Research of a teen drama which is one of our
Our film has elements
main themes in our short film and is a key demographic
audience. The main target audience will be teenagers aged
11 to 18 most who might be at school or college who will feel
that this film will relate to them which we want the film to do
in terms of how the characters will communicate to the
audience that we are targeting.
We will watch a number of short films and how mise-en-
scene used in each film, the different ways those characters
in the films act and are portrayed, also how the storyline is
used to attract the target audiences furthermore using
different short films to aid our group in terms of what they
used and how they used it to their advantage such as
attracting the audience and their response to the film as well.
3. Research Film reviews
For our ancillary task we
were told to create a film
poster and film review,
for example looking at
Empire and Total films to
see how they rate films
and offer the word of
mouth to the audience to
go and see new films.
4. Planning Stages
As a group this is how we planned our ideas for the short film.
1. Main target audience- looking at the different ways will get the film across to the
main target audience and how the film will portray different communications towards
the audience.
2.School based and relates to how people feel in terms of their emotional and
passionate feelings, maybe it can relate to a real life situation and may inspire them to
do something right.
3. The relation to the characters and the audience such as getting the point across
through dialogue, body language and camera angles and shots, moreover how these
points will aid us in getting our communication across to the audience.
4.Secondary audience- people who like teen films, buddy movies or a love film (niche
market) looking at different parts of the market not only looking at the main target
audience but also the niche target audience as well.
5.The genres of the film e.g. will it be a basic love film or will we add a more rom-com
feel to the film to expand our target audiences, plus getting their reaction at the end
such as a questionnaire.
6. Organisation of locations, props and soundtrack, and how all these three will aid our
group in terms of getting different types of communication towards the audience
5. Potential Audience and
Demographic
Using different media sites such as Facebook, YouTube and
Twitter to reach out to the demographical audience and get their
views on the film and the script idea and to find out if our movie
appeal to our main audiences and will the niche market find it
interesting enough to go out and watch the movie.
We will also go around our school to ask for peoples options on
the film and our idea, also giving the finish product of the script
of members in the 6th form and other people to read the script
and see what they think about the script and if there is any
changes how as a group can change it and adapt it to the
suitability of the audience.
Moreover at the end of the final product of the film and when
showing it to the audience at the end there will be a
questionnaire and get the comments from the audience who
watch the film and see what they liked about the film and if it a
way related to them.
