evaluation question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?

We attracted our target audience in many ways, one of these is by making a questionnaire to find out what our target audience likes, or would expect from a psychological horror, after gathering the results from our questionnaires we used them alongside our own ideas to create a film that was different to conventional horrors, but also contained key elements that would appeal to our audience, for example the theme of death, and the air of mystery.
Another way we addressed our audience was by showing our finished film to a selected few, and to listen to their opinions on it, here is the feedback we recieved from our audience.




Apart from this filming, we also interviewed 1 18 year old male and one 17 year old female asking for feedback on our film, this way we can compare the answers we recieved.

Our interview, although quite vague, provided us with the necessary information and feedback for our finished title sequence. This, along with our filmed interview showed us both the things that we did well and the things we could improve on. For example, our filming techniques were popular, as they were various and appropriate to our plotline and genre. They also provided us with ways to improve in the future, by making the lighting even darker, or by cutting certain long parts of our film such as when our character is walking up the hill.
