Long Term Planning Schedule

January 14Th 2011 is our new deadline, this will give me more time to fine tune each aspect of my blog, poster, magazine cover and teaser trailer.

Audience Research: Questionnaire

Audience Research: Questionnaire Results

• This shows me I should spend more money on the Teaser trailer when advertising my film.
  

• Release date, the film star and the main image is something I will take into careful consideration when producting my film poster making sure it will appeal to my target audience.

• Music and narrative are shown to be the most important thing to engage my audience this contrasts against my product research of teaser trailers as the narrative wasn't always shown to keep intrigue.
  

• Teen comedy and action/adventure are the most popular.
• Teen comedy would be the direction I would like to take seeing as, in one of the other questions from my audience research, I found out for the target audience I am aiming for which is 13-17 years old they can easily relate to teen comedies and they find them interesting.

Product Research: Trailer 4

500 Hundred Days Of Summer

• Like other teaser trailer's, the distribution/production company is placed right at the start.
• The name of the film is used to give the audience a clue about the narrative of the film.
• "Coming soon" at the end of the trailer, leaves the audience intrigued.
• Establishing shot at the beginning introducting the two main characters.

• Camera angle: Wide shots shown of a range of different places. Throughout the whole teaser trailer the camera follows the two main characters displaying there relationship and how it changes.
• Close ups again to show the different emotion felt by each character.
• Sound: Non diegetic sound of voice over, sharing the basic ideas of the plot.
• A well known song to gain the target audience of 15- 21 years old attention. One main dramatic song to connote the different emotions in this film.
• Editing: Quick cuts of about 3 seconds to establish a story and see how it changes in the next clip. Gives an uncertain feeling (ups and downs of emotions).
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Product Research: Trailer 3

Charlie Bartlett:

• An American Comedy drama which is presented by the setting and the accents of the characters.
• MGM - distribution company - it's an independent film.
• "Charlie Bartlett" - name of the film gives away the main character, and that he is going to be the stereotypical hero in the film, creating problems which will later be solved.
• No specific date - "this February" gives the audience enough information to keep them intrigued.
• Camera angle- Establishing shot of hall shows the main character is upper/middle class.
• Mid-shots used mostly throughout the trailer, allows the viewer to see the setting and how the characters act within it.
• Sound: Introduction to main character through diegetic sound of other characters dialogue indicating he is well known and even popular.
• The non diegetic music being quieter than the diegetic sound changes to give the effect of trouble and problems arising (drums)
• The diegetic sound is what links the scenes together this helps the audience to keep track of the narrative which primarily focuses on 'Charlie Bartlett' and his witty humour.
• Editing:Quick paced cuts from one scene to the next, displaying the stages of events in his life which again keeps the audience engaged.
  
  
  

Product Research: Trailer 2

The Inbetweeners:

• Location of the school is displayed from the outset giving an indication of what programme is being advertised.
• Editing - pace changes throughout to fit the scene, the slow motion editing of walking is something that is commonly used in 'teen movie's', and is something useful to use in my 'teen movie' teaser trailer.
• Music - changes three times to fit the editing and atmosphere of the trailer. Voice over by the main character "Will" of "coming soon, new series of Inbetweeners" targeted at past fans of the British comedic drama.
• Camera angle - Birds eye view of the car which is well known to "The Inbetweeners" fans, typical "cool guy" theme of rap music entwined with slow motion editing of walking.
• The tracking shot of the four main "Inbetweeners" shows they have small connection to other past characters throughout this intrigues the audience of what storyline are going to be presented.
• The audience soon realises that "The Inbetweeners" aren't the stereotypical 'cool guys' however, that's what there aiming for.
