We looked at many different types of media, from clips of films to pictures and write ups of the horror genre. We did a lot of research on costumes and pictures of what stereotypes were most commonly used in horror films, this helped us a great amount as is enabled us to try and take the information we found out and the ideas from the costumes we found and put them into our film. We watched a clip on Halloween 4 opening credits which helped massively even though it was only the credits. From watching this we were able to see the types of settings that was used and the props that were placed in the short clips, seeing this gave me ideas of how our film should look and what the setting should be like. From doing some research i was able to see what type of audience our film would attract and be best suited too, from the research i found that the target audience suitable for our film would be teenagers from 15 above to any one interested in horror films. It would mainly seem appealing to the age group around 15-18 as there isn't really any gory of gruesome parts, therefore may not appeal to the male audience either.
I recorded all of our research onto our blogs that we had all made and made a new post for each different type of research i did so that it was easy to find. I recorded some of the research in different ways, for example in spider diagrams, bullet points, pictures, video clips and even paragraphs of information. This was a clear and tidy way to keep all of my research so i found it really useful to look back on when planning the film.
The primary research that was undertaken was our questionnaire that we produced and gave out to people from different target audiences. We found this really helpful as we got to see what interested what target auidence the most and to see if we could put that into our own film and see if we could balance it out so that we could achieve some of the elements people from the different target auidences would like to see so that we could have a variety of auidences. The results were very intersting as they were all pretty much the same and all very close so it made it a lot easier for us to try and attract the different auidences to our film.
Alot of secondary research was undertaken as we found a huge amount of it from the internet and through watching youtube clips, trailers and even films from what other AS students did from a couple of years ago. This was really helpfull as we could see the comments and rewiews on the clips and what people thought were good and what people didnt think was so good, so this allowed us to see what would work best for us. We got most of our ideas through secondary research and found it really usefull and we benifited the most from this.
The effectivness of both these kinds of research is that it gives you a wide variety of eays to collect information useful to your film and gives you many different options and ideas to try and make your film as good as you can possibly make it and even helps you make improvements. Out of the two the secondary research worked the best for us as i found it quicker to find out information and you were able to visualise it all too, such as looking at the costumes and settings.
We used a story board to plan out what the scenes would roughly look like and how to set them out. i found these effective as you could put everything into perspective and see how it would look and how long each shot would take and get a clear veiw on the shots. The only disadvantage for us using a story board was that we ended up hardly looking or following it, it was only really usefull for planning it at the start, although it helped us get a rough image of what our film was meant to look like whilst we were making it. The shot list was also linked in to our story board and it enables us to keep things organised and it was good having a list as we new exactly how long each clip should take and where it should be shot. Having a script was really effective as it helped out the actors learn what they were saying and when they needed to say it, it made producing the film so much easier as i could direct them when to say what they had to say incase they happened to forget.
