Week Three - Research

RESEARCH

What did you learn from your I learnt why people bully, what the psychological consequences
research? of bullying are and why victims sometimes don’t get help from
bullies. I will use this sort of research for my characters, The victim:
why he may get bullied, why he doesn’t tell anyone or get any
help and how he deals with. The bully: Why he bullies the victim
etc.

How has the research into your target My target audience is 15 – 18, in my idea I have tailored different
audience helped you improve your aspects things such as characters and music types. The majority
ideas? of characters will be teenagers at the age around 16 – 18 so that
the audience could relate to them better, the characters will talk
like most teenagers (slang) and listen to the sort of music teens
listen to as well since if the characters were 30 or above they
wouldn’t really suit the target audience that I have chosen since
they wouldn’t really use slang or listen to the same type of music
nor act the same way as other teens would recognise.

How has the research into your


platform helped you improve your
ideas?

How has researching characters and


actors helped you decide who to
cast?

What have you learned from your


test shoots? How will you use these
ideas in your production?

What work do you need to complete I need to complete research into different directors and how I will
outside of lessons to stay on track? try to imitate their directing/editing style.
High Grade Tips

Research
● ‘Thorough research’ - include plenty of sources and detailed analysis of this information
● ‘relevant & coherent’ – make sure your research sources are not just the same as the Media
product you hope to make - and talk about how they inform your planning
● ‘sustained’ – continue your research throughout the eleven-week project and don’t just limit it to
the first two weeks
● ‘accomplished & considered’ – all of the above referred to in your daily/weekly reflections
