Evaluation, Task 5.

5. How did you attract/address you audience?

 As we established that our target audience was teenagers, in order to attract/address them we did this list of things, to ensure we captured their attention:

·         Kept our main character, and our two other characters dressed trendy and in clothing which is popular with everyday teenagers

·         Teenagers generally like to be different and the fact that the film holds a female antagonist may be intriguing

·         The settings are believable: a bedroom, and park/forest are sort of everyday environments for teenagers as opposed to if we had used an office and a museum.

·         We had our main character apply make-up (lipstick) before she left the house, which most teenage girls can relate to and holds a sense of mundane realism in out plot.

·         The bedroom was also girly and our character wears lots of jewellery which is something the audience and character may have in common.

·         The fact that we used a mobile phone and used pictures on the shrine which were Facebook pictures were used to hook a teenage audience, they live in a generation where technology is everything and we tried to subtly convey this within our work.

Also in order to atract our target audience, we placed our film on a social networking site, Facebook. From the comments we gained and gathered we knew we would be able to make any imnprovents of their suggestion to make it appeal to them. Also not only did our target audience comment and watch the film but also others did to and offered plently of consttructive critisism so it appeals to them.

Here are some quotes we gained when people viewed our video:

Richard Cumpstey good stuff mate! Thought it was well put together, music goes well with the film and I like the black and white theme! In terms of improvements the ending could be made a bit longer and you could fade in and out when changing view from the hills to her walking down the path, but overall good work! Just out of interest what did you have to do for your coursework? Could you choose anything you like?

Simon Matthew Turner Thats great dude, music with the black and white was awesome. You could fade out the ending, instead of it cutting out. That's all I can say really.
