The document summarizes the process of creating a short film called "The Future". It discusses research conducted on target audiences and other films. Planning involved location scouting at the director's house and using a photography camera for stop motion. Ancillary tasks included a poster and magazine. Feedback indicated the film challenged conventions and that sound quality could be improved.

3. Research Studied magazines to help with our ancillary task. We did research on our target audience by looking at the genre of films that they would be watching. Varied the genre of short films that we studied. Research, the impact on our production By comparing the ideas that people had used to our own film. Looked at different posters to get an idea for our ancillary tasks.
4. Planning The location Recce was done mostly at Megans house. As she had the props there. As it was stop motion we used a photography camera. Which was easier. Planning the impact on our production The idea for our film came from looking at how many people value there phones and other new technology that comes. Gave us time to see what shots would best fit our production. Voice over’s and the soundtrack were decided beforehand so it made it easier when editing.
7. Evaluation/Reflection We used PowerPoint and word to do most of our planning work and research. Also the internet for research and communicating to each other. Used a camera for filing. A photography camera for stop motion. We went against the normal genre conventions, as we didn’t follow any of the ideas. Experimented more in A2 than AS. When the movie poster and the magazine are seen with our film then the audience can automatically make a link. We also challenged the forms of media products. From the audience research we leant that we need to work on the sound.
