TASK 10 Filming: Day 2

The second day of filming was considerably more successful than the first. We decided to re-shoot what we had done previously, so there are no lighting mix ups from shot to shot. We again used the JVC camera to take our shots, and managed to do them at much better quality then previously.

We filmed at the similar time to the first shoot, however as we were prepared we managed to get through shots a lot better. The main issue was how soon it got dark, however we got a good portion of our filming complete.

For the next session of filming we will have all shots completed.

TASK 10 Filming: Day 1

The equipment we used was the JVC camera as well as a tripod to hold the camera still while we filmed. We decided on using this due to the good quality of sound it can pick up alongside its quality in tracking moving, which is important to our film. We

Audience Profiling

A media product is designed to be consumed by an audience, be it for a mass market or to a niche audience or for an employer in the film industry. Money is often made from this via selling it to a consumer. If not, it is not a mass media product. Short films are generally targeted by a niche audience, as they are generally aimed at a smaller audience, whom would have individual wants and desired gratifications from my product.

My product, which is a thriller film, which the premise is basically a home invasion. This might have a slightly bigger market than an average short film, as stories such as this interest people involved with the internet culture. Using YouGov I researched the audiences of films that are similar, then factored in that the films it is similar to are high budget big screen films, unlike the one I am producing, so I do not think it would be useful. I think our actual audience would be more artistic oriented people, who would use the internet for blogging and communication. The socioeconomic status of this audience would be middle classes and higher, as those with more disposable income would want to see a short independent film.

The general age group for people who would see is this is expanded, due to websites such as vimeo, which can host videos at a higher quality than other video sharing sights. With tools such as this this would open up from what would be the age bracket of a 21-40 year old audience to possibly younger, such as maybe from 16-40, making it much boarder then general targeted audiences.
