Point 35: Props and Costumes

For the film I am creating I will not need that many props and costumes.

The main ones I will need for certain shots can all be found in my bedroom expect for the posters and guitar.
For the posters I am going to print them off and the guitar I am going to borrow from a housemate.

Secondly I think it is really important that the clothing my actors wear represent the independent music scene. Luckily mo
st of my actors dress quite alternatively already and the rest of the costumes I have brought with me to school and are in my wardrobe.

Obviously for the bedroom I will need a bed and duvet etc. I already have these and now just need to print off posters of bands to hang around the bedroom.

Point 26: Investigation of Narrative Theories

Point 24: Key Elements of Genre Checklist

The genre being an independent music film gives me clear guidelines to follow in order for my opening to conform with the expectations of the film.

To include:

Mis En Scene and Cinematography

1. Multiple shots from experimental angles and views.
2. Natural lighting during normal scenes, e.g. Bedroom
3. Dark lighting for concert and dream scene.
4. Sound must be realistic with clear music.
5. Costumes must be realistic to scenesters and alternative teenagers.
6. Props include musical instruments.
7. Keeping the pace with multiple shots.

Expectations of Film Opening

1. Fast paced.
2. Setting the scene.
3. Overview of the protagonist.
4. Music from the outset due to it being about music.
5. Independent so realistic and relatable to target audience.

Audience

1. Due to target audience being teenagers and young adults make sure they can relate to opening.
2. Keep it realistic and gritty so they can associate with it.
3. Allow audience to feel a sense of understanding with the protagonist wanting to achieve their dream.

Point 21: Institutions That May Produce, Distribute and Exhibit My Film

                                                              

Point 20: Categorising My Audience

                                        

                                                   ¨

Due to my target audience being from the age of 15-24 this takes up 50% of the amount of people according to the pearl and dean graph. This means that my film will clearly fit the age range that I have aimed for and will hopefully be viewed by a lot of people. It also shows that the amount of males and females attending are almost even, much like how my film is aimed at both genders. I don't believe the social classes will effect my movie audience as much though, as I believe it can be understood by all. 

Point 19: Perfect Audience Member

After going to uktribes.com and reading through the multiple groups that are appointed to people depending on their personality and lifestyle I have come to the conclusion that my target audience are part of the leading edge. This includes creatives, urban artists, DIYers and scenesters who are all seen as proactive leaders that live for making music, curating club nights, publishing magazines and documenting the latest things online. The sub-category creatives may produce music, promote club nights, start indie bands and create festival stages. Urban-artists are another sub-category which often contribute to urban arts such a spoken word, rap, graffiti and urban music. Divers are creative and often produce music and start indie bands, they also often influence urban culture in major cities. The final sub-category that I believe applies to my target audience are the scenesters who set themselves apart by creating new friend and bring music from across all types of people and making it their own.

My target audience is within the age gap of 15-25 that should attract both genders through the neutral topic of music. The people are attracted to new ideas and the ideas of new music and trying to get somewhere in life. 

An example of my perfect audience member would be an 18 year old girl, who listens to a wide variety of music but has a special liking for alternative music and bands. 

My audience member will most likely eat popcorn and have a drink, at least this is what I have gathered from the people that I know that fit into the leading edge category. The music they listen too will reflect their leadership and alternative skills with them exploring both old and new music. It will be of a diverse range and this should hopefully be reflected within the movie.
