In this blogpost, I am going to plan my treatment for my short media product. The final treatment will be presented on a Prezi.
What have I learnt
- what types of research there are (quantitative and qualitative)
- what methods of research there are (Primary and secondary)
- different media research agencies
- how to carry out different methods of research (e.g. questionnaire, proofing/referencing secondary sources)
- the three different purposes of research within media (audience, market and production)
What research did I undertake
- carried out forms of primary research on audience
- carried out research on how to create a short film
- what equipment I need
- what members of staff i need and what roles
- how to budget and estimating the prices of materials
- researched different locations and prices and permission
(include examples in the prezi, e.g. the focus group video, and image of questionnaire)
How did it help with my proposal
- helped me to find information, data and statistics on how to create a efficient media product
- how to make it relate to my target market
- helped me find effective techniques against rival film makers
- how to include different techniques to help with my film making
Structure
- Low budget drama
- horror/psychopathic genre
- will be set in a graveyard, desolate field/park, deserted barn/stable/bedroom
- the story will be based around a possessed/psychopathic girl seeking revenge and torment on a group of victims
- the film will remain a cliffhanger at the end to scare the audience more
- the music used will follow regular horror genre mise-en-scene techniques to ensure we achieve the correct response from the target audience of 16-25 year old.
