Using the Movie 'Tyrannosaur' to Develop My Narrative



How can you enrich your narrative?
After watching the movie, Tyrannosaur, I think I can enrich my narrative by following a linear structure as it is easier for the audience to follow and also avoids confusion. I can also enrich my narrative by building it up slowly when it comes to the climax in order to create tension and also makes the audience feel captivated and involved.

What elements can you add to bring your characters alive?
The characters in the movie tend to be very emotional and have a good relationship between each other which makes the storyline appear to be more believable and realistic. They also all have background stories that allow the audience to empathise with the characters as they are able to understand the situation that they came from. Another element I can add that was included in the movie is the use of villains who end up turning good.

How will you actively seek to serve your chosen audience?
I will seek to serve my chosen audience by making sure that the plot and storyline relate clearly to them, this can be done through the characters, for example making sure that they follow the users and gratification theory so that the audience would keep up to date with the series.

Production of Dracula's Sons (Merchandise)

I chose to use hoodies as a part of my merchandise for my TV series as typically my target audience are seen wearing hoodies. Baring this in mind I decided to use the hoodies as I know I could rely on my audience when it comes to purchasing this item. I am aiming for the hoodie to be done in different colours but for now I have done it in black and red. The black connoting the evil within the show and the red obviously being the blood. I also wanted to bring an element of youth within the hoodie also. I did this by writing 'Malville University' across the centre of the hoodie, the font that I had chosen also replicates the typical 'College' font used in most universities/colleges. I am aiming for my audience to buy a series of these hoodies however I will start by making the Malville University hoodies limited edition which would test out whether people would like the hoodies or not.
