Research and planning

Audience Research

I decided to carry out my research on google forms as it is an easy platform to create a questionaire and it is also clear and simple for people to fill in and complete the questionaire and provides clear data and the opinions of the respondants. My results are shown below:

Pulp Fiction, Opening Sequence

Pulp Fiction is a

0:03: This shot showing a man and a woman sitting at a table in what looks like a diner tells the viewer alot about the situation. "Forget it it's too risky, i'm through doing that shit" this dialogue by the man on the right may also tell us that they might be some sort of criminal. The camera is also angled towards the man showing he is the most dominant out of the two and he will most likely be talking the most. He also has very relaxed body language and is smoking a cigarette. This shows the viewer two things about the situation, that it is based in the past as he is smoking a cigarette in the diner and that he is very comfortable with his surroundings as his body language indicates.

 0:25: Once the two have discussed whether to do what ever they are talking about the woman on the left of the table states that the man on the right 'sounds like a duck' and proceeds to make quacking noises. This is her way of taunting the man on the right into getting him to do whatever they are planning or discussing.

Prelim Task

In the prelim task we briefly planned a basic plot in the form of a mind map that would intrigue the viewer. We then established who would play each character. We then developed and mapped out each scene on a story board. This allowed us to work out the camera angles we would use for each scene. This process limited the amount of mistakes we made and meant we would waste less time.





Camera angles
In the prelim task we used a range of camera angles to enhance the feeling of tension and suspense. It opens with a pair of feet that look like they are tied up. We also tried to give a wider perspective to the viewer by using a range of different camera angles and shots. For example we used a close up, medium shot, high angle shot and an upwards pan.
