Evaluation Q5

How did you attract/address the audience?

Here we asked 4 of our friends who have seen the thriller to comment about their likes and dislikes about our project.

The fact there was a lot of partying and drinking involved in our film would attract a teen audience. This is because it would mirror the stereotypical lifestyle of the teenagers in this day of age.

Also the fact there is a heartthrob leading actor may attract the female audience. We done this on purpose to attract the female teenage audience as they like to see someone they fancy at the cinema.

The conclusions i drew from each of these questions are as follows:

Q1) As a teenager how did our thriller attract you?

From this question we found out that the fact we had an all teenage class and a party atmosphere with up to date music and story lines interested the teenage audience as they could relate to the characters and the environment that they are in. The positives to this is that we keep the young audience interested and excited about the film. The down side to this is that adults may not relate to the characters and the environment that they are in. To improve my film i would add characters from different age groups so all people can relate to the characters.

Q2) How does our thriller hold the audiences attention?

We found out that the editing of our film is the main thing that keeps the viewer interested. This is a good thing as it shows that the editing of our film was successful in the way it kept the viewer interested in our film. This is bad in the way that we need other things like sound and mise en scene to keep the viewer interested as well. I would improve the music of our film if I had a choice to a more upbeat tune to keep the viewer interested.

Q3) Why would you watch our film?

This question showed us that the cast and storyline were the main reasons that people would watch this film. This is good because it shows that our storyline and casting was successful. There is no bad point to this response and i would not change anything if i had the choice.

Q4) Would you watch the rest of our thriller?

This question showed that 3/4 people would watch the rest of our film. This is good because the majority of the people interviewed were interested enough to watch the rest. This is a bad thing because not every person would want to watch the rest of the film. If i could improve the film I would ask the person who did not want to watch the film why they made that decision and act on their response.
