My response to the brief- T1
Purpose
The purpose of the product is entirely entertainment, the short film needs to be engaging for the target audience (16-24). As the product is being made just to entertain this means that it can be completely free on what is made (genre, characters) the film should be fiction to give it that better sense of being just for entertainment purposes. If the film was non-fiction it would not appeal to the target audience as they are not typically watchers of things such as documentaries or factual films.
Medium
The product is going to be a film so it will be in the Film sector of the media.
Form
It is going to be a short film around 5-10 minutes long, it needs to be entertaining as stated earlier. To meet the requirement for the length of time of the film should be we will need to introduce characters early and establish the setting quickly. This allows a long time to focus on story without being confused about where it is and who is in it. The story cant be too complex as it is only a short time that it will have to convey the story.
Target Audience
The product needs to be tailored to suit a target audience of 16-24 years old, this gives a very open place for genre and story and also content. The film can contain swear words and violence but they shouldn't be overused in a short film otherwise it will seem to reliant on those things.
Proposed budget
Provided that we only shot in one location the film should take between £500-£1000 per one minute of completed script this means the film should be estimated to cost anywhere around £5500 for the completed product.
Proposed timeline
The product is needing to be completed by the 31st October 2019 this means we should have completed planning by roughly July 13th and then filming should commence from that point onward to about mid August leaving around a month to edit the film to completion.
