Time line - Juno

 In class we all looked at the opening squeeze of the  film 'Juno', and on a timeline chose an area to study, I did editing. Above is a photo of what I wrote.

This will be important for post production so we can make our own timeline - so when I start editing I know what to put where.

Story board

Here is the story board of our work so when it comes to filming we know what to film when, and what angles to use. It will also be helpful when it comes to post production and editing.

Audience profile

This is Brandon. He is 18 years old. He is a university student studying Digital media. He spends a lot of his time watching films, and independent films. H enjoys listening to many indie bands such as Bombay Bicycle Club and Amber run. His favourite pass time is editing videos.

He would be someone who fits in our target audience as he watches a lot of independent British films.











The purpose of my audience profile is to show what type of person my target audience is, for my video and genre. So I can ensure that my video is suited for them the most, and when they give feedback I can adjust it to make it more appealing for them and the rest of my target audience.

60's research

For our opening sequence we have the idea of setting it in the late 1950's/ early 1960s. So I thought it might be a good idea to do some research around that time. Here are some iconic events/people from the 1960s.

The Beatles:

Probably the most Iconic band from the 60's are the Beatles. They were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960. Members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr,  became widely regarded as the most influential band of the rock era.

• Martin Luther King Jr. Makes His "I Have a Dream" Speech (1963)

  

  250,000 people at March on
  Washington

   The Civil rights Movement reached a climax with the March on Washington in August, 1963. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech to 250,000 people. After the march, the Civil Rights Movement continued on and grew increasingly. To this day, it is one of the most, if not the most, Iconic speeches in history.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Our pitch

The other day Liv, Tom and I pitched our idea to the class. About the idea of us doing an independent drama. This was very helpful as we got feedback on what could improve our idea and what was already good about it. In fact all of the comments seemed positive. They all seemed to like our ideas of using bike shots and band shots and they enjoyed the originality of our idea.

50's research

For our opening sequence we have the idea of setting it in the late 1950's/ early 1960s. So I thought it might be a good idea to do some research around that time. Here are some iconic events/people from the 1950's;

Vietnam war began:

Even though our opening sequence has absolutely nothing to do with the war I thought it would be important to address that it started around this time as it might be in small parts of mise-en-scene or script.

Rock and Roll:

Rock and roll is a form of popular music that evolved in the 1950's from rhythm and blues, characterised by the use of electric guitars, a strong rhythm with an accent on the offbeat, and youth orientated lyrics.

Elvis:

Elvis Aaron Presley was an American singer and actor. He is probably one of the most significant Rock and roll icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as "the King of Rock and Roll", or simply, "the King".

 

Grace Kelly:

Grace Kelly is an American actress who married the price of Monaco. She influenced many female fashion and hairstyles.

 

 

Buddy Holly:

an American musician and singer/songwriter who was a huge icon of mid-1950s rock and roll.
