The document discusses the target audience for a 2-minute film opening created by the author. The intended audience is people aged 16-25, as they are most likely to watch action films. Feedback was received from 10 people in this age group. They generally liked the chase scenes and actor performances. Suggested changes included adding background music, shortening some scenes, and using a tripod to improve stability. Based on this feedback, the author would work on pacing, transitions, and filming skills if making the film again.

1. Question 4&5

2. The audience for my media product would be people aged 16-25 which are the main age group which go to
the cinemas. This is because my film is an action film which will be appealing to the younger target audience
because of the fact the actors in it are fairly young. This age group likes the action based films and I believe
that I have achieved an action film opening in my 2 minute film opening. My film is aimed at mainly males
because of the nature of the film, the fighting scenes and the speed of the movement. However it would be
targeted at females too because some people like watching action films.
The targeted audience in my mind will play a high energy sport like rugby, this will mean that they will like the
nature of my film. Also I think that my targeted audience will watch a lot of films, that being action or comedy
like myself. Furthermore I think that they will listen to a fair amount of music because of the fact that some of
the film would have songs in which are fairly popular. On the other hand the target audience of 16-25 year
olds wont like the genres of horror and romantic films because of the slow storylines and the predictability of
the outcomes of the scenes.
The vast majority of my targeted audience will spend most of their time doing their sports and watching films
along with going out and having a good time. This will mean that their lifestyle almost fits with the genre of
the film and they will hopefully like the film because it is targeted at them.
Fairly young actors which could
appeal to the younger audience
the film is targeted at
Fight scene, that younger high energy
sport playing people would like

3. One thing you like about this piece of
work
One thing you would change if you were
editing it
Describe the opening in 1
word
Person 1 The suspense created Add music to background Fabo
Person 2 I liked the way you are left guessing about why
and what is happening
Change the titles at the beginning Interesting
Person 3 The actors performed well I wouldn’t use the pictures to introduce the actors as it
makes it look less like a film
Cool
Person 4 Chase scene is impactful Don’t do so many long shots Tense
Person 5 ParaMATT is very clever Make some of the cuts shorter so the pace is quicker Fabo
Person 6 I agree with above, the paramatt was very clever
and well thought out.
The dissolve shot changes were strange Sweet
Person 7 ParaMATT is fab Maybe use a tripod next time? Cool
Person 8 Chase scene is cut well Transitions Mystery
Person 9 Good chase sequence Maybe add some background music Interesting
Person 10 Good choice of actors, the cutting from clips were
good
Get rid of the ambient sound in the background safe
After 10 of my target audience saw my film opening I got some feedback from them in the form of 3
questions. These were ‘one thing you liked about this piece of work?’, ‘one thing you would change if you
were editing it?’ and ‘describe the film opening in one word?’. From these questions I got varied responses.
But overall from the first question I can see that people liked the chases sequence because of the way it was
cut to go from scene to scene. Also I can see that people liked the suspense created from the actors and the
choice of actors I had chosen. However from the second question which was what would you change, I can
see that my target audience wanted some music in the opening 2 minutes, wanted me to make some
scenes shorter and to maybe use a tripod because some of the filming was too shaky. All of the one word
descriptions were positive words as shown in the table.
However overall I were to make the film again, from this feedback I have received from the target audience I
can see that I need to use more of the resources that are available to me and to make my filming skills better
because of the long scenes and the pace. Also I would make sure that I used faster transitions to make it
more appealing to the action film watching audiences so that my target audience would be more attracted to
the film.
