Artefact 1 research

For my first artefact I intend to use an on-line questionnaire to ask people their opinions on film piracy.
The questions will need to be linked to my research document therefore I will think of 6-10 questions over the next few days.

In order to establish a variety of answers, I will use different techniques when writing the questions out.

Closed questions, open questions, leading questions and recall questions are some of the effective methods I could use.

External client project

For my external client project I have decided to collaborate with Chris Thorby, a good friend and more importantly, a passionate student who loves to make films. We have decided to enter the Bang film festival based in Nottingham. 

Our project and client: 

•Create a short film maximum of 16 minutes.

• A short film festival called ‘Bang!’ situated in Nottingham. The ‘Main event’ screens up and coming work from established and developing regional filmmakers, national and international work and always includes one or two major award winners from around the international short film circuit. Bringing short films to Broadway, Nottingham that we wouldn't get to see on a big screen anywhere else in the city.

•This section is often edgy, dark & provocative and shows the best of contemporary short films.

•The ‘Crash bang! Wallop’ event is an exciting afternoon of fun films, made by and for young people. Crash bang! Wallop is a mixed showcase of films for families; a veritable explosion of joyful colour, humour, animation, drama, fact and fiction.

•Films are welcome from all, including local young people, school pupils, colleges, community groups, as well as experienced film-makers from all over the country and around the world.

Our aims:

•Gives us a chance to see a film we’ve made screened to an audience and because it’s situated in Nottingham we can attend the festival.

•Creative freedom to produce a short film for our portfolio.

•A chance to meet like-minded filmmakers building a network of useful contacts.

•Earn recognition for our work.
