This document summarizes elements included in a film to intrigue the audience and when the audience was meant to have emotional responses. It includes: 1) A news report flashback showing a law requiring mandatory DNA samples was included to set the context for the post-apocalyptic world. Point-of-view shots from the killer clone were also included to make the audience feel scared for the survivors. 2) In the news report scene, the audience was meant to feel gripped by the serious situation but find it funny when one unprofessional reporter is tackled in a surprising way. 3) The audience responded as intended when one character is dragged away, finding the buildup of tension during the black

EVALUATION

2. WHAT DID WE INCLUDE IN THE FILM
WHICH WOULD INTRIGUE OUR
AUDIENCE?
• Some post-apocalyptic films such as 28 Days later, which is a very popular post-apocalyptic
film, does include a ‘flash back’. At the beginning of 28 Days Later there is a scene of rioting
which is then shown to be playing on a TV screen showing that that is what has already
happened. This is similar to our film as we have included a news report declaring that there
is now a law for DNA samples to be mandatory. This is initially a flashback as most of the
film is about how the survivors are fighting to survive after the law had been passed.
(Photographs from our film on the next slide). The transition to show that it is a flashback is
a dissolve. The dissolve also highlights a passage of time.
• Additionally, we included point of view shots from the killer clone which tries to kill Boris and
seems to have succeeded. We intended to make the audience feel quite on edge as they can
see how close the clone is to Boris, Jim and Nicola. Therefore, the audience will also feel
scared for the survivors as the audience knows where the clone is, but the survivors don’t.
This breaks the linear plot of the film for a few seconds, however the rest of the plot is linear.

4. AT WHICH PARTS WERE THE AUDIENCE
MEANT TO MAKE A SERIOUS
EMOTIONAL CHANGE?
• At the news report scene we wanted to grip
the audience as they soon realise that the law
is real and it has been confirmed, making the
situation seem more real. However, when the
news reporter on the right , Chris, get rugby
tackled, we wanted the audience to find that
part quite funny, as Chris seems un-
professional whereas Morgan , the news
reporter to the left, seems professional. This
results in the situation’s formality being
debatable, meaning that when Chris gets
attacked, the audience just might find it funny
as it is surprising. When we showed some of
our target audience the clip, here were how
the audience responded to Chris getting
attacked.
• Most of the audience found the surprise
attack funny, which was our intended
response. The also found the titles under the
news reporters funny as they were random
news cases such as the mention of Kanye
West.

5. • The audience was partially confused at the part where Boris gets dragged away but when we
replayed it and let them listen to the video properly they understood that Boris went to
check what the sound was that they all heard.
• However, they did like the idea of the build up after Boris gets dragged away. The audience
said that the black screen after Boris gets dragged away created more tension and then
when they saw that Boris is laid on the floor they liked that idea because they didn’t know
exactly what had happened so it left them in suspense.

6. OVERALL RESPONSE BY THE
AUDIENCE
• Overall, the audience stated that the film was quite confusing but once they had
watched it and once we gave them the plot to read, they understood what was
happening.
