1. EVALUATION QUESTION 5
How did you attract/address your target audience?
• Link to narrative theory – how did you try and engage with your audience (did you use an
enigma code for example)
• How did you attract your target audience in terms of your sound track, costume and
scenario choices? (support with stills from your film or MP3 file)
• What camera angles did you use to engage with your audience? (use stills from film as
evidence and analyse)
• Ask target audience members specific questions about your film such as do you think the
sound track choice helped to reinforce the eerie atmosphere? Film their responses,
upload and then analyse yourself.
• Also post feedback request on Facebook/YouTube and cut and paste then analyse
your responses. Would this have made you change anything? What could you have
improve to engage more with your target audience?
• EXAMPLE
This is what we have so far, however, there are a couple of shots missing and there
isn't any music added yet. We uploaded it onto facebook and youtube to see what
people thought of it how it was and if the messages that we wanted to convey were
conveyed effectively. By doing this in advance of the deadline it will give us a
chance to see if we need to make any changes and to see if we have successfully
made our film appeal to our target audience. Here is what we asked the audience to
comment on:
These are a mixture of the comments that we received:

2. Overall, I would say that most people thought that he was sinister (or that
something wasn't right about him) and that Mia was being portrayed as vulnerable.
A couple of people said that they didn't know that she was vulnerable until the end
of the opening two minutes when the pictures were displayed. However, I don't see
this as a bad thing because it means that within the opening two minutes it is
shown that she is vulnerable and we have successfully conveyed what we wanted
to.

Deleted First Scene
This was are initial first scene. However, after filming it we decided that we wanted
to change the scene because we didn't think that it worked well with our film and it
gave too much away. Moreover, as a group we felt that Leon falling on the floor
made it too comedic and drew attention away from the story line. Also, when we
compared this scene to our research on psychological thrillers we noticed that we
had introduced too many characters in the opening scene as most of the films that
we looked at stuck to introducing 1-2 characters. We uploaded the video onto
http://www.youtube.com/ and http://www.facebook.com/ as we wanted to know if
other people agreed with our opinions. These are the questions that we asked:
