RESEARCH:AUDIENCE ANALYSIS

Here you can see the brands of social media sites which our audience use, the brands which they wear, the shows they watch and the films that they watch. 

Today I making outline notes about what my target audience for 'One Off" will be. 

Age - 15-35.
BBFC Rating - 15
Gender- Male (60%), Female (40%).
Social Bracket- Broad social bracket.

Viewers of our film are likely to enjoy watching TV shows such as 'The Walking Dead', or films such as 'World War Z'. Our target audience will enjoy shows and films like this as it is about dangerous, futuristic and tense situation which you wouldn't want to experience in real life. The younger part of our target age bracket will be interested in our film as it is about people of their age. 

This audience profiling will help us later on in the process with the forms of distribution which we choose to use. For example, we will create an Instagram page, Facebook page and Twitter. We will do this because these are the social media platforms which our target audience use. This will allow us to address them correctly and these social media platforms will allow us to communicate with our audiences during the production stage. An example of this would be putting up release date updates and short behind the scene videos to tease them about the new film. This will entice our audience to come and see our film on release as they will feel more connected.

PLANNING : STORYBOARDS

I used Story Board That to create a digital storyboard opposed to a conventional drawn story board. I did this to see how creating a digital storyboard would compare to creating a paper one. I found that this was a lot more fiddly and effort than drawing it myself.

RESEARCH: OCR WEEBLY

Here we saw Steve Thorne teaching about video production. This will help me with my story board as he shows us an organised and clear way of how to create one. He uses sticky notes to draw on so that he can draw on the sticky note and then if the scene changes he can place it wherever he wants on the storyboard. This method will greatly help me when I make mine.

PLANNING : OUR TREATMENT

Story:  In the year 2020,  complete war breaks out between America and Russia resulting in mass population loss. The story follows a 18 year old who is surviving on his own in his abandoned school building. After several weeks on his own living on food which was stored at the school he finds his provisions running low and his mental state decreasing. Pin's falling off of notice boards, water dripping off of pipes, all startle and alert him to become paranoid if there is someone dangerous living there as well. After realising he needs to leave as there is either a dangerous presence or he is going insane, he embarks on a journey to reconnect with human civilisation. This journey takes him outside of his comfort and brings him into contact with other survivors some friendly, some hostile.

Top Line: A lone survivor in the wake of a World War must try and connect with human civilisation after believing his place of safety is either compromised or he is going insane and beginning to imagine other presences with him, sending him insane. This results on him going on a quest to find other survivors.

Big Question: Will he be successful in finding other human survivors who are friendly, or will everyone be hostile or will there be no-one at all.
