questi 5

How did you attract / address your audience
What appealed to our audiences
To find out what our audiences found appealing we as a group decided to research different genres and then see which genre is most popular, in addition to the genre research we also created a questionnaire in order to gain more feedback from our target audience.
Based on survey that has been posted on social networking sites such as Facebook we were able to gain some information in to how our film will be designed. There was a couple of questions on the survey which allowed us to mould the 2 minute film opening to be more appealing to the audience.
Audience feedback



These were some of the people that Sana Ash had surveyed for the purpose of our opening scenes. Theses were some of the questions we had asked the audience, we had implemented the feedback into our film opening which appealed to the majority of people that had been surveyed as we included the main points that was raised by them.


Was the Audience Satisfied?
I think the audience enjoyed the two minute opening for our film as it contained the cliff hanger situations and also included a twist in the plot which will keep the audience at the edge of their seat. This was the result we were hoping for with our opening for the film.
We could improve on some of he questions that had been asked in the survey as they were very generalised which meant it took us longer to process the survey and make any sort of decisions.

Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?


Our target audience will be those who are interested in the suspense of thriller movies and the excitement of horror films. The audience who enjoy being involved in the movie will be targeted by our film as it allows the audience to guess and interpret their own story before it all unfolds slowly. The reason for this combination of genres allowed us to get a wider range of people who enjoy the two genres. Furthermore these genre seem to complements each other and therefore it has similar characteristics as some horror and thriller films combined.
Sana had researched our target audience and below is the link of our typical target audience that may watch this film.

How does your media product represent particular social groups

We have four main characters within our two minute opening scene, one of those characters is the victim and is played by Iram Arbi another character is the killer and then there is the two detectives who are trying to solve this murder.
The killer has a negative representation as he is wearing all black and does not fully show his face, these characteristics show that he is a mysterious character and has been waiting for the victim to pass by. The detectives are the positive representation as they are the people who are trying to catch the killer and therefore are the opposite of the killer.

We have used a typical stereotype with the killer, a hooded stranger, most killers like to retain their identity so that they do not get caught.













Our detectives also have to typical stereotype of being dressed in smart wear and have and office block where they carry out the investigation. Above is a scene where the detective is at a desk, by doing this we are following the stereotype that many people expect when they are watchiinf films like this.
