Audience theories

Reference: http://www.slideshare.net/zcurrie/audience-theory-3856713

This is a Presentation that was made on Prezi about different audience theories. I think that learning more about audiences will help me to connect with them, and to bring them the type of stuff that they would enjoy and love to see on the TV. Doing this has helped me see what my film opening should be able to show in a form of media that people may want to use for entertainment, a distraction and to gain a personal identity to the characters that are in a film. But to also be careful about what views the film may portray, as I wouldn't want my video to make a bad effect on my audiences life's.

Video Production self assessment

Above is a picture taken of my work so far with targets on what I need to do to improve. The things that I need to do is work on titling to make my film look more like an opening film, by doing this I am going to look on the exam board website to look at some of the things other people have done to give me an idea on how I could present the titling on mine.

Secondly, I need to make sure that the continuity of sound is fluent and flows perfectly with each scene, this is important because otherwise it would confuse the audience with what is going on. Additionally, I need to change the colour of the video I filmed so it fits with the overall film.

Fortunately, the praise I got for my work was that the shooting material is appropriate to the task set including controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, variety of shot distance and close attention to mise-en-scene.

Re-done production company logo

I have re-done my Sparkle Production logo to make it look a bit more professional and different to everyone else's. The thing that happens on my Production logo is stars start to move across the screen to then show the production company name. I did this by using Imovie and then I exported it and added the short film to final cut over the top of my Production Company title.

Draft of Masked Man video

I have been given feedback from my teachers about my video so far. All of the filming that I have taken is great I just need to make some tweaks on my sound so it all fits together and it doesn't look like one bit of a scene is not suppose to be there. I think if I carry on making sure that the sound flows correctly my opening film will be really good. Also I need to add titles at the beginning, showing who is involved in my film, this is important to then make it look like an actual opening to a film.

Auditing mark scheme with my Blog

From the mark scheme I have done planning and research in a lot of detail, organisation of actors, locations, costumes or props, worked on drafting, scripting and storyboarding. Also I have made sure that I have took a lot of care in my presentation of work in research and planning to help me with my filming, so I know what I need to do when it comes to actually editing it. Also I made sure that my time management is kept up to date like a diary, including all the things I have done to help make my work look professional and so I understand the Media industry a lot more as well. However I need to make sure that I add a bit more detail about the target audience I have used and then my work will be a higher level 4.

Feedback #2 on my Blog

On this Peer table I have got feedback on my Blog, the things highlighted in green and the writing in green are what I might need to improve on. From having this feedback from my teacher I am going to make sure that I proof read all written response on my blog, integrate media language concepts and theories, compare my work to other exam board examples, audit mark scheme and cross reference with your blog, gain and evidence more audience feedback and elaborate target audience planning. I am going to make sure that I take my teachers feedback on board to make my research and planning the best it can be.
