Audience:
Who is your audience? Be very detailed; age, gender, social status, psychographic etc. Use the
Audience Classifications PowerPoint on Blackboard to help you develop this section.
Why would your project appeal to this person? Discuss each audience element in relation to
content (why would your product appeal to the age group? Why would your product appeal to the
gender? Etc.)
My target audience for my short film is going to be a younger audience, it will be aimed to all
genders who are interested in the horror genre. The age range will be 15-20 an I will mainly aim for
adolescent audiences including alcohol and violence.
Rationale (approx. 100 words)
Review your progress throughout the year- what skills and knowledge have you acquired?
How has the subjects you have studied this year informed your choice for this project?
What have you studied and how will it have a direct impact upon your project?
This project we have been doing I have learnt several skills and techniques within film production,
we have been taught how to use several different shots and to concentrate on what is seen on
screen to create a certain effect or emotion. I have also included editing techniques and effects to
make my film more professional interesting and fit my genre better.
Project Concept (approx. 200 words)
What is the concept for your project and what are you going to make?
What research will you need to conduct and how will it help you make your project/
Act 1 The first act starts with the two protagonists finding a small building in the woods
whilst out drinking, however inside they find a clock and being drunk decide to smash it
which then leads on to a figure appearing due to there actions.
Act 2 the second scene is the two running from this figure as it begins to chase them with
a weapon, jumping between the characters whilst making it look like there being chased,
however during this scene one of the two boys disappear.
Act 3 The last scene shows the last protagonist making it to the car but in panic can not
open the door dropping the keys, when bending over to grab them I want to build it up to
be a jump scare reviling the figure, and then finally ending the film in a canned angle with
the boy either being dragged across the camera out of shot, or with the figure dragging the
boy to the house in the back ground.
Production Techniques (approx. 150 words)
What specialist techniques do you need to consider? (e.g. green screen, Steadicam, post-
production, sound, etc)
Does this require any specialist equipment/training/demos?
I will include a caned angle shot as well as including different long and medium shots to create a
creepy effect and to show what’s happening more, I am also including several sound effects I will
include in post production
Evaluation (approx. 50 words)
How do you plan to evaluate the work? Reference conducting on-going evaluation and your final
self-reflection, analysing your work and its outcomes.
I am going to evaluate my own work by comparing it to other products and seeing what I may
improve and what I can tae from my own in the future. I will also be giving mine to people to watch
and to give me feedback on how it is and what needs to improve.
