Music Video..

TaylorSwift- You belong with me

I like this song and also the video because it deals with a major issue relevant to teenagers and young adults, my possible target audience, in their lives. It is about a girl who falls in love with a guy who is already with someone else. The video shows their happy ending but the heartbreak before that. I like this idea that is portrayed through the video as its unique and has not been used before.

So far so good...

After reviewing the to do list I uploaded earlier on my blog all the research I have left to do is:

1. Collect back the results from my target audiences questionairre and create a way to display this.
2. Decide on a genre for my film and watch some teaser trailers from that genre, analyse them and upload them.
3. Decide on my final idea and upload costume, music, actor and location ideas.

Target Audiences Questionnaire...

I have put together a simple questionnaire, made up of eight questions, to send out to people to find out what the audience want. Once this is done I can put together the results and come to a decision about the type of film I am going to make. I am going to attach this electronically to an email and send it around to family, friends and work colleagues.

Kidulthood Analysis..

Kidulthood is a 2006 British drama film about the life of several teenagers in Ladbroke Grove and Latimer Road area of Inner West London. It was directed by Menhaj Huda and written by Noel Clarke, who also stars in the film and directed the sequel, Adulthood. I decided to analyse this film because it deals with many modern issues experienced by teenages today. For example; teenage relationships, abuse, drugs, gang warfare, sexual relationships, pregnancy and suicide. If my film was directed at a target audience of younger adults and teenagers it would be easy for them to relate to many of the issues within my film. Another thing I noticed throughout the film was the heavy use of taboo language, again this is something that appeals the the teenage/younger adult catagory. Throughout the film they use non-diegetic soundtracks to create suspension, build tension and to help portray the mood to the audience.

Blair Witch Project Analysis...

I decided to watch the Blair Witch Project as it is completely filmed using a hand held camera. Whilst watching I found that it was a good effect but after a while it gave me a headache. The use of the hand held is explained at the beginning, through saying that it was all real footage and was only found after the bodies were found, this excuses its use through out. It was interesting to watch and as the audience I knew that everything was from the perspective of the camera man/women but if I was to use this effect I would only use it for certain sections of my film. The film is slightly filmed in the style of a documentary, with informal interviews with the other members of the "witch team" and people living in the town. Throughout the female makes references to a project and this explains the documentary style film. I did not particulary enjoy watching this film as it wasnt very interesting and did not have much of a story line although I can understand why horror is a popular genre to make.
