Assignment 3 – Blog Post 3

This week we have created two character profiles which describe details about all the characters that will be featured within the promotional video and information about their personal lives. This information is vital to produce the promotional video as the producer and director need to be able to access this information about the cast who are involved within the video so they can insure they are suitable for the role they are playing. The character profiles also help the producer and director to form a closer relationship with the cast and crew as they will know more about them and will know what to expect in different situations. The character profiles may alter how the script is written for these characters for it to suit them or suit the way they work. Character profiles also allow the producer and director to be made aware of any special assistance that these cast members may require during filming to perform to their full potential.

We have also created a draft and final copy of the script that will be used during the promotional video to promote the festival and attract a local target audience. The script is persuasive and attracting to a local target audience to convince them to get involved. It will be Elizabeth and Lauren that present the promotional video using the script provided and the script will be divided evenly between the two cast members. The script has been designed to be chatty but also engaging to the desired target audience to get as many people involved with the advertised video as possible.

We have also created a costume and make up design with specific colours and explanations as to why we have chosen these designing and why we believe these will be appropriate for our promotional video. I have created hand drawn designs which include two detailed costume designs and analysis’ per personal in the video, alongside a face chart in which shows the make-up that will be used on each person, depending on the colours they are wearing.

A character profile and a script are both important aspects to the pre-production process of the promotional video because they help to make the video as engaging as possible which could potentially engage more people and encourage more people to become involved within the production of the festival.
