EYES Pilot - Rough Cut 3
A new rough cut. Not much has changed with this one, as many of the changes were concerned with correcting elements of the audio.

Rise: A Reflection on Being Enterprising
What follows is essentially my final reflection or plea, if you like. I have put a great deal of work into this project and its holds a great deal of content. I will now allow it to speak for itself.
My attitude this year can best be summed up in the following image.
I would also like to take this opportunity to direct your attention to a resource that has had a huge impact on the project and changed the way in which I think about storytelling as a whole and my attitude towards making a living from that venture.
Synopsis:
The writer's guide was developed through the Australia Council's Story of the Future project to explore the craft and business of writing in the digital era. It includes case studies from Australia's rising generation of poets, novelists, screenwriters, games writers and producers who are embracing new media and contains audio and video content from seminars and workshops, as well as extensive references to resouces in Australia and beyond.
The Writer's Guide has been my bible while undertaking this module and formulating EYES.
Another resource that as had some impact on the project and my thinking in storytelling in general is Getting Started in Transmedia Storytelling. While the guide's strong emphasis on transmedia is not something that I have completely incorporated into my project (it was a strong component in the initial planning stages), you will see that it has still had an impact on my vision for the EYES web series.
By understanding the fundamental influences these guides have had on my thinking, you should be able to understand my intentions for the EYES project and my personal approach to the business aspects of the Creative Enterprise Project module.
My iPad ran out of memory while recording this, hence why it suddenly cuts off. However, I feel that it says enough and acts as a good introduction to what I have done artistically with EYES...
...as well as my intentions for doing so, from an enterprising point of view.
Collected in the notebook below are the online resources I've looked at in an effort to improve my professional image in relation to the module.
This seven month experience has been utterly exhausting, but undoubtedly rewarding!
I believe I have risen a great deal in the last seven months.
My attitude this year can best be summed up in the following image.

The End User: Target Audience Considerations
As I've noticed that the Creative Enterprise Project module has a strong emphasis on target audience, I felt that it would be good for me to present what I feel is the target audience for EYES and the research/reasoning that helped me deduce this.
As I said in the vlog, I term my target audience as being in the 'mostly young adult' demographic (mid teen - pushing through the 30s).
To understand the type of content I am trying to create for that target audience, see Rough Cut 2 - Reflective Commentary.
Below are the research and resources I spoke about in the vlog. These were invaluable in helping understand what a target audience is, how to identity one and how to create content designed for a target audience.
ReelSEO - The online marketing guide. This is quite literally a toolbox for young creatives like myself.
IPF Marketing Guide: How to Build an Audience for Your Web Series - a step-by-step guide for doing just that. However, the time window of the module would not allow me to follow the guide through and through, but the guide has made for good referencing in times of need.
Here are links to the two television shows I mention in the vlog: Twin Peaks and Being Human.
