Final Cut Thriller - New Breed

Preliminary Task - The Unsuspected

Evaluation Question 7

For this evaluation question, myself and Freddie decided to deal with it using a video commentary. The video consists of us sitting down, and watching our preliminary task, and our final cut of our films and then talking about what went well in both. We looked at all of the areas which included, Cinematography, Sound and Editing. We had a video of us speaking in the top right corner, while we played our preliminary task and final cut videos so the audience could understand what was going on.

Evaluation Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product? (Use www.surveymonkey.com) 

Before we made our final cut, we did a target audience survey on www.surveymonkey.com to find out which type of people watch films. In the pictures above, you can see the questions we asked and the answers that we got. We asked about gender and age. As you can see above, these were the results that we got from 10 people who decided to answer the survey. 6 of the 10 people (60%) were female and 4 of the 10 people (40%) were male. Also, 5 of the 10 people (50%) were between the ages of 16-18, 2 of the 10 people (20%) were 26+. Also, for the age groups: Under 12, 12-15 and 19-25, only one person said that they were in each of those age groups (The other 30%).

From our results, we could see who the audience would be who would watch our film. The results from the gender question was almost the same, so in terms of gender, the audience for our film would be both male and female. The results from the age question are a bit more complicated. For the age rating of our thriller, we decided that we would give it an age rating of 15, due to the disturbing murder scene that minors under the age of 15 may find distressing. Due to this, the audience for our film would likely be teenagers and young adults. It would be anyone from ages 16-30. This is because this age group is usually more interested in watching films than any other age group, and would specifically be more likely to watch thriller films that contain deaths like our film does.

Also, we believe that this age group would be more likely to be the audience for our film because they would be mostly be able to associate with the actors/actresses in the film. All of the actors/actresses are teenagers from a working class background and from our target audience survey, the age group of 16-18 is more likely to watch films. As this age group is within the teenager years, they will be able to associate with the actors/actresses within our film because they would know what they are going through.

Also, we asked people what they like in thriller films. In the above wordle, you can see the words that they said. They are mostly aspects of most thriller films and they are included within our film. For example, there is suspense, chase and weapons within our thriller film and these are just three of the words that people who like thrillers like to see within the thriller films and what they expect and like to see. We saw the results of the questions that we asked and made sure that we included as many of these thriller aspects as possible so people would enjoy the film.
