Jacob Butterworth
■ The job of a camera operator and sound person is to
operate the equipment
■ They are to have knowledge of how to use the
equipment, so it is taken care of and their job is done
properly

working under the director
■ Camera operators must make sure shots are framed
correctly and scenes are shot how the director wants
them
■ There are different parts of sound department such as
boom operator, mixer and Foley artist . They make
sure that the dialogue is clear and the best quality
■ The camera operator is to work with the director to
work out how to shoot what is to be filmed to try and
achieve what they want it look like
 ■ We both produced separate ideas and worked to put them together
■ The idea was discussed a lot and we went over the plot until it made sense.
■ It will follow our main character going through the five stages of grief along
side the life they had before the incident and they life they have afterwards
■ The five stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and
Idea acceptance.
■ The film is about how they process their thoughts and feelings whilst going
through the five stages
■ The primary colours show the stage we are seeing them in.
■ For example: Yellow is the time before the incident, Red is the colour for
the incident and blue is used for all of the stages except acceptance
 ■ Our main goal is to communicate the emotions our main character is feeling
with the use of different colours through each stage of grief they go through
■ This is us playing around with colour theory
■ We are wanting to use colour theory to work better than the last time we
Our used it for the music video
■ We want to make people sympathetic for our character and follow them on
goals their journey whilst feeling for them.
■ Due to past experiences on set, we are wanting to have everything run
smoothly this time.
■ We want the short to look more artistic.
 ■ A Target Audience is the audience that filmmakers and studios have in
mind when making a film
■ A film must be assigned an age rating and tends to be made to fit into a
certain rating.

Target ■ Our target audience is people who are teenagers to young adults .In ages we
would put it to around fourteen to twenty-five.
Audience ■ The Official rating would be around a 12 or a 12A
■ Our short film touches upon themes of grief, depression and sexuality.
Therefore it is also for people within that age demographic who have been
affected by these three things and telling them that everything will be okay
and there is always hope.
