1. My ideas Lydia – b2

2. Sunderland culture bright lights Sunderland culture are co-operating with bright lights to try and bring more of a cultural spark to Sunderland . The festival is supported by Sunderland culture and the exhibition has been curated by the Celebrate Different Collective, a group of young people aged 13-25 from across the city who co-produce and run their own cultural events, work with artists and learn new skills. The mask making workshop is run by Autism In Mind, a group supporting autistic adults without a learning disability in  sunderland , South Tyneside and Northumberland in this project my aim is to supply people with an insight into Sunderland culture. Sunderland culture – bright lights campaign Having evolved over the last 26 years, Bright Lights Youth Art Exhibition, has been a platform showcasing young artists aged 11-19 at Arts Centre Washington and over the last few years has been curated by Celebrate Different Collective.

3. Target Audience I am going to be targeting towards 16–24-year-olds. Sunderland brights are trying to engage up to 36-year-olds. I however would like to bring this bracket down as I really want to engage and persuade a certain target audience. To target a specific audience, I have to make sure that I am engaging them with a subject they are interested in. according to my audience surveys my TA agree that they enjoy music, documentaries, football gaming and more. However I have a female dominated audience , and most of my female responses include something to do with music artists or instruments. I would love to get my peers as involved with music as I am. There are very few music venues in Sunderland it is very hard to make it into the music industry coming from a place with a small music scene. Therefore engaging an audience with this can highlight the culture of Sunderland and hopefully expand the music scene with my short film.

4. My initial idea My initial idea is to engage people in a short film highlighting the music culture in Sunderland. I am going to do this buy following the life of a girl over some time , demonstrating how music progresses through this time as she discovers her love for instruments and wants to develop this further. She realises that she wants to try writing songs which them progresses to singing and playing instruments. I would really like to show her love through music collections as well. I will then include what it feels like to build up confidence to perform at a local music venue. I will maybe end this on a cliffhanger that finalises the short film as I really just want to showcase how it feels to be an upcoming musician in Sunderland and how there is support networks available as the music scene is starting to grow in the area.

5. Inspiration Taylor swift – all too well (short film ) https://youtu.be/tollGa3S0o8?si=AC9-T50qPs5jVAse - all too well is a short film made to compliment her song all too well . However, even though produced for a music video the short film itself is inspiring as it not only goes side by side with her song it also has a beautiful and scary story. Starting off with a happy couple it shows the challenges that come along with a relationship and goes from a positive equilibrium, that puts the watchers and listeners into a safe and happy environment that soon turns sour showing the arguments including domestic violence that foresees into the new equilibrium showing change within life and growth. The story is very well matched however the cinematography is very inspiring to me as other than the song it is a silent short movie. The emotions and the story are highlighted well. All the shots are to capture the feelings of the actors which is portrayed very well. Therefore this is my main inspiration.

6. Inspiration Pink Floyd – the final cut ep short film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C9TOqGTMyw This production from pink Floyd includes multiple clips that go hand in hand with their album PINK FLOYD released in 1983. it shoes a variety of clips from old movies to personal clips. This is an inspiration from me as the story portrayed shows the beauty of old music. It has a lot of edits in it. The cinematography highlights lots of different aspects of their music. It has sections where the music stops to highlight certain points in the movie. It is an inspiration to me as it uses multiple clips to pursue a vision.

7. Inspiration After hours – the weeknd - in this short music video film, the weeknd explores themes of heartbreak, loneliness self-loathing and regret. This is all portrayed through the angles and the colour of the scenes, showing a deep red for anger and blue for sadness. This all represents his feelings. This is also done through the music and the background breaks to build a suspense promiscuity feeling. Short films – https://youtu.be/oq9AgxHvGjw Documentaries – The moonage dream bowie - this is a documentary based on the life and experiences of David bowie and how he rose to stardom. It shows the challenges that he faced growing up and how it has impacted him and his actions throughout his life. IMBD state “"Moonage Daydream" is David Bowie in celluloid form - artistic, weird, and constantly shifting its identity in a way that can only be described as psychedelic. It is an overwhelmingly cinematic experience, as pure a combination of sight and sound as could ever be achieved.”
