Target Audience Reaserch

Image
Today, my group talked about what would be our target audience. During the process of this film we wanted to address it to all ages from teens to grandparents. The atmosphere between the older couple and the younger couple grabs the attention of both those type of audiences. Our movie is unique than other comedy movies because of the fact that you would never of guessed that the older couple would be the party animals. The genre of comedy can be braked down by age from young kids rating the movie at PG however I believe our film shows some provocative scenes referencing to drinking or drug use. This being said the PG-13 to R rated movie would be the route we would go. Once we have decided our target audience we now have to market towards that type of audience. We have a large range for our audience from teens to grandparents so we have to market to both extremes. While older people listen to cable news and teens listen more to the radio we have to address both ways to get our...

Rough Draft Video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq5-Bx8pH4 Our rough draft is attached. Today we edited our film which was a very slow tedious process with the program we used. We filmed multiple shots so we could just grab the ones we wanted to use for the end film. The film was first 4 mins long, but after editing we got it down to a little over 2 minutes. During the production of the film we encountered some difficulties. Some of these difficulties were arranging a time that would not infer with the younger kids napping schedule. The camera also died on us resulting in the usage of a phone, which gave the same quality as the camera. Every member in the group did something to make sure the filming of the project went smoothly. We wanted to make sure everyone got a turn in filming the film in some way and to also have their input in the editing of the video.

Schedule Filming

Today is the day!   We have all our actors and actresses all ready to go.We are going to start filming at 3:00 pm, right after school. We have already set what each person is going to so. Our goal is to just video multiple shots and we can shorten the scene and film later. Ayden- direct the actors into position  Kelsey- vision works ( she will look at the scene and see if something should change or not) Me- I will be taking most the shots with the camera but also trading off with the other people in the group.

Casting

Throughout this film, we knew we wanted to cast a young couple and an old couple. We gather a lot of applications to star in our opening, so we had to have an audition to determine who would star in our film.  For our old couple we decided to go with                                   For our Young couple we went with  Ron and Jean. They showed the most                                         Hannah and Dante. They showed  enthusiastic since we were looking for                                       the serious we needed in a young  wild and free older couple.                               ...

Script

This is our rough draft script. When filming we want to follow the script but also want to allow the characters to adventure out and explore more into their part. My part with making up the script was the part scene. While Ayden and Kelsey worked out the publix scene. We threw all our ideas together and came up with the lines that the actors would say. We wanted to make sure it had the comedy feel in the movie.

Scouting Locations

Image
   To find the perfect location for our movie we toured multiple houses backyards to stage the perfect party scene. Below are examples of some locations we went to look at. We decided to pick the location on the right since it has the large backyard we were looking for. We also used our local grocery store to shoot the scene where the family and the old couple would shop for their necessary needs.
