Evaluation Q5

5 How did you attract/address your audience?

Do you think you have reached your target audience?

The target audience for our film are mostly males aged between 12 and 30 years old, the main character in our film is young and therefore younger people would be more interested in it as they can relate to him. The age certification of our film means that is not for people younger than 12 as the film has some violence and some strong language which isn’t appropriate for kids. We made the language in our film suited to attract a younger audience; older people may not understand some of the dialogue and may not be able to relate the characters in the film. Our audience would also have to have an interest in action/thrillers, so they would be familiar with the genre and enjoy going to the cinemas because the distribution of our film would mostly be at the cinemas.

 The setting of our film at the beginning is clearly at a college, we thought this would be a good place to film because many of our target audience would be able to relate to it or be familiar with it.

The sound we used in the film was very modern as we used an electronic sounding bass which again will appeal to younger people as that music is very popular with younger people today.

 The clothing we used in the film helped us create a sense of realism as everyone is dressed stereotypically to suit their character.

What was less successful?

Some of the camera shots in the film were less successful because we didn’t use some of the shots we planned to, which made it hard for some people to follow the story.

How could the work be improved?

The work that could have been improved was the narrative as it was not clear and some people found it hard to follow, we could have developed the plot more to make it easier for people to follow.
