Evaluation questions 7

7) looking back to your preliminary task, what do you feel that you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

during the planning process of our task, we had learnt that we needed to have a set genre in order to attract a certain audience, our storyboards helped us greatly as we needed to know the different areas that we would be shooting in and the different shots that would be needed.

The shots that we included in our film have improved, the shots that are included in our film are the best shots for that particularly clip. The shots give a good view of all the characters and keep within a good boundary of being to wide or to short. We had a match on action clip but we could not include it in our film because the clip was to blurry and we didn't have time to re film it. We used a good camera shot for the scene were the "stranger" knocks on the door, it is effective because it follows my character from leaving my room to opening the door downstairs but also zooms into other things happening around me.

I think that we are allot more confident around the equipment now, we can get what we want done allot quicker than we used to and allot better.

We feel that our main product came out exactly how we wanted it to, if we could change anything we would of put higher lighting on the "strangers" face when he knocks on the door because when we rendered it out in medium quality you cant see the face at all.

6) what have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product

We have both learnt how to work a camera properly, we have learnt how to zoom in and zoom out, switch on into night mode, watch and delete previously recorded clips of the camera itself. We had a problem with our first idea for our film because it required us to to film out side when it was dark, we didn't know how to put the camera into night mode so we had to re think our idea completely, we also had a problem with one of the cameras, when we first pressed record the camera would be out of focus so we had to zoom in fully and zoom back out to put it back into focus. we learnt various things about final cut, we learnt how important clips from a camera cut video clips to make them shorter, fade in and out videos and music clips. We also learnt how to import our production logo from photoshop and how to convert our final film into different formats.

Evaluation questions 5

How did you attract/address your audience?
one of the ways in which we attracted our audience is was by, making our film appeal to them, we did this by looking at different types of audiences and examined what type of movies they would like to watch, our particular film attracts audiences that like horror/ thriller genres and we have incorporated these elements to attract that audience, also we looked into what our audience would like to see in a horror/ thriller movie to get better ideas on how to achieve what the audience need, we had found out that our particular audience liked elements of suspense and scary build ups that would have them on the edge of there seats. we took this on board and have utilized this area to attract our audience by using various diagetic sounds that build up and add suspense to our film. our target audience for our horror film are class E people aged 12-30 as the actors in the film are young and are in the same class, this also allows our audience to relate to the film and to be engaged.

4) Who would be the audience for your media product?

The audience for our film would be 15-26 year olds and a mixed audience of gender split 60/40 boys to girls, the class range for our film would be middle. For our primary research we created various questionnaires and surveys and gave them to people different ages, from our research we found that mainly young people aged between 15-30 would like to watch our horror film, with a mixed audience of 53% male and 47% female. For our secondary research we used pearl and dean to further research our target audience, we got the audience profile for paranormal activity and wolfman, we found that both of there audience's had a higher percentage of men than women and that 15-24 year olds were the biggest audience profile, DE was the class that viewed this film the most. From this research we have found that our audience will be mainly male and the age group will be 15-24.
