Task 10: 25 Word Pitch

25 Word Pitch 



This our 25 word pitch. The process we did was use our two main characters to speak the lines of our 25 word pitch. We thought a voice over would be better to show our media skills. The equipment used were a HD iPhone 6 camera and uploaded it onto final cut pro to edit.

We used the iPhone voice notes to record the voices and then emailed them to ourselves. We placed the voice note over the video so it play together. We edited and cropped the video to fit the audio. The video was sped up 8x faster.

The 25 word pitch clearly links together with our concept and was long thought out. The writing was written out on a whiteboard and this was inspired by Youtubers who do draw my life. They use the same process to tell a story.

Target Audience Research - Survey Results


  
From the results shown here, we can see that the ages most popular is 15-18 this works well because this age range is what we would like our target audience.


From this question we can see that the results from our survey match out target audience. Our highest result was the age range of 15-18 year olds, this tells us the main age range our film should target. I feel this will be good because we are in this age range and so are our actors. We also got two equal results from 14 and under and 26-35, this tells us that we could perhaps consider making our film attract a younger market as well as a slightly older market too.


    
From these results we can see what people like the most about romance genres. This will help us decide the main elements to feature throughout our film. It also gives us a rough idea of what elements should be featured more than others. For example the most popular result was relationships, therefore our trailer should feature this quite a lot throughout. Heartbreak has a larger result than happiness, this means that our trailer could include more heartbreak scenes than happy scenes. This question has really helped us as it has provided us with results that we can use throughout the trailer. 

Overall using the evidence from the charts we have decided that our target audience will be 15-18 year old girls. We will target them by having an attractive male lead and including real life issues like The Fault In our Stars, which is a really popular film of a girl suffering with cancer.

Task 9: Costumes and Make-up

For our Trailer we are having our two main characters in normal clothes for 17 year olds. Lauren who plays Hope will wear plain casual clothing to keep it simple. For example plain skirts and pretty coloured tops. In school our main character will wear normal sixth form clothes to keep some realism to our trailer.

For Cavan he will wear normal clothes for a male teen for example skinny jeans, trainers and a top. He will wear smart clothes to sixth form, such as black trousers and a shirt, and when he takes Lauren out for their dates.

For our cast we will use some makeup to give our trailer a professional look to it. Lauren who plays Hope will wear Eyeliner, Mascara and Foundation. She will look like a normal 21st century 17 year old girl. Cavan will wear a tiny bit of make up it will be very minimalist as his character is manly. All Costume and Makeup will be our own and low budget. If we had a higher budget higher quality outfits would be provided.
