Target Audience Primary Research

Narrative Ending

For the ending of my narrative I have came up with a two slightly different ideas however as of now I'm unsure with what one to go with.

1. It ends as the protagonist with a decision whether to risk his life to save someone from a car crash, then it cuts to black before he makes a decision and you hear the noise of a car breaking and someone being hit, leaving the audience to decide who got hit by the car.
2. the protagonist remembers the location where the crash happened and waits to try and save who he saw in his dream. After a while no one turns up so he thinks that his premonition was fake and wakes home and as he crosses the road he gets hit and it turns out the person he saw get hit was himself.

To decide I could create an questionnaire to ask people which they think is best

Update
Ive decided to with 1 as i feel this will be easier to film as I wouldn't actually have to film someone getting hit by a car also it would create more enigmas as the audience wouldn't know who gets hit. 

location for filming

Most of my narrative is set in a house so I will be using my own house for filming however I do have one at the end where I need to find a small road and street for filming the last scene. I have some ideas for locations but I will need take pictures and upload them to my blog. As Im  filming in my house will need to be careful for continuity issues and make sure there is nothing in the background of shots so the audience won't get distraction from the main action. Sound isn't going to be an issue for the house scenes however the last scene is outside so I will need to be careful with wind and the quality of sound.

Similar Short Film Productions and Scenes

While I was researching similar short films I found it difficult to find films with a similar narrative however there were films with scenes similar to what I was going to create which inspired me.




I was very much inspired by the way in which the computer screen was recorded and the editing used to overlay the screen over the protagonists face which created a lot of tension as it gave the sense of someone always looking at you.




This short film has a similar concept to mine although the narrative is nothing alike but I felt it was go research to see how others went about Deja vu and re-living similar events. As this concept can get very confusing it is important to keep the audience informed of whats going on which i felt this film didn't do so in my production i will try too make sure that the narrative is clear.




I wanted to research how big production films also went about this concept and how to make the audience realize while the protagonist is still unsure(Dramatic Irony). Making events repeat was the convention of this production however I feel I will want to create more of a flashback effect.
