booth & Sing Along With The Music !
