Production Brief.

•Project name:
•Length: 90 seconds-2 minutes
•Deadline: 22nd January 2010
•Group members & their roles: Emily Dann, Luke Francis, Rob McDonald and Georgia Covill.
•Brief overview of content (approx 50 words): A man is getting haunted such as hearing things and things moving so this is what triggers his memory to when he was a child. He had done a wigi board with his friends and now something has come back to haunt him.
•Target audience (age group, gender bias (if any), socio-economic status and lifestyle profiling): Our target audience would be 15 years plus. The reason it wouldn’t be shown to anyone under the age of 15 would be because there would be physiological elements that may lead them to believe that there is an element of truth to the story. It would apply to males and females.
What comparable products have you researched? Other title/opening sequences of horror and other genres too.

•Identify any resource constraints (time, money, equipment, human resources) that might affect your production and your hopes for your product: Well money would be one as we cannot have expensive equipment and obviously time seeing as we have a limited amount but im sure we can do the best in the the time that we have.
