Audience Research - AWAY
Audience Research
In order to get an idea of what audience we were appealing to with our psychological thriller short film, we did a questionnaire.
This is our questionnaire we asked our class to fill out:
Media Short Film Questionnaire
In order to get an idea of what audience we were appealing to with our psychological thriller short film, we did a questionnaire.
This is our questionnaire we asked our class to fill out:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Age:
Gender:
1.
What do you
think of our idea?
2.
What did
you find positive?
3. What did you find negative?
4.
Where would
you watch the film?
5.
What do you
think of the characters?
6.
Would it
meet the genre expectations?
The questionnaire made us think about:
1.whether our short film can work?
2.If it could ever be made into a film?3. What our class mates thought of the idea good/bad?
4.If it meets the target audience of 15-30?
5.Finally, if we had included the main parts of the genre; Psychological Thriller
2.If it could ever be made into a film?3. What our class mates thought of the idea good/bad?
4.If it meets the target audience of 15-30?
5.Finally, if we had included the main parts of the genre; Psychological Thriller
Why we chose the target audience to be 15-30 was because younger children would find the concept difficult to grasp and some scenes they may find disturbing.
Overall, we feel the questionnaire helped us to improve our short film idea and personally made me feel much more motivated and proud of our research.

Plan for production
Over the next term me and my team will be beginning the production for our film and completing the ancillary tasks for the film. Along with the various lessons we have during the school week, some out of school time and free periods will also be dedicated to the production of our film 'AWAY'. Listed below is a plan of how it shall be carried out:
Week one
5/11/13 - 10/11/13: Research and Production of film poster (taking photograph of locket, assembling various titles and images together on Adobe PhotoShop) - Individual work
7/11/13: After returning from the media and film trip we will be dedicating 3 hours solely to filming to first scene of Sarah in the office, we are hoping to use one of the staff offices.
The majority of this term will be dedicated to filming and editing, however as 'AWAY' features many scenes at home, a lot of the filming will be done outside of college. Whereas all of the editing for the film will be done in lessons and free periods. In the week beginning 11th November, we will properly begin the filming and editing procedure.
Week two
11/11/13: As one of our team members are on placement this week, we are going to begin editing the piece of filming we did in the office.
12/11/13: We will begin filming the gift and text montages, as we do not need any particular venue for these, nor do we need the team member that is absent who plays Sarah. Any time that is left will be dedicated to editing these parts - we are going to follow a film and edit routine
14/11/13: Editing of the montage that is left to edit. As there are no other scenes we can film without the team member that is absent, we will proceed with our individual film posters for this lesson only.
Week three - seven
AS MUCH OF 'AWAY' REQUIRES FILMING IN HOUSES AND PARKS, WITH CHILD ACTORS IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO FILM THE VARIOUS SCENES IN THE SCHEDULED LESSONS. HOWEVER THE FOUR WEEKS FOLLOWING 18TH NOVEMBER WILL BE DEDICATED SOLELY TO EDITING AND PERFECTING OUR FILM.
UPDATES WILL BE MADE ON OUR BLOG THROUGHOUT THIS TERM OF THE STAGES WE ARE AT IN THE PRODUCTION.
