Evaluation Question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?

From the results within our post production questionnaire, we discovered that we reached our intended audience for our media product.This is because from the responses given we found out that the majority thought our film was a psychological thriller, therefore as our target audience was people who enjoy psychological thrillers we reached that audience as that was the genre the film was assumed to be. Furthermore we found out that most people thought our film was rated 18 meaning we portrayed the film well for the age rating we aimed for within our target audience.

We believe that our film was a success because it gained the necessary emotions we aimed to create through specific use of editing,cinematography,mise en scene and sound. Most people were either anxious or scared which is the ultimate goal when it comes to creating psychological thriller's. Not only that, our film was a success because a majority of people said they would see it as a full film. This was because some people believed our film's plot was easy to understand and the story line overall was interesting and engaging.

However, from our post production questionnaire we discovered ways we could have improved are film. One way we could have improved our film was by adding darker effects to be able to establish the real feel for the film and create a darker tone which would have been more effective in bringing out a specific emotion. Furthermore, we should have created a longer, more developed and interesting plot for the beginning as finding the dead body was very sudden. Another possibility would have been making the end scene longer and more action packed to build a larger amount of tension and suspense.
