A £60 budget is allocated across equipment, props, actors and travel. Production is scheduled in weekly blocks for research, planning, filming, editing and post-production work. Locations include the filmmaker's home for multiple scenes. Contingency planning addresses potential issues like equipment
Sydney Pooleman is planning a short film called "Family First". The target audience is 16-25 year olds, especially females, who are working class or middle class students or part-time workers. Primary research found the audience prefers mindless zombie hoards and values like family in characters. The budget allocates funds for equipment, props, actors, and travel. Locations include 29 Wicston Way for corridor, exterior, car, garden and kitchen scenes. A production schedule spans 9 weeks for research, planning, filming, editing, music, and completion. Contingency planning addresses issues like corrupted memory cards or drained batteries.
The document describes an audio drama concept that takes place in a dark forest, where the protagonist finds an old cassette tape containing recordings from someone who is lost and being chased by a mysterious tall faceless creature. The tape contains logs from the person documenting their increasing fear and desperation as they become more lost and realize they are being stalked by a non-human entity.

Here are some key things I learned from recording in different places:
- Location is extremely important. Noisy environments like near roads make it very difficult to get clean audio recordings without unwanted background noise. Quieter indoor spaces or isolated outdoor areas work much better.
- The type of microphone matters. More professional mics are better at isolating the voice/sound and reducing background noise. Consumer mics often pick up too much ambient sound.
- Soundproofing helps. Recording in a makeshift booth or closet can block out echoes and external sounds. Hanging blankets can act as soundproofing in a pinch.
- Test your setup beforehand. Do a test recording to check for any issues before your actual recording

Jonathan Saward is creating a body of work that experiments with factual filmmaking styles and pushes the boundaries of representation. Some of his proposed projects include a multi-screen video installation called "Amen Brother" about a famous drum sample, and a documentary called "The Nature of Love" about his grandmother's three loves. He has been researching various art movements and theorists as well as documentary films for inspiration. Saward has been struggling with software issues and losing sight of narrative objectives in his work, but recent revelations have led him to simplify his projects and focus more on a central theme and character. Going forward, he aims to get his work seen in more venues and may revert to traditional film/TV documentary formats.
The document discusses the concept of "devised theater" and attempts to clarify misconceptions about what it means. It argues that devised theater is not a style or genre, but rather an approach to playmaking that emphasizes experimentation and flexibility over predetermined creative processes or aesthetic outcomes. The core of devised theater, according to the document, is an openness to considering all possible theatrical conventions and styles and choosing those most suited to conveying the desired message or experience of a given work. It aims to dispel the idea that devised works cannot incorporate traditional techniques or that traditional works cannot take a devised approach.

Here are the key points I would include in my research evaluation:
- Product research allowed me to analyze existing successful horror trailers and identify common elements to include in my own work. However, it did not provide insights into audience preferences.
- The questionnaire received [number] responses, providing useful data on demographics and preferences. However, the open-ended questions may have limited responses.
- The interviews provided more in-depth insights but with a small sample size of only [number] people. Getting varied perspectives would have strengthened findings.
- Distributing the questionnaire online made it easy to reach a wide audience but self-selecting respondents may not represent the target market. Getting quality responses also depended on people's
Here are a few key points to evaluate your research:
- You used multiple methods (product research, surveys, interviews) which provided a well-rounded perspective from different sources. This is a strength.
- The sample sizes for the surveys and interviews were small since they were distributed among people you know. Larger, more randomized samples could provide more generalizable insights.
- The product research gave you ideas to build upon but may not have directly answered questions about your target audience. Combining it with audience research helped address this.
- Overall the mixed methods triangulated findings and provided useful guidance for designing your trailer to appeal to your target demographic. The audience feedback supported proceeding with the concept.
Here are the key points I gathered from your research evaluation:
- You conducted product research to get inspiration for your own film. This helped you imagine creative ideas.
- For questionnaires, you created a 10 question survey and emailed it to 10 people. This allowed you to efficiently collect data, though some people were slow to respond or did not respond at all.
- You interviewed two individuals about films they had seen trailers for. This format allowed you to get clarification and understanding if needed.
- Overall your research methods provided useful insights, but distributing solely by email introduced the risk of low response rates for your survey. In the future, using multiple distribution methods could help improve response.
The planning and research stages helped structure the story and identify appropriate sound effects. However, some planned sound effects like creaky doors did not work out as expected, wasting production time. Time management could be improved with more planning to refine plot points and audio flow. Technical qualities like faded dialog made the audio flow well, but more details and context through dialog clips could have enhanced the story. While sound effects like rain and knives added to the mood, additional foley and music may have further set the scene. Overall, the evaluation identifies strengths in planning and aural qualities, but also areas for more planning, sound effect experimentation, and balancing story details with audio

