Evaluation question 5 from shelby poll


















Here is an example of keeping our target audience interested due to our target audience mainly being at  16-24 and more at girls then boys we tried keeping them interested by talking about make up due to us being teenage girls we knew this is what they would be interested in to keep there attention as they could relate to what we was talking about.





When looking into our target audience we realised that round about this age group loose attention quickly so to stop this we made it fast pace and jumped straight into it we didn't want to waste to much time before it got dramatic as our aim was to keep the audiences attention this is also were mysterious music began to play which really helped create tension and keep our audience engaged as explained above in the powerpoint.





Above you can see the action in our thriller in which we used to keep our audience engaged.
















This is the picture taking as a screen shot from our thriller of The Chase nature park sign this was to engage a local audience as when things get filmed local many people want to see as they are familiar to the set. 

Evaluation Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

If our thriller was an actual film our target audience would have been 16 - 24 working/middle class relevant to both genders this is due to the fact that this is our age group and because all the actors featured were around this age group it would have captured the eye of this age group more, also with gender i think it would capture the eye of more females than males due to if this wasn't just an opening sequence we would have gone into the life's of the girls in which our killer aimed to capture and murder who was in the picture at the end of our thriller due to this it would have been looking into the life's of females which some males we see as too feminine to watch however just in our opening we aimed to target both genders and this is why we made our killer a male so it wasn't all females taking part. However i created a survey on SurveyMonkey to get accurate feedback below are the results.

Most respondents were under 18 years old and the next highest result was 18-24 years, due to this we see that our target audience made up most of the results and because of these results resulting in this we could see what interests our target audience the most so we could take this into consideration with our thriller. 

The most popular film genre selected by respondents was comedy, then followed by horror this could result in the age groups taking this survey, due to comedy being a genre every age group can enjoy. Horror being the next most popular genre selected, this can be because most of respondents were of the age group under 18 due to youth enjoying films that give them excitement and catch their eye. We know this because this age group is prone to loosing interest in things a lot more quickly than other age groups and the tension and suspense in horrors is what captures the eye of this age group. This shows that 3/4 young people are more likely to have selected horror in this survey were as the older age groups was more likely to have selected comedy. 

Suspense was the most popular convention next to crime selected by respondents this resulted great for us due to them being the two main conventions in our thriller. This proved that the people who took this questionnaire will enjoy our thriller. Youth themes is least popular this could be due to the respondents who was older than 24 as it is something they wouldn't really relate too and due to this loose interest. 

Overall this survey showed that our true audience for our thriller are those under 18 this is normally people around the age 15-17. We know this because the respondents were mainly under 18, we could see that our target audience we predicted was very accurate as in our favoured films chart you could see third popular was thriller, due to us not being able to add comedy to our thriller to interest our respondents as this would make the whole thing very unrealistic, we made sure we made a horror thriller as we thought this would be more eye catching for our target audience. Due to these results we knew who would watch our thriller, We knew that the younger age groups selected horror and thriller because we watched the results come in and when someone in the under 18 age group submitted a survey the scores for the horror and thriller category raised, due to this we know that our target audience from this survey is 16 - 24, we also know this is the right age group to target at our thriller because of feedback we gathered from asking people who watched our thriller which can be seen in my screening blog.   

After this survey we asked people why they would watch our thriller to make the feedback the most accurate, which we got results such as 'tension, dramatic, eye catching, fun, exciting and mysterious' which was the feedback that we hoped for.
