Evaluation question 5 - How did you attract/address your audience?
We attracted our audience based on the results from our pre-production questionnaire where we handed out our summary of Click. By doing this, we were able to identify areas of our film that needed improvement.
In this screenshot from the results where we asked 10 people what genre they believed the film was, only four people believed that it was a psychological film, and even one person thought it was a crime film. These results helped us reach out and attract audiences as we changed aspects of our film to make it more identifiable as a psychological thriller and by doing so, it helped us attract an audience who were fans of that particular genre, as well as the horror genre as a whole. We believe that we achieved this as when we gave out our post production questionnaire, 8 out of the 15 people who were interviewed were able to identify the correct film genre - Psychological Thriller. As well as this, 3 people out of the 15 were able to identify that Click came under the horror category. This proves that the changes we undertook were successful as it made the film more addressing to the audience and what they would like to see on screen.
Additionally, in our pre-production questionnaire, we asked the 10 people if they could identify what certificate they believed the film was. 7 out of 10 people believed that the film was rated 18. With this information, we knew that we did not need to change anything to make out film appear within the characteristics of a rated 18 film. Through our post-production questionnaire we knew that this was the right decision as 8 out of 15 believed that the film was an 18+. This shows that our film was going to be more attractive to audiences around that age group.
As well as this, we made our film more addressing to audiences by using teenagers to play both the three characters and the body. We decided this would be a good idea because it makes the audience feel more anxious and scared while watching the film because the characters are around a similar age and are more relatable. This was proved right in our post-production questionnaire when we asked 15 people 'What emotion did you feel while watching this film' and 7 people said they were scared while 4 said they were anxious.
