My 3 minute wonder documentary is about what happens in rehearsals within musical theater and why drama is so important for young people.. It is going to be an observational documentary that explores how the lives of young people have been changed for the better through drama. My target audience is going to be younger children between the ages of 11 and 14. This is because I want to try and encourage younger children to partake within the performing arts industry. My secondary audience is going to be parents to try and show them the positive impacts drama can have during a child’s development. I will be filming in my place of work as I am a vocal coach who teaches children of the age in my primary audience. I will not need any additional crew for my filming process but I will be interviewing the children that I teach to try and gain a further insight into why they have pursued drama. An example of a question I will ask them is 'what made you want to take up drama?' I will not n...

I think my re-branded TV advert for Toni and Guy was successful for a variety of reasons however I feel like there are parts that could have been done better if we were doing it a second time round. The brief for this assignment was to do research into Unilever and the products it promotes and re-brand one of those products. Within my group we decided to re-brand Toni and Guy which is a well known hair care brand. To come to this decision we watched and listened to everyone's presentation about what brand they wanted to re-brand and once we had heard them all we decided which brand we wanted to do. The original primary target audience for Toni and Guy was from ages 18-22 and those with a relatively large income as most of their products are on the pricey side. Also whilst Toni and Guy don't have many adverts broadcast on television the ones that are put on air, all feature models that are the same age as their demographic. Also Toni and Guy is a product that is mainly ai...

Me and my group made a 90 second short film depicting ideas about conformity and how society views people with different ideology's for this project. Our camera use was very simple as our production was made up of different people but with the same shot type. All of our shots were either close ups or wide shots. When people were walking down the path we used a wide shot and with the shots of the faces we used close up shots. We also used an extreme close up of an eye behind the mask to emphasize the fact that people were still individual underneath the mask. Our camera angle also didn't alter much as we kept it very straight on to what was happening.The only time we moved our camera angle was in the final two shots where the camera follows the masks down off of the peoples faces. We kept our editing quite simple as we felt like if we added too many cuts or fades into the already confusing story line would become lost. We added simple cuts between shots in order to ...
