Final Questionnaire Results
The document summarizes feedback from an audience on a student film project. The audience understood the protagonist was a video game character but some found the lack of dialogue confusing. Most viewed it as a psychological drama or science fiction genre film. The majority thought it deserved a 12/12A rating. Lighting helped show the character's normal life and impending shock while the music fit the sci-fi themes. However, some felt the storyline needed more depth and clarity within the 5 minute limit. Overall, the audience found the film interesting and felt it showed potential for more complexity with a longer runtime.
How did you attract/address your audience?
The document summarizes how the filmmakers attracted their target audience for a thriller film. They conducted a questionnaire that asked people about their favorite thriller elements and films. Most people said they enjoyed the thriller Se7en. The filmmakers then shaped their film to include similar thriller elements that audiences preferred, like suspense, scary scenes, plot twists, and an original storyline. They also tailored their main characters based on audience feedback to attract viewers. Screening the film for some audiences, the filmmakers received positive feedback that it left viewers wondering what would happen next through cliffhangers and character developments.
Audience research questionnaire results
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire given to the intended audience for a short film. It found that the majority of respondents were female aged 16-18 and in education. Most preferred watching romance genres for 6-7 minutes online. The filmmakers will aim to target this audience by featuring a strong female protagonist and including a positive ending, while exploring typical conventions of portraying gender roles in film.
Audiences and Reviews
Rotten Tomatoes and audience reviews gave Kick-Ass high ratings, with 83% of audiences liking it and critics rating it 7/10. Newspaper reviews also praised the movie, with one giving it 5/5. IMDb user reviews rated it 8/10 with over 158,000 votes. However, Roger Ebert from the Chicago Sun-Times was not a fan and felt it did not meet his standards. Reviews are influenced by how well a movie meets audience expectations based on its narrative, genre, stars, and director. These factors help engage audiences and produce positive reviews.
Orphanage feedback evaluation
We created a film pitch for our class and received feedback. The feedback praised our choice of director, target audience, budget, release date, and initial plot. However, the film title "Orphanage" was deemed too generic, and our cast was considered not young or popular enough given our budget. Additionally, we failed to provide enough information about the main characters. Overall the pitch was successful but the film title needs to be reconsidered.
Ideas for title tagline and magazine name
The document discusses testing various potential film titles, taglines, and magazine names through surveys. For the film title, "Devil's Toy" tested best as it suggests the main character is a toy in the devil's plan. The tagline "When evil comes to play" was most effective as it links to the film narrative about a child playing with a possessed toy. For the magazine name, "Motion" was chosen over "Studio" as it is a simple yet effective term related to cinema and filmmaking.
Evaluation question 5
The document discusses how the filmmaker attracted and addressed their target audience of 15-25 year olds of both genders for their movie. Scenes like a woman gaining power over a man by hitting him with a kitchen tool would appeal to women, while suspenseful scenes like a bat swinging at a woman's face would attract both men and women. Camera work like close-ups during tense moments was used to address the female audience by showing vulnerability in male characters. The filmmaker aimed to make the movie appealing to both genders through a strong female lead character and suspenseful scenes.
Evaluation question 5
The document discusses how the production addressed its target audience of 15-34 year olds. Non-diegetic music was used during scenes to make the production appealing like a video game, which would attract teenagers. Characters wore formal costumes stereotypical of action movies to make the audience feel familiar. The ages of characters mirrored the target audience so viewers could identify with them. A variety of shots including close-ups and point-of-view were used to help the audience view events through the protagonist's perspective and generate sympathy.

Josh Woodburn's film Retribution tries to challenge stereotypes in superhero films by presenting protagonists who are more morally ambiguous and focused on themselves than justice. It uses a low budget of £50 but gripping storytelling and relatable teenage characters to engage audiences.

Meeting minutes 2
The group decided to make a short film instead of a documentary because they had developed good ideas for a short film. They filled out parts of the production schedule but left some tasks blank. They also discussed potential actors and actresses for the short film, considering who would be most suitable given their film ideas. At the next meeting, they plan to finalize a short film idea, fill in the remaining production schedule details, and identify their actors/actresses.

Thriller Evaluation (Untraceable)
The document discusses the production of a thriller film opening titled "Untraceable". It describes how the opening uses conventions common to the thriller genre, such as isolating the main character and using tense music. Feedback from test audiences found the music most effective at building suspense. While generally successful, the opening could be improved by creating more tension and fixing some minor technical issues with shots. Overall, the unconventional cinematography style and enigma established make for an engaging opening that challenges thriller conventions.
Target audience
The filmmakers created a questionnaire to get audience feedback on aspects like target age and expectations before filming their short film. This helped them decide on a 15 rating and add comedic elements. They showed the finished film to students who enjoyed the concept and spoofing of another show but felt some scenes changed too quickly or were shaky. Getting audience perspective both before and after filming helped improve the film.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
