Short Film

Section 1Product research

We aim to achieve this type of a camera effect, it is black and white, grainy and not high quality.

We also aim to have a set of advise, we want to section our film by this and use some tips for the defenders.

Section 2Product research

The chosen genre of our short film is a black comedy horror based on zombies.

The research into different products has lead us to a range conventions to be done in our film, such as, the location of the shoot, the props and costume, and the physicality of the chosen actors.

The main element we’re trying to avoid is making our product come across as foolish and not to be too ambitious

Our research has told us that being humorous can be challenging and can easily be done wrong.

Section 3Audience

The target audience for our short film would be mainly teenagers and young adults. Aged around 15-25

The age restriction would be 15, this is to make sure we have a large an audience as possible.

We would mainly target a male audience, due to the violence involved in the short film.

Our target audience of the teenage and young adult between the ages of 15-25, would mainly consume other media types such as: Magazines Computer games Social networking sites Television (mainly comedy)

Section 3Research

Our research shows that from the choice of Zombies we gave them, that Zombie one was the most scariest/appealing. So the audiences expectations would have to be met by including some kind of uniformed Zombie.

Horror 1

Also in our research we paid attention to the comic side of Zombie/Horror films by asking “What word would you associate with a slow moving Zombie?” with the majority of people saying it’s a parody so this may be included but with violence to contribute to the dark humour of the film.
