Production Brief.
•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.
•What is the rationale behind this text?
•What representations will be operating in your text? Are these justified?
•How will you test whether the product is successful? How will you check that it accomplishes the intended effect? By showing an audience our product and getting them to answer a questionnaire. We then will be able to see if we get the right answers to know wether it had the intended effects.
•What generic codes and conventions will be operating in your text? The generic codes and conventions we will be using would be things like fast pace, quick shots, jumping, mysterious music.
•What are the overt (obvious) messages incorporated into the text? Death, survival, mystery.
•Are there any (hidden) messages incorporated into the text? The reasons why they are being haunted, how they are going to survive, who is after they 'innocent'.
•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.
