LO2: Character Profile

Hello! My name is Oliver and i'm 15 years old! My favourite hobbies are collecting action figures and a variety of merchandise related to my favourite films and TV shows, such as Game Of Thrones, Supernatural and Star Wars. I also enjoy playing Dungeons and Dragons with my friends on a Friday night and watching Anime. I'd describe my fashion sense as gothic but casual, I tend to wear a lot of dark colours such as dark purple, deep red, grey and black. I don't enjoy going to school so I always draw in class and put my headphones in, and as soon as I come home I play on my Xbox and go online to speak to my friends.

LO3: Task 4: Legal and Ethical Issues




There isn't many legal issues that would be involved, a part from the fact i would want to use background music and sound effects, and if i didn't make them myself i would need permission to use copyrighted music and sounds. If i wasn't able to use the music or sounds desired, i would create the sounds effects and get permission from a local artist to record and use their music.

One ethical issue that maybe considered could be the stereotypical way i made my main character look female, by showing aspects of the characters figure. I would be able to scrap my whole design and start from scratch creating it to look more appropriate for the audience.

LO3: Task 4: Moodboard and Target Audience.


Target audience: My short animated film would be targeted at young teenagers, mainly females as the film would have a strong female lead. They would watch films such as Nightmare Before Christmas and Lord Of The Rings. They would watch TV shows such as American Horror Story and Supernatural. They would have an interest in magic, mythical creatures and anything fantasy.