Michael Lehmann is an American film director known for movies such as Heathers (1988), Meet the Applegates (1990), and Airheads (1994). Since the release of Heathers, school gun regulations and awareness of teen suicide have increased, so some plot points around guns and suicide in the movie would likely not happen today. Also, homosexuality is now more widely accepted, so aspects of characters Ram and Kurt being portrayed as gay would not be as notable. The movie costumes in the musical version of Heathers differ from the original film by having the main characters dressed head-to-toe in their signature colors of red, blue, and black rather than just one item of clothing in their color.
Isaac is a 21-year-old man who works part-time as a bar man. He feels resentful living with his mother and father still and jealous of his more successful brother.

The document emphasizes the importance of thoroughly reading and negotiating the brief to clarify expectations and avoid issues before production starts.
The document discusses the purposes and evolution of television idents (channel branding/identification segments) in the UK. It explains that idents were originally used to distinguish channels as the number of options increased, but now also aim to attract and retain audiences within a broadcaster's channels. The ident styles of BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 are analyzed in terms of how they reflect the personalities and programming of each channel.
The document provides details on the production of idents for a fictional youth TV channel called The Grid. It includes descriptions of three ident concepts that involve playing retro-style phone games. The selected ident for production involves a crane game where the player drops blocks to build a tower and reveal the logo. The ident sequence includes shots of gameplay, a zoom out to show it's on a phone, a high score screen, a reaction shot of the player, and finally the logo animation.
The client, York College, has requested a promotional video for potential students aimed at 15-16 year olds. The video must be filmed on site at the college and showcase the facilities, equipment, and coursework. It should include an interview highlighting the digital creative media course. Motion graphics and the college branding must also be included. Existing promotional videos from similar clients were reviewed for inspiration. An initial proposal was created, outlining the content, purpose, target audience, production roles, and schedule. Resources, a structural breakdown, and contingency plan were also created to prepare for the shoot.
This document provides a proposal for a set of idents for a fictional youth TV channel called "The GRID". It outlines the content, purpose, and target audience of 17-21 year olds. It discusses the planning, production methods, and management of the project. Key elements include designing 3 game-based idents involving dots, blocks, and falling boxes. Animation and motion graphics will be used to composite the game footage over live action shots of a player on their phone. A budget and schedule are included to complete the idents by a deadline of December 22nd.
The document provides details on the planning, production, and completion of a music video for the song "Her Name Is Alice" by Sydney Pooleman. It includes research and idea generation, looking into similar music videos for inspiration, a final decision on the artist and song, and hypothetical budgeting and planning work. Footage logs track the footage collected and whether it will be used in the final video.
The document discusses different types of camera lenses including zoom, prime, wide angle, standard, and telephoto lenses. It also covers camera processes such as aperture, shutter speed, and white balance which control aspects like depth of field, exposure time, and color rendition. The document concludes by discussing various post-processing techniques in Photoshop like dodging and burning, cropping, and filters that can be used to enhance photographs.
The document compares television idents for BBC1 and Movies 24. BBC1 idents feature groups of diverse people engaged in various activities to represent the channel's inclusive appeal to all audiences. Movies 24 idents depict intimate scenes of one or two people to set a relaxing tone for watching films at home. While BBC1 must consider stereotypes and appeal broadly, Movies 24's challenges involve making idents comforting on a small budget. Both opt for calm, slow-paced visuals and sound, though BBC1's logo is subtle while Movies 24 prominently displays its name. Overall, the BBC1 idents most successfully achieve their universal theme.
This document discusses designing TV idents for a new channel. It outlines researching ideas through mind mapping and considering production methods like motion tracking and animation. The target audience is described as mostly female, average age of 19, from middle-class backgrounds with left-wing political views. Other channels with similar audiences are noted, such as E4 and Comedy Central which both focus on comedy programming.
The production log summarizes the production process for an ident created for a youth TV channel. It describes how the ident was animated using repeated drop sequences in After Effects. Green screen techniques were used to composite the animated game onto a phone screen. Files were organized across folders for design, footage, planning, production and screenshots. While not as polished as professional idents, the animation and motion tracking turned out well despite limitations with the live action elements. Legal and ethical considerations including creating original music and assets and obtaining permissions are noted.

