Locations

Today I spent the day walking around Newcastle city centre and Gateshead town centre taking pictures of all the locations I have contacted that could potentially feature in our film. Having pictures of the locations has really helped me to create the mise-en-scene of the film within my mind and has massively helped me when drawing the storyboards.

Actors

In order to help with the planning and preparation process I decided it would be best to have a list of the different characters I will need to feature in my film. This will help with the casting process.

Background Music Ideas

Mu short film is going to rely heavily on the background music to help create the mood as well as helping to keep the audience engaged. I felt it was important to spend a considerable amount of time researching relevant songs. I decided to feature two songs in my film in order to represent two different moods, the first song I decided should be Happy upbeat modern song in order to help portray the character as a normal teenage girl, the second song I decided should be slower sadder song to represent the change in mood/ heartbreak the character is having to cope with. After listening to multiple songs I have managed to narrow it down to three songs each.

Sad songs

• How Long Will I Love You - Ellie Goulding
 
• Skinny Love - Birdie
   
• Hopeless Wanderer - Mumford and Sons
 
Happy songs



•  Changing - Sigma ft. Paloma Faith
   
•  Use somebody - Kings of Leon


• The Saturdays - If This Is Love

Article Flat Plan

After analysing the reviews featured in real film magazines I have decided to base my review on the ones featured in Little White Lies. I made this decision as I thought these reviews looked more modern and professional. I have devised a flat plan of what I would like my film review to look like.  

 

Article Analysis

For the second part of my ancillary task I am required to produce a review for my film. Because of this I have researched and took examples of real film reviews that feature in well-known film magazines. Unlike the film posters the film reviews I looked at typically had the same conventions present however. in most cases the layout was completely different, this meant that the decision of what layout to use was completely down to personal preference.

Poster Flat PLan

After analysing authentic film posters and learning of the typical conventions used I have devised a flat plan of what I would like my poster to look like. This is going to help me massively during the production stage of my poster.

Poster Anaylsis

For my ancillary task I am required to produce a poster that will advertise my short film. In order to ensure that my poster looks as authentic as possible I have analysed 4 poster that advertise high profile films of the romance genre. I have learnt quite a bit from analysing the posters such as common conventions and the typical layout of a romance genre film poster.

Common Conventions of a Love Story

As my short film is a love story I thought it would be a good idea to research common conventions of a love story. This has really helped with my planning stage as as a result of it I am planning to make small changed to my initial thoughts in order to keep the audience engaged more.

Pitch

I have created a pitch for my short film which brefily outlines my target audience, the main characters and the storyline.

Questionaire Results Anaylsis

After presenting my questionnaire results in pie charts I decided it would be best to then decided on what my actions were going to be as a result of distributing a questionnaire. I have now made my finial decisions on what my genre will be, who my target audience are and what the basic storyline is for my film. In the next few days I am planning on creating a pitch to state all of my decisions.

Questionnaire Results

I have created A prezi to present the results I received from my questionnaire. The feedback I have received has really helped me with my planning process as I am now aware of my target audience, what genre they'd prefer and what time of storyline they'd most enjoy.


 

Responses to Questionnaire

My questionnaire was completed by 50 people who were a range of ages and were a mix of both genders. Here is two copies of the type of responses I got from the questionnaire. One copy is from a male and the other is from a female. 

 

 

Questionnaire

I have devised a questionnaire as part of my planning process which is available to fill out online. I I am also planning on printing out the questionnaire and handing it out to a variety of people of all ages and gender. Once I have collected all of the results I will post it on my blog. The purpose of the questionnaire is to find out vital information such as who my target audience are, what they want to see, what music they like etc.
