Progress Plan

This lesson i have filled the rest of the group in on more details of the idea, helping Chris and Matthew think of useable techniques of their micro-elements. I have also done some research into what demographic our film will appeal to and have looked into location permission to figure out where we can film, but i'll have to do more research on this outside of Sixth Form.

Target audience.

Our target audience will be between 14 and 30, the reason for this is that this age range are the most likely in the UK to be exposed to drug culture, this means they can potentially relate more to the content than other demographics could.

Seeing as our idea contains quite dramatic themes but also moments on surreal comedy I think the mindset of our potential audience are mainly comedy watchers, though the heavy involvement of drama would open the doors to a more drama favouring audience.

Group meeting outcome.

The group i am working with includes; myself, Tarik Ahmed, Matthew Regan and Chris Heath.
We are progressing ahead with my idea. Our involvement in the project will be:
Me - Cinematography
Matthew - mise-en-scene
Tarik - Sound
Chris - Editing.
I will also be taking on the role of director, organising the group and overseeing everyones contribution and advising.

Idea's developed

I have changed my idea as i feel it may have been too ambitious as Editing is not the micro element I want to focus on, but it would have been fundamental to the narrative, so im no longer pursuing that idea.
My new idea is a kind of "drugs in the cold light of day" idea, it would be a short film around 3-5 minutes long this would follow an individual who is clearly on drugs and will show the disparencies between what he sees/feels and what is actually happening. This would be good for my micro element as i can use a variety of different types of shot in order to represent the different perspectives, this would allow me to show a lot of range and demonstrate different skills.
I will hopefully be working on it with a group, but I need to establish who to work with and whose idea to use and make sure i can do cinematography.
