CCR #2 Script

     In this second CCR we will be answering the following question:

" How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?"

When writing the script I used the following tips and tricks to answer this question:

- Discuss how you arrived at your target audience, cite necessary research

-Discuss how your production choices, content, etc. work to engage with your target audience

-Next, discuss how you plan to make your film available to audiences

-Responses should address realistic options for an amateur filmmaker. For example: you would not release your film worldwide to theatres, this is only an option for major productions

    Once I knew what to do I began to write my script:

    When we first began our portfolio project we first had to create the idea of our film and research the genre. When we chose horror we had to do a lot of research. That is when we found that the target audience of most horror movies are individuals from the age of 15 - 25. This is because people at a younger age often enjoy thrills rather than and older person, like when have you seen a 55 year old ride a roller coaster, and I mean coaster, not a kiddy coaster. We felt that our film wouldn't follow the common 15-25 year old target audience because we felt that it was a little more mature because of the drinking. There for we believe that it would 17 - 25, because the older audience could relate to the film more. We also felt that this way we could engage our audience more by having slightly more mature topics. An example is alcohol, most 15 year old's don't go out to parties and drink illegally. But when people become older and become more mature, it is more common to see people go out and do these activities. This way the target audience is more likely to have some experience with handling alcohol, this would help them make a connection with the film.

    When it comes to the future of our film we are hoping to get this shown worldwide. Obviously we are all small upcoming actor, director, and filmer/editor. Our idea is to submit it to many film festivals around the country. The ones we are entering in are the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival, Miami Film Festival, New York Film Festival, and Austin Film Festival. If we are successful we hope to sell CDs to make some money so we can push our film out more, and continue participating in these festivals until we gain some attraction. Then we would host a "private" showing in a theater such as Cinemark. After this we would keep on doing this until it impossible to keep going because it is our dream to be film makers.
