Evaluation Q5.

Question 5. How did you attract/address your audience?

Do you think you have reached your target audience?

After writing the script we decided that the suitable age for our films genre would be 15+ both genders including. We came to this final decision after we received and looked through the questionnaire responses that I designed and let the public fill in for our film.

What did you include when planning your production that you thought would appeal to your audience?

We wanted to include both genders in our film, so we used mainly female actors/characters so that the female audience would sympathise with the young girl, and the male audience would get attraction from the psychiatrist and the translator as they are dressed classy and professionally, but also because the film has a thriller sense they wont lose focus and feel the tension in the film.

Because youth is the main age group that watches horror films we decided to make the teenagers feel like they could communicate though we can have Lucinda be a teenager girl (as she will look naïve stereotypically).

What has been successful in your production?

Looking at the audience feedback, the public has found the characters realistic through the make-up and dressing, they liked how we used what they imagined in the questionnaire feedbacks to portray the characters, which is great as that is what we wanted. The setting and the lighting was also very successful during the production as we made sure to use and set up an actual hospital room which also made the film more believable in a sense. 
Personally I feel like we did well in time management- we managed to complete everything in time, as me made sure that everything was planned out and organised, we also individually made sure that we would waste our own time outside of the lesson to complete our own tasks such as booking out the set and collecting the costumes/make-up. We prioritised completing the film before the deadline, which we did successfully.

What was less successful? How can it be improved?

The public answers on the questionnaire feedback shows how they felt as the plot itself was a bit hard to understand, and that the flashbacks should’ve been less complicated and more straight to the point to not confuse them. We originally wanted this to happen, but because the some of the public think it would’ve been better by revealing a little more. To improve this we thought we could write about the storyline on the questionnaire to let the public know what the story is about a little more, but not too much to give anything away.
