1. Unit 16 LO4 Presentation

2. Adventure for the Amulet
Little things can have a lot of importance.
- Length will be around 15 minutes long to pack in all of the adventure elements to
it.
- Need to make sure that the film flows nicely and doesn’t stop abruptly so I have to
make the film quite long because of this.
- Target audience will be of both genders to increase audience and because the
characters are able to relate to them as well. Around B to C2 on the NRS Scale and
an explorer on the Young and Rubicam Scale.
- Similar to the goonies in terms of style and going to be shot with a modern filter
and 35mm lens due to budget.
- Will be part of a short series of films in a clip or something similar to the sort.

of his life.

decided to not attend college to study and wanted to go into full time

- Cole, age 18 and the eldest of the group and has really good relations with
Matthew and Benjamin. Classified as the silly and the odd one in the group as well
due to his personality traits.

7. Mistaken Incarceration
Sometimes two personalities cross, For the wrong reasons…
- The length of the film is going to be around 10 minutes long.
- The story should be action packed in order to increase audience not getting bored
and having blank scenes.
- Target audience should be around the ages of 16-25 with a working class of
around the C1 and the C2 range and on the Young and Rubicam 4Cs scale it will be
a part of the mainstream audience and the succeeder audience as well.
- It will have a normal colour palette and also be shot on 35mm lens due to the
budget that I will have.
- Potentially will be a part of a short film series and potentially on less mainstream
website.
