Evaluation - Audience

Evaluation

Our target audience is teenagers and people who are around the ages of 16. We are teenagers and we can relate to what they may want to see in a film. The props and costumes the characters are wearing, the audience can relate to it this is why our target audience is people our age. Moreover we have attracted our target audience by making the storyline easy to follow and understanding as the situation of them being bullied, bullying someone or witnessing someone being bullied would occur around the same age our main character Daniel was bullied by Sasha. This defeats the theory that boys are stronger than girls because boys are supposedly stronger but Daniel had obviously been affected by Sasha's action which caused him to live a double life in seeking revenge on her.

In addition to this we researched what teenagers find interesting and what they would like to see in a film, most search results came up with results such as killing, blood, jump scenes etc. So, as a group we decided in the 2mins we had to film that we would try to include some of these categories that our target audience is interested in.

In the two minute opening of our film we tried to engage our audience by using different angles shots, for example the POV (Point Of View) shot was used frequently this was so the audience could view everything through the killers eyes. The soundtrack choice allowed us to build tension as it made the audience question what would happen next. The ending of the two minute film was a cliff hanger, we aimed to make sure our target audience needs were met. I interviewed a student and ask what they would like to see happen in a psychological film. And the student suggested the main character living a double life. We tried to use this in our film by making Daniel seem normal to the public eye even though he was not mentally well.

We would make changes such as what location we used for Sasha's murder, maybe the use of a dark basement would have caused more affect on the audience. Making them feel sympathy for Sasha even though she had brought this upon herself. To continue to attract our audience I think we would include more jump scenes as seen at the ending of the film, Daniel was holding a list of names meaning he would have continued to murder until the last victim on his list was dead. For each murder we would have made the killings different so that the audience would still be engaged and not get tired of the same cycle of how he kills his victims.
