A rough cut of your trailer is due THURSDAY, 15th DECEMBER.

A rough cut will not necessarily include your final music/sound, but the majority of your footage should be in place and it should be arranged in an order that makes sense.

Remaining Planning and Drafting - Due 11th Nov

You should all be in the final stages of planning (with your first draft script and storyboard complete). Below are the remaining (compulsory) tasks:

• Audience feedback on your script/storyboard
• Location Reports
• Casting
• Wardrobe
• Prop sourcing

As last year, the more detailed the better. You should be aiming to draw comparisons between your decisions and how they fit with existing conventions. You should also use the audience feedback to shape your product (ensure you explicitly comment on this too).

For those of you aiming for the best possible results in your coursework, you may want to consider the inclusion of:

• Test shots

• Lighting tests

• Make up tests

• Screen tests (actors)

• Further drafting on script (perhaps based on audience feedback)

Target Audience Research

Look at this article relating to target audience for films - HERE 

Find an existing film similar in tone to your own film concept and produce a research document outlining the target audience and how the marketing and film content has appealed to this group.

You should outline age groups, gender, demographics, psychographics etc... How did the film studio and distributor work to appeal to these groups? Think about marketing, film plot, stars, similar products, merchandise tie ins etc...

Here is an example of a layout:
