Potential Target Audience

In order for me to make an effective production that will appeal to people, I first need to think about what elements are included in attracting different target markets and also what techniques I could use to attract/ address my own targeted audience.

For every film genre there will be a different target audience. Although sometimes the target market overlaps to different genres, an individual will mostly stay with a few different film genres that they find captures their own interest and keeps them engaged. Whether that interest and engagement is through humor, action, romance or the social groups that are represented in the film that the audience will relate to, the writer/creator or producer will first have to think and decide about which audience they wish to attract/address and how they will represent that through the type of genre as well as elements within film language that will assist the audience with interpreting and therefore enjoying the film.

I will need to do some research into what techniques and elements I can use within my production to attract my audience. However I first need to establish who my target market are and therefore increasing my ability to create an effective production that my target market will enjoy.
I could do this research by making a questionnaire and asking questions such as:

• what genres of films do you enjoy?
• what is it about those films that makes them enjoyable for you?
• what type of film language do you find is most effective/ important in the process of representing this genre?
• what are your hobbies/interests?
• what age group are you?
• what gender are you?

Asking these types of questions will not only help me identify the ways in which are most effective when addressing my audience but also it will help to specify the types of people that the different genres engage and therefore enables me to understand who my target audience will be.

Story Boarding Camera Shots

Story Board

To organize my scenes and which actors/props i will be needing for each one, i have put together a rough story board of the different shots i want to use and put them in order. This will help me to save time and film each scene efficiently and effectively.

 

Rough Edit

Rough Edit 

(No sound)

This is my first rough draft of the camera shots.
After doing this draft I decided to remove some of the clips toward the beginning so that it builds up faster, keeping the audience engaged. I also thought about breaking up and mixing the shots of the ballerina and horse rider putting their shoes on to make sure the audience can easily make the connection between the two main characters. I haven't yet taken into consideration sound. This is because I need to make sure I have the right order of clips before thinking about sound effects and adding the backing track as it might not fit in as I move around the shots. I have also decided to add in an establishing shot of the dance hall to introduce the audience to the location being used, this will help them frame their understanding of the situation.

This edit should be watched without sound.

Costume Ideas

To represent the middle to upper class quality the two main characters share, it is important to use the correct uniform for both Horse- eventing and Ballet. by wearing the right costume it will emphasize the seriousness and competitive quality of the two characters. The connotation of a ballet outfit includes having strength but at the same time being delicate and light. the uniform required for horse eventing can vary. the simple colours are used for events such as dressage and show jumping, which can be seen as more precise, careful, controlled movements as apposed to horse racing or cross country where the rider wheres brightly coloured uniform which could be seen as less serious. By having the right costume the audience will be able to judge and subconsciously make connections between the two characters and their qualities/personalities.
