Audience Profile
This project is intended to be viewed on websites, such as YouTube and Vimeo, as well as being viewed on televisions or big screens at film festivals. The finished project is intended to be viewed by both groups and individuals depending on how it is viewed. On the internet the audience will be individuals but with the possibility of a wide coverage due to the nature of the internet. Whereas at a film festival the audience will be a large group but the scope will be confined to the size of the attending audience.
The audience will be in a position of awareness of what they are about to watch. On line there will be a description alongside the video and at the festival there will again be some form of description in the festivals program. There will also be a description as part of the DVD box label. The finished project will also be advertised as a specific genre, science fiction. This means that the audience will already be anticipating certain conventions to appear within the film.
An audience can be found within the fantasy and Science fiction community, at film festivals and specific online groups. Also an audience can be found in short film enthusiasts, at festivals, as well as independent film enthusiasts.
Program Objectives
The informational objectives of the project are that it is a fictional film that shows how the human conscience copes with being confined for a prolonged period of time when the physical body is unable to move. It highlights the struggle between mind and body whilst both are put under extreme stress and how the mind decides to cope.
The behavioural objective of the project is for the audience to gain enjoyment from the story but to also enjoy the special effects work, for example the colourful vistas within the human mind and the futuristic setting inside the escape pod.
Finally the motivational objectives are to create a piece that advertises my skills as a director, cinematographer, special effects artist and motion graphics artist.
Content Outline
The film will begin with the destruction of a space station, resulting in one of the crew members escaping on an escape pod. During his time in the escape pod he becomes more and more uncomfortable in confinement, especially as he is unable to move to any great extent.
During his time onboard he is kept company by the varicose computers on board. One catches his attention more than others, the recently destroyed space stations AI (Artificial intelligence). As he befriends this AI, he begins to use his imagination to escape from the reality of the pod and venture in to the realm of his imagination.
His imagination is then the venue for him and the AI to meet in his created reality and eventually fall in love. As the story progresses he beings to spend more and more time in his created world, and before long, and without realising, he chooses to stay there.
When the pod drifts into an asteroid field and right into the heart of a battle his mind is dragged out of his world and back into reality. When the pod is hit all power is lost resulting in him losing his companion and love. His short attempts to bring her back are futile before long his pod is now picked up, his rescuers expecting praise and gratitude are instead met with remorse, anger and rage.
