Evaluation Question 6

Evaluation Question 5

Our target Audience was mainly girls ages 15-20 however males may also want to watch this film as men, stereotypically would rather watch an action or a horror over a rom-com or other such genre.
To attract the audience our main character was a girl ages 17 meaning our target audience would be able to relate to her easily. The mockumentary part of our opening would not usually appeal to the target audience however we used contradicting views between her peers and her teacher which would be more realistic in the way a girl this age acts in front of teachers and people her own age making it more realistic and believable. these contradicting views also create an enigma for the rest of the film about the real identity of the victim.

Final Opening

Point of View Shot

Point of View shots are used to look through the eyes of a character, making the audience see what they see. This creates a sense if realism for audience. Horror and thriller genres often use this technique, to suggest someone spying on someone else, while withholding the identity of the 'spy'. 


We use a mobile camera to generate the POV. The use of our hand-held camera mimics the movement of our observer. However we used some shots of the observer to confirm whose POV it is.

Response

What we need to change based on the feedback from our draft screening:

First Screening

We screened our first draft to a large audience to gain some feedback on what we could do to improve our film opening.

We created a questionnaire for people to fill in, which we handed out at the screening. In the Youtube video below we discuss the questionnaire results.

Night vision

This is used in many films to create a 'real life' and 'home made' feel to the film. Connecting with the audience more creating a more tense atmosphere. We think we could use this in our film opening as it reinforces the conventions from other films we have researched. 

Possible Filming Location

Possible Filming Location

Location: Bodium Castle, Robertsbridge

Bodiam Castle is a 14th-century moated castle near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, England. It was built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of Edward III, with the permission of Richard II, ostensibly to defend the area against French invasion during the Hundred Years' War. Of quadrangular plan, Bodiam Castle has no keep, having its various chambers built around the outer defensive walls and inner courts. Its corners and entrance are marked by towers, and topped by crenellations. Its structure, details and situation in an artificial watery landscape indicate that display was an important aspect of the castle's design as well as defence. It was the home of the Dalyngrigge family and the centre of the manor of Bodiam.
