Statement Of Aims

My audio visual is a mockumentary called Bigfoot, it is like the normal documentaries about Bigfoot but with a twist, where Bigfoot is actually a person. The locations that I will be using are the woods for the first part to make it look like a normal documentary and then use public areas after finding out that Bigfoot is just a person. I will be using a variety of shots that suit the specific scene like wide shots in the woods or upper body shots in the public areas. In some mockumentaries, they use poor camera movement to make it look like what is currently happening seems real instead of having clean camera movements which makes it feel like a film and feels fake. So, to make my mockumentary look real, I will use some bad camera shots and movements so it feels unprofessional and more real, in addition, the characters in the mockumentary will wear their casual clothes and not pre planned clothing so it helps the feeling of being real. I believe that Levi-Strauss's theory of binary opposites helping forward the narrative relates to my mockumentary however Bigfoot and human isn't complete binary opposites but I think it is a big enough of a difference to help develop the story. Bigfoot is mostly focused towards the age group between 18-24 as  their age group usually have watched a real documentary about Bigfoot so watching this will be more funny compared to other age groups that haven't watched a Bigfoot documentary before. It is supposed to be silly with dry humour which I think will be most entertaining for my targeted age group as younger and older audiences probably don’t watch mockumentaries.

My magazine is called Context and the front cover will have a bold title in white and masthead in yellow at the top in sans serif font to contrast well with each other. For the main picture of the magazine, I was initially going to have the official poster of Bigfoot which is a human footprint which has many messages behind it however usual magazines has a picture of person relating to the main topic of the magazine. So instead now I am going to have a picture of an upper body shot of me, it will have quotes around my head about Bigfoot, it will also say that I made the new mockumentary, what show it is on and what page it is on to read more. At the bottom half of the front cover will be smaller tv and film topics and what pages they are on so they can see more about them. There will be a cover price and barcode in the bottom left corner as they aren't really important and don't need to take up too much space. The front cover is still focused on the age group of 18-24 as the front cover is mainly about my mockumentary which is specifically for 18-24's but also the smaller topics on the front cover are topics that 18-24 yr olds would be interested in as well.

On the left page of the double page article will have a sans serif headline. The first paragraph will start off with the date and what channel the mockumentary is on and then a very brief explanation of the topics, characters and narrative. The second paragraph will be a behind the scenes feature where it has answers of the presenter from an interview, the answers will give an exclusive view of how the mockumentary was made and how difficult it was to make. The two paragraphs will be layout next to two pictures of a scene from the mockumentary. The other page will have the official Bigfoot poster filling up the whole page and at the top will have the title “Bigfoot” which is in the middle of the two pages. The double page article will give my targeted audience an exclusive view onto my mockumentary, the way the page is laid out is suitable for 18-24 because, a more messy layout with little text would be for younger audiences and a very formal layout with lots of writing is usually for older audiences so mine is in the middle so its right for 18-24 yr olds.
