Research and planning 3

•         What real media and audiences did you look at?

We aimed our film at teenagers of both sexes aged 15+

•         How did they inform your thinking about your media production?

We knew our audience would enjoy a high intense film with the typical conventions of an action film. We adjusted the script to suit the audience because at first it was too simple and our audience would have been unsatisfied.

•         How did you record all that research?

We asked members of our audience to fill out a questionnaire to help aid us with our film ideas.

•         What primary research was undertaken?

Questionnaires

•         What secondary research was undertaken?

We watched over films similar to ours ( James Bond) and then did research on the film to see the typical features.

•         How did it inform the production?

We used our primary and secondary information to decide on certain aspects of our film such as the chase scene. We could not decide how to start our film but our research helped us to decide to start with a chase scene.

•         What is the effectiveness of these kinds of research?

Your audience get a choice of what they would like to happen in the film.

•         How effectively were storyboards/shot lists/script followed?

Very effectivly. We used our storyboard and script, that we had planned out before, to its full effect and included almost very scene we had planned to. We did miss out some scenes due to the weather.
