MEDIA SoA
In my work, I will be focusing on making the main character "the protagonist" the focal point of all ads and promotional work for the television programme which will be airing on E4. I will distribute the media online so it can reach the desired target audience that is teens to adults, around 12-30, that enjoy the natural humour that I will aim for. The show will reflect the essence of other British television programmes that air on E4. The mode of address that I will use to communicate to my audience in promotional work and that would suit my audience will be informal because the genre of the film is comedy and most of the lines will be played as jokes.
I will be using Adobe Photoshop to create the DVD/Poster cover art. The DVD cover will show the main character “Protagonist" standing in the middle looking at the camera to show that he knows that he is going to be the main character, and to let the audience know that this character is aware that his life is a television show (which he does know by breaking the fourth wall). I will make the title the same for both poster and DVD which is a big red title with the word "THE PROTAGONIST". I will choose to make the art for the title big and red to show the boldness that the protagonist thinks of himself. On the back of the DVD I will put the blurb above different images that will be thumbnails of screenshots, my name and the other people that did help with any part of creating the final product will be on the back swell as the stars who will have their names on the front cover as well from the final production. On the spine of the DVD box, will simply be the title "THE PROTAGONIST". along with the age rating which would be 12. Red is a primary colour and it will look better on a dark background which the Protagonist will emerge from in his signature red hoodie to outline his character traits, thinking he is the main character and should always stand out. I will also include "THE ANTAGONIST" which is another character who will be the protagonist's unintended rival. He will appear to the side of him to show that he is not the main character. And I decided to make a subtle joke on the DVD art by putting the third character on the left which is the Protagonist again to give the idea that the show will definitely be about him, meaning he is both main and side character at the same time. The protagonist will take up a bigger portion of the print because he is the main character of his own world and to portray that to the audience I will make it so that he shows dominance.
I will shoot the video with the protagonist being in the majority of the scenes to make sure he gets as much screen time. The protagonist character will also have the ability to communicate through to the audience. I will edit the production in final cut pro (or another program similar) to make edits and add sound, music, and other visual effects. Even by cutting and slicing different clips together to speed up the pacing of the short.
