Plan

• Research into similar media texts and analysis of their forms and conventions: watch as many horror films as i can.

Ideas:

Film openings: look at the link to ART OF THE TITLE SEQUENCE.

Break down your choice of film openings and analyse them like they’ve done on the art of the title sequence. This should help focus your attention on the importance of titles. Don’t forget to discuss mise-en-scene, camerawork, editing etc…


• Audience research

Ideas

You must have a clear idea of your target audience. You need to carry out a number of audience research tasks and document how these have helped to develop your production work. I will expect to see some edited footage of audience interviews/focus groups at work etc…

Focus group while i'm watching the films .

A summative post giving a 25 word analysis of who you think your audience is.
