Unit 24 Assignment 2 Research Diary

Cast and Crew, Research Diary:

Ben Smith: Played by Freddie Poole












The Thug: Played by Liam Michael Klawza











The work Colleague played by James Howarth













Timetable:

Ben Smiths work starts at 8am.
He wakes up at 7:20am.
The train he gets comes at 7:30am.
It takes him 10 minutes walking to get to the train station from his house.
He usually wakes up at 6:30am.
When he gets to the train station the time is 7:35am.
He has 25 minutes to get to work.
His journey usually takes him 20 minutes by train.
It takes him 25 minutes by bus.
He misses the bus so he has 25 minutes to get to work.
Running would of taken him at least 40 minutes depending on his pace.
He gets a lift from his work colleague at 7:50am.
The traffic on the route they take isn't busy seen as they go down many back roads.
They make it to work at 7:59am.

Questions to inform the script:

£5.03 an hour is Minimum wage for an 18 to 20 year old. (X)

Since all he does is work he does have quite a bit of money, but he will live with his parents still seen as he doesn't really have that much money to move out. (Plus him being 18 there is no pressure or rush for him to move out from his parents.) His parents won't be in since his Mum is out visiting her Mum and his Dad works a night shift so he will be in bed. 


Trains cost £3.20ish for a single (Based on routes from Victoria train station in Manchester to Ashton train station.) His train route is irrelevant seen as he never gets on the train but since we would be filming in Gee Cross or Ashton it would be Hyde train station or Ashton train station going to Manchester Piccadilly (X)


He works in a shop in Hyde Mall so he will wear a suit. In Hyde mall there aren't many fancy shops but there are a few pawn brokers. One in particular that looks quite fancy called H&T PawnBrokers. People in that store have always been seen wearing suits. I know that this store has been hiring people before so it is quite feasible that a 19 year old could have a job at this Pawn Brokers. You would of finished College by 19 so he could have the necessary qualifications to work there. (Source: Common knowledge of Hyde) 







Locations

Hyde, Market Street near the Hyde train station for the missing train and bus scene (Publicly available):


Dowsen road for the alley way mugging scene (publicly available): 


Around Gee Cross for the car scenes. 

The workplace (Hyde Mall, he could work inside Hyde Mall we're just not shown what shop he works in.): 


Audiences:

My target Audience are teenagers. Around ages 13-20.

I know this because I know that this is the age group that tends to give up most after they are faced with something tough they tend to give up. My film is aiming to show them that even though it is hard you should try your best to succeed and never underestimate ability of your friends to get you through your problems.

I also know this because the film Unstoppable (X) has similar theme elements to the film I'm doing. It's got a guy who has a dilemma and needs to sort this dilemma out in a certain amount of time and he manages to do it by the help of his friend. The film Unstoppable is aimed at young people I know this because the film is rated a PG-13 and it has lots of explosions and fast action. So it's mainly aimed at male youngsters. But my film is aimed at young people in general.

The psychographics of my film are Explorers, I know this because this film is all about adventure and discovery, people who watch this film are looking to be enlightened. If they do look deep into it and see the hidden message.

The other Psychographics for my film are Mainstreamers. I know this because if you don't look into the hidden meaning of the film, it's a very generic, point A to point B in a certain amount of time film. Most people will enjoy this because it's what they are use to.
