I have chosen to do the video brief for my assessment. I am working in a group of three with Faith Starie and Karlton Armstrong. I feel that it will allow us to use a large range of media techniques and camera shots and editing techniques. Doing the print brief may have to allowed me to use my full amount of media techniques and understanding of media terms. Deciding to do the video brief I feel that we will be able to show off our media techniques and camera shots. Being able to edit the video as well will show that we are able to use the computers and editing apps to make the video clip flow together.
We are now thinking about the genre we want to do;
comedy as whole was defiantly not a option to make as it can turn out rather bad.
horror/ thriller was another genre that we decided not to use. we decided this as it a cliche and we didn't want to follow the crowd.
I also thought romance films was another type of genre that we wouldn't do as it can be again to cliche.
we decided that action/adventure/thriller would be best suited for us, although there will be more adventure in it as we do not have the right equipment to make all the effects of what would happen if it was a budgeted film. Some of the films produced do not look professional at all while some do. We are aiming to make it look as professional as possible. The pros and cons of deciding to do a action film is being able to show that we are able to use a variety of camera shots as doing a fight scene will need a lot of effective shots that show what the fight would look like if it was real and injuring someone. The cons of doing this though is that if we don't manage on getting the fight scene shots looking perfect it can make the whole scene look terrible.
We decided that our target audience is teenagers, specifically from the ages of 14 to 25 for both genders. Boys are usually drawn to it due to the action sequences and the usual pretty girl that the hero tries to save, the girls are also interested too but not for the same reasons. The girls may watch the film if the hero is a good looking man, Those who are younger than 14 may find it quite scary and frightening as they may not like the types of action going on. they may also not understand the story line that the film has either.
Our initial idea is that someone is going to bed at night and being able to see what they see in the dream. Then at the end of the two minute video we see them waking up and finding out their vivid dream wasn't real, but then finding out something strange is happening in their real lives too. There are many ideas that we all had for what could happen during the two minute video... we also had many more ideas:
An idea, we had as a group was that the equilibrium is going to be where there is a small group of friends or family sitting at a table at home, the disruption will be two of these people will look at each other and do some sort of signal. The recognition of the disruption is when they'd get up and do something violent to the other people sitting at the table. We might do a flash back on how they joined together and why they were after the people. We'd finish the two minute video on a focus on the object/weapon they would use to hurt they other people.
We have finally decided that our genre of thriller and action. We decided this as many of our ideas went in the way of thriller and action, so decided that it is easier to think and make of our final production.
