PLANNING: RISK ASSESSMENT

 A risk assessment is necessary to avoid any injuries or dangers which we may come in contact with throughout our filming. This table below presents these possible dangers and how we avoided them. I categorised this table into the main themed risks: Location/Environment, Weather and General Public. 


HEALTH HAZARD: 
These are all the factors which could be dangerous and are highlighted as risks to us. For example, we identified the fact there were rabbit holes where we were filming, factors of which may be dangerous to us due to if we accident stood in one it may injure us.

RISK LEVEL:
This is judged with labels, H, M or L, standing for high, medium and low, judging the health hazard by how dangerous it is. None of our risks we discovered were labelled H, mostly medium and low. An example of this is when we labelled the rain risk as M due to the rain wasn't an extremely significant risk, however it could effect us when filming.

RISK EXPOSURE:
This is a list of how and why the health hazards are dangerous, for example, we evaluated the 'trespassing' problem by explaining that being found in a location which we weren't given permission to film in may result in us being banned from there or just get in trouble with the teachers. 

CONTROL MEASURE: 
This box explains how to avoid the dangers and reduce the risk of them, such as wear more layers of clothing to avoid the cold weather when filming.

PLANNING: MY TARGET AUDIENCE & HOW I ENGAGED THEM

From the Future learn course I'm following (Distribution: Connecting Films with Audiences), I have learnt that all products are targeted at specific audiences, known as a target audience. This allows me to understand who I'm producing my production for and therefore what's appropriate and will be the most successful to include.

 I needed to plan how I'd determine my target audience. Therefore I had to identify who they are (factors relevant include age, gender, ethnicity and social class), what their desires were (so my production would be successful and fit their needs), and how I could reach them (to market my film). I also needed to show how my research impacted and influenced my planning.

I began by investigating how brands define certain audiences, in preparation for creating my own audience profile for my AS Foundation Production. An example of this is when I noticed how Bauer Media, NME and Sky defined audiences. This assisted me when profiling my audience. 


From making this poster (by using the app Pic Collage) I was able to show a visual brain storm of the types of interests my target audience have, such as including their most used apps (Snapchat, Instagram..) as well as popular companies (The North Face, Netflix..). This visual representation is useful as understanding their interests influenced me to decide on a genre

PLANNING: OUR COMP LIST


This movie fills the audience with both interest and tension due to the main character, Holly, played by Bella Thorne, who acts as a crazy obsessed teenager, desperate for the love of the other main character, Tyler, played by Taylor John Smith. The plot 


Today we carried out similar research, watching Kezia Williams' presentation for the FDA, and learning about how the distributors identify their target audiences. 

Kezia Williams, who's part of Entertainment One UK on the FutureLearn Film Distributioninforms her audience on how film distributors build a comp list- comparable films which our targeted audience may enjoy. By watching her presentation we gain a deeper understanding of a comp list and it's functions, considering the best elements our target audience would be interested in. 

 She draws attention to the importance of knowing and understanding your target audience. Learning their interests and what motivates them is key in  enabling the creation and development of ideas which furthermore can be more appealing and suitable, creating a more successful production. She asks questions such as "What encourages them to visit the cinema?" and "What are some of their personal interests?". She also explains how distributors will compare data of films that are similar in their genre, selling points and story. The comparison of previous films allows a greater consideration of details like what type of audience did it attract more, such as male or female. The target audience and budget is formulated from what box office take was like with previous films and the types of audience that saw those films. The target audience can be analysed and investigated to find the suitable gender gap, and discover which cinemas the target audience may use the most frequently.

PLANNING: MY AUDIENCE QUESTIONAIRE

I am using Google forms to construct a questionnaire for my targeted audience and send it to people who are likely to watch our film. My questions will refer to age, gender, what types of films they prefer to watch, what influences them to watch a film and where they prefer to watch it. Our production team want to make a film that would appeal to young people aged 15-35 (target audience). This will be significantly useful to ensure the genre is appealing to our desired audience. Google Forms will ensure I gain my required data.

                            

These are the type of questions I ideally intend to ask:
