Evaluation-How did you attract/address your audience?

Once we had decided and established that our film was targeted at teenagers, in order to help address and attract them to watching our film, we had to do some of the following to do this:

• In the film, we had to make sure that locations were what teenagers recognised
• The characters in the film we had to make sure they suited roughly the same age as the teenagers wanting to watch the film
• Also in the film, the characters would wear up to date clothing, this is to show that it's not set in the past and that they won't lose interest of the film
• In the film, there is use of a mobile phone, this is technology today that teenagers use daily
• It also shows in the film the girl putting listick on before she goes out, this is a typical thing teenage girls do before they go out
• Girl character wearing jewellery, something the audience may have in common

Also to help attract audience to watch our film on the genre horror, we had to show some of the conventions that relate to the genre. In the film we use a 'knife' this is a typical convention that is obtained in horror films, therefore the 'knife' shows affect, they are also typical weapons used when someone is murdered, 'Scream' is a good example of this. Also in the film, to show conventions that makes it relate to horror, the style of music in the background used, it was weary music which kept you thinking and it sounded like something traumatic was going to happen, however the audience was waiting and didn't know. Also there is a killing in the film production we have made, this is intendly meant to happen in a typical horror film, this shows more of the conventions and helps relate our film production to horror.

To publish the film to the audience I uploaded the film to Facebook and Youtube. I also told people about the film and also showed people, however I do not have the feedback on just showing people the film, however, I do have some feedback which let on to the audience.

Youtube

Here is the feedback from Youtube. I uploaded the video and since the upload, unfortunately it only got 18 views, no comments were left but this was the only information from Youtube I obtained.

Here is the feedback from Facebook. As you can see, there has been 45 likes which suggests that people have watched and liked the film. This shows positive results on the film. Also, the film has had comments left, it has a range of different comments, therefore feedback from people have been left and we have their views of the film.

From the amount of views obtained on both uploadings, it showed that people (mainly teenagers) were interested in watching the production we had made. From the comments given back on facebook, it helped me and my group know what problems there could of been and therefore if we had to go back and adjust the film. So all the feedback given was very helpful.
