Evaluation - Question 5

EVALUATION – QUESTION 5

PHOEBE THOMAS

QUESTION 5 – HOW DID YOU ATTRACT/ADDRESS YOUR MEDIA AUDIENCE?AFTER CONDUCTING A SURVEY IN OUR RESEARCH, WE FOUND THAT TO ATTRACT A WIDE AUDIENCE, WE NEEDED TO MAKE OUR SHORT FILM AS REALISTIC AS POSSIBLE. WE DID THIS BY MAKING THE PLOT AND SITUATION QUITE RELATABLE AS MANY TEENAGERS HAVE A PARANOIA/FEAR OF PEOPLE FOLLOWING THEM. WE ALSO MADE OUR SHORT FILM REALISTIC BY MAKING SURE THE CAST INVOLVED WERE OF A SIMILAR AGE TO OUR TARGET AUDIENCE AND ALSO THAT THEY ALSO DRESSED AND BEHAVED IN A SIMILAR MANOR TO HOW WE THINK OUR TARGET AUDIENCE WOULD. THE LOCATION OF MAJORITY OF THE SHOTS OF OUR SHORT FILM SEQUENCE WAS IN A TUBE STATION, THIS IS ALSO RELATABLE TO OUR TARGET AUDIENCE AS MANY TEENAGERS USE PUBLIC TRANSPORT EVERYDAY. WE DECIDED TO USE A LOT OF CLOSE UPS OF OUR CHARACTERS SO THE AUDIENCE COULD REALLY EXPERIENCE ALL THE EMOTIONS AND TENSION THE CHARACTERS WERE FEELING AND ALSO WE USED QUITE A LOT OF P.O.V (POINT OF VIEW) SHOTS SO THAT THE AUDIENCE COULD EXPERIENCE FIRST HAND WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO BE IN THE CHARACTERS PLACE AT CERTAIN POINTS.

FEEDBACK I GOT FROM VIEWERSI asked some people

to watch the short film opening and to tell me what they thought about it, the screenshots to the side are what my friends said when I asked them and this is what they said, I also have some quotes from other people about what they thought.

" I think it was good, it looks like it could be the start of a really creepy film or TV show, I think the guy following the girl was really creepy and it made me feel really uncomfortable, I would go and see this film if it came out in the cinema though" – Carole Goodyear Other comments can be found below.
