Today our group spoke with our teacher and we discussed our deadline, what we had done so far and what we needed to get finished. So far we’ve completed basic editing of our footage on premier. All that’s left is to add transitions and effects, which we shall be able to have a better grasp on once we’ve added our 1960s influenced music in.
The voices for the soundtrack have been recorded, we’ve chosen a male voice and then to have an accompanying female voice in the chorus. Due to our group refining the soundtrack we decided to take apart the instrumental from the lyrics and edit them separably to our opening scene, we have done this so that the soundtrack is more in keeping with the timing of our opening scene.
All that’s left to do is to finish adding percussion and effects on the computer, then to transfer the file into a file type that we will be able to play as a backing tack for our opening sequence.
Finally titles need to be added into our film opening. Based on our analysis of credits and 60s and 60’s influenced films we will discuss how we shall format our own titles in order to reflect a professional appearance.

Conventions of a DRAMA
Conventions of a DRAMA
A dramatic convention is a
set of rules, which both the
audience and actors are familiar with and which act as a useful way of
quickly signifying the nature of the action or of a character.
Technical conventions
can include lighting, dialogue, monologue, set, costuming and entrances/exits.
We use these dramatic
conventions throughout Cry To Me Cindy to create a love hate relationship
between the audience and the character. The lighting is low key, to accentuate
the gritty teenage lifestyle, and the
make-up is heavily applied to accentuate all the element of being a peer pressured
individual. The costume was designed to represent this character as a spirited
teenager, but the heels infer that she is taking on too much and might not be
ready for what she is about to do. The location was specifically important in
conforming to the conventions of a drama, due to it being the most intimate
place where the character develops outside social areas. This in all signifies
the true nature of the character and signifies her true identity before the façade
is placed.
Distribution companies
There are many distribution companies that would be suitable for distributing our film, such as the following:
Working Title 2
Film Four
Heyday Films
Fox searchlight
Vertigo
BBC Films
The two distribution companies that i feel are best for distributing Cry To Me Cindy, is working title 2 and film four. This is due to the striking films that they have distributed such as slumdog millionaire, This is England, The Inbetweeners, The Iron Lady e.c.t and i feel that these films such as This is England and slumdog millionaire present a hard hitting narrative that the audience can reflect on. I believe Cry To Me Cindy has a hard hitting narrative that the audience can reflect on their culture and actions.
