Question 2 Evaluation

Question 1 Evaluation




Q5-Evaluation



How did you attract//address your audience?

From our research tasks and analysing our favourite title sequences we came to a conclusion that our film opening appealed to our target audience by 

Its style/ look of the title credits:

Firstly, the style of title sequence was very simple this was because our title sequences was a horror genre, this has more of a serious touch to it. However if we played around with the look of it too much, we would've made it look animated, then the touch of a scary movie would be gone, and the whole purpose of our movie would be lost.

Mise-en-scene:

Our mise-en-scene is very appealing to our target audience this is because of the stereotypes behind horror genres. 

The setting was a forest, consist of a lot of greenery and wood-like surroundings. These all contribute to the idea of a scary atmosphere and the horror factor. 

The camera angles used were a range this also appealed to our target audience as it is showing a range views from different perspectives. Such as birds eye view, over the shoulder, medium shot, establishing shot.

Actors/Actresses:

Our actors/actresses most definitely appealed to our target audience. This is because our target audience people aged 16-21 and the wider audience being 16-5 year olds. The characters used were a real representation of the normality of our audience. It shows the everyday life styles, the dangers, it allows them to become the character emphasis with the our film even more. Almost feel every emotion, making the movie a little bit more realistic. 

Storyline:

Our storyline appeals to our target audience very much so, as it is showing the everyday life of a girl whose life has rapidly just changed,  and our target audience are young teens so once in there lifetime something has happened and changed them, either for the good or bad. 

Sound track: 

Our soundtrack is very appealing to our audience as it goes well with our clips shown on the screen at the time. The sound track was very fitting to the horror genre as it includes all the conventions needed to create a scary emotion to the audience. 


The role of the rough cut feedback:

The rough cut was very important in helping us make sure we got the most important things included in our title sequences, for example make sure we actually have the title credits put in place. It was very clear and evident to see that as a group we were slacking with our editing sessions as we really were just focusing on the blogging part and needed to invest more time in the edit to make sure everything made sense. As in the rough cut it was clear to see that the shots were not in order which therefore made our film look cheap and unorganised. 

looking back at what we had for the rough cut we had time to reflect  about the fact that the shots we had were they conforming to our stereotypes where they what we wanted, where they most importantly conventions of a horror movie. It was also clear that our film had many necessary

Editing Task 48




In today's lesson its the 19th and we decided to get some feedback on our work from our teacher Dan.
We came to a conclusion that some of the scenes we we captured looked a bit cheap and we could improve it by re-filming, and holding the camera still.