What do you prefer characters values to
be?
In my survey I asked the main questions to 20
people; these were all from my target audience
which I decided before hand so I could make
my project towards them. the first question
revealed that people wanted Zombies over
Mutants or Alien parasite's. the second
question showed that mindless hoards were
the best type of 'zombie'; this means that they
wanted walking dead style creatures instead of
more human like creatures. the wanted values
of the character to revolve around family which
worked well with the concept I already plan to
do. the twist in the story has to have clues
through out that hints towards the twist; rather
than built up tension before the drop or a
sudden drop of the twist. the main issue is that
when marketing the project; people didn’t like
the idea of being deceived about the genera,
however revealing the genera spoils the twist
ending. This would be an problem I would
have to work around so the audience dint feel
cheated.

15. Contingency Planning
Possible Problem Effect on Production Solution/Control Person Responsible
SD card corrupting Most, if not all, produced
footage will be lost and
need re-shooting.
Format the card beforehand to prevent
corruption and loss of footage
Responsibility for formatting the card is on
Sydney Pooleman.
Not enough Camera
Battery
Causes production to be
postponed as this will
render the cameras in-
operational
Have a backup battery for a quick change over
during filming
If not checked beforehand then it is Sydney
Pooleman’s fault, however if batteries die and
were not provided with charger then fault is
not to be placed on them.
Faults with the Tripod Causes uneven videos and
or makes the video
Check the tripod before taking the equipment
out of the college vicinity.
Sydney Pooleman job to check the tripod
before taking it out
The Crew are unreliable or
slacking on the day of
filming
Slows filming down and can
possibly stop it altogether
Inform the crew that they are not to do
anything that will slow down the filming
process
Have people who you trust to be your crew.
Sydney Pooleman is responsible for making
sure they understand and they are
responsible for the way they conduct
themselves
The Cast becoming
unavailable or changing
their minds to close to
filming
Slows production and
potentially cost a day of
filming if a replacement isn’t
found
Make sure people are available with enough
time for them to make them self’s free if
needed
Have a backup for what can be done if there
are problems
Their job to inform Sydney Pooleman with
enough time to find a replacement, Sydney
Pooleman to find a replacement as there
should already be a backup for if things go
wrong.
Filming on private property Without permission there is
the problem of not being
able to shoot there.
Arrange to shoot there before the date to
prevent any time clashes or arriving and being
denied access.
It is Sydney Pooleman responsibility to get the
permissions and the owner’s responsibility to
make sure it is available at the time and date
stated.
Running out of time to film Sections can be missing and
or not good enough because
they were rushed
Make a schedule and be sure to stay as close
to it as possible.
Sydney Pooleman needs to be able to control
when everything is being filmed, the cast
need to be able to listen to me and work
effectively
