Q5 Evaluation

Q5) How did you address/attract your audience?

I feel that we have successfully appealed/targeted our audience to the best of our abilities. I feel that as we have targeted our audience during the production of our film, this gave us an advantage when wanting to attract them to watch the actual film. We sent out various questionnaires through social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, asking them for feedback and for them to send the message on to who ever they felt would be attracted to our film. We also posted our final product on YouTube, as this is where nearly all videos are viewed.

Here are a couple of examples of the types of questions asked in our questionnaire. As shown by our feedback the results from the questionnaires handed out to our work colleges and students on our media class.

These results show how as we predicted our film was a 15. our peers are also in the same agre category as us (16-17) and so can relate to the character they are watching on screen.

This question asked what our audience though of the camera shots used in our film production. Positive responses such as 'Loved it' and 'fab' shows clearly how the intended camera shots worked successfully within our psychological horror  as we were unsure if they would understand are clever and twisted plot which was clever shown through some intelligent camera shots.

When originally researching into the psychological horror genre we found out what shots were common or typical of the psychological horror genre, and we included as many of these shots as we could.

One of the most stressful parts of our media production is knowing if our audience understood the story line. So we set a question on our questionnaire to see if are audience did. As shown we got the perfect response, as out films ending was left partly ambiguous, we would understand if parta were misred, or rather 'left to their own interpretations' such as Danny Boyle films.

To further attract out target audience we included a clothing range that would appeal to other peers our age.

I feel that if were wanted to appeal or address to our audience more then we should have included more contextual shots in out film such as perhaps the friends around a fire to establish their groups friendship, before all the violence plays out. Additionally I feel some more shots that are commonly used is psychological horror genres would have made the film more appealing to our audience as they might have become more frightened, which is what our film wanted to achieve.
