For my visual affect I am planning to do it in my own room and create a green screen effect with my blank wall so there isn’t A lot of risks that can be taken whilst doing this maybe something like my phone breaking after not setting up the tripod properly or not being able to do the visual affect as I do not have premiere pro at home and I only have da Vinci resolve which is a great alternative but it’s not as easy to look up tutorials on YouTube on how to do affects such as my idea for a green screen effect where I crop out my plain grey wall and replace it with any picture I want.

What is a proposal?

A proposal for a product is where one person comes to a company with an idea of a product I want to sell and they have to pitch this to the company and sell them on the idea they have for a product. For example, the director of the film Thor Ragnarok (Taika Waititi) pitched his the idea for the film by showing pictures of what the film would look like through storyboards (which is very important when it comes to a proposal) with the song immigrant song by Led Zeppelin in the background to Marvel. They loved it so they let him direct the third film in the Thor franchise which ended up becoming the best movie in that series of films in terms of sales and reviews. Erik Swann .

Audience profile

•My audience is full of mostly people who answered my survey answered with cola as their favourite fizzy drink. •my audience had mostly Xbox’s as 55% of them had Xbox’s so it would be safe to assume that most of my audience likes video games.  •my audience when asked what’s better the grand theft auto franchise or the saints row franchise and surprisingly the less popular franchise won 60% while the other one was 40% showing my audience likes the comedy and action genres.  • 90% of my audience of my audience that answered my survey were male and only 10% were female so I should target males. •30% of my audience likes horror and also 30% likes  comedy and 20% like action along with 20% like thrillers so it’s probably best to target those genres in my project.  •when asked what is the best super hero film in the mcu 20% said avengers and 20% said other and most importantly 50% of people said ironman so I should focus on action and how this film was structured and filmed. • when asked wha

Research techniques

 Research techniques are different to research methods as techniques are just things such as keeping all of your research tidy and presentable for other people to read along with knowing how to store the data you collect from searching around such things as the Google or other search engines. These are very important skills that need to be learned when doing any sort of research. A form of research technique I have used recently is by using surveys, surveys are great way to get research as you can make charts on what certain target audiences want and things of that nature. And also it’s very efficient and time saving has you can get a lot of people to answer your survey and you get lots of data really quickly. Similar to surveys, interviews also our great way to get information and data as you get to know more about individual people in your target audience but the downside of it is that it takes more time. To store/keep all the information and data you have found out through various d

LA1:USE RESEARCH METHODS TO GATHER MATERIAL:QUANTITATIVE SURVEY

I seemed to find information about peoples interests so it would help me create a good media product. And so I went onto the website survey monkey to create a survey where I asked things such as what is the best energy drink, gaming console, video game franchise, place to eat, sport, genre of film, gender, streaming service, marvel film and finally how did they find the survey. Once I created this survey I continued to share the survey by sending the survey to others by using the application Microsoft Teams and from there they answered all my questions on survey monkey through the link on Microsoft Teams. All of the feedback I got from this survey and the people that answered it will help me to make a great media product.
