Evaluating my second initial idea



I will use a checklist I created when evaluating my research to answer the question; Does the film fulfil the requirements of the implied audience?

Characters the audience can relate to-
Yes, being set in a family setting my opening title sequence would introduce an 8-year-old girl, a 15-year-old girl and an older Grandmother (80+) 
Include horses-
Yes, the film is about the elderly woman when she was younger with her horse.
Portray a horse as a companion-
Yes, the storyline is about the bond between the woman and her horse.
Provoke emotion-
Yes, a challenge where the horse is possibly hurt could provoke emotion within the audience, whilst documenting a strong bond between horse and owner is almost certain to provoke emotion.
Feature a dog-
With the story being told as from a family home a dog will be key to the setting, as such.
Present a challenge-
Yes, the horse could go missing or another challenge such as the horse getting hurt could present itself.
Have a realistic storyline-
The film has no fantasy features and has a conventional family setting, meaning it is realistic.
Use music- 
Music will be key to effecting the mood of my audience and setting the mood of the particular scenes.
Show realistic horse behaviour-
Being a traditional pet horse the horse cast will be expected to display typical horse behaviours.

Are the any identifiable problems with this film/opening title sequence?

YES
  • Casting an older woman with the ability to remember lines still. This could be overcome by getting someone younger to play older.
  • Being the old woman talking about her past, we must be very careful with the Mise En Scene to ensure that no devices such as mobile phones are present in the footage supposedly from when the elderly woman was younger.
