Task 6: Audience Research

Qualitative Data:





Quantitative Data:


The Breakfast Club


Juno



The Inbetweeners


What I have learnt:
From researching this, I have learnt how important it is to use codes and conventions in order to inform the viewer who the audience is and engage the demographic. One way I have learnt that can be effective is the use of a sound track to reflect the nature of what you are about to see and costume to identify the characters personality and trait. Therefore, I will be including a sound track in my opening sequence and I will need to consider carefully what costumes my characters will wear in order to portray a message.

Checklist For My Opening Sequence:

  • Don't reveal too much of the narrative.
  • Use a catchy soundtrack to engage my audience.
  • Correct institution information used.
  • Make the main character the focus of the narrative.
  • Film the video in landscape and not portrait as it will make it difficult to edit.
  • Make the actors speak clearly and slowly to make it easy to edit and understandable.
  • Stick to the 180 degree rule unless I am braking it to add effect and demonstrate confusion.
  • Use close ups.
  • Think about costume to represent a social group.
  • Make a clear plan/storyboard.
  • Make transitions seamless.
  • Use Film 4 as my institution company as they are usually low budget films and bring up encouraging actors. 
  • Try to include some animation in my sequence.
  • Produce a script for my actors.
  • Use pans to demonstrate motion.
  • Create some enigma codes that will make my audience watch on.
  • Produce a catchy soundtrack.
