Q4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

Our target audience is 15-18 years who like watching horror films

Lily Oswald 

Age: 17

THEIR TASTES

Where do they like to shop? - Hoobycraft, Fatface, Costa, BS8, Forbidden Planet

What music do they listen to? - Marina and the diamonds, Florence and the machine, Mumford and sons

What films do they watch? - A nightmare before Christmas, Star trek into darkness, The heat

What TV programs do they watch? - Doctor who, Sherlock, Being human

Which one of these films makes her suitable for our target audience?
I think that 'A nightmare before Christmas' would probably be the film that's most close to a horror film because of how it's quite strange and spooky. It's also a gothic type animation which includes disfigured characters which could be quite disturbing mixed with the music of Danny Elfman who's music is quite unique and fits Tim Burtons films very well.




Julia Tyler

Age: 17

THEIR TASTES
Where do they like to shop? - Marks and Spencer's, Cath Kidston, Fatface, Waitrose, Forbidden Planet 
What music do they listen to? - The Beatles, Vampire weekend, Fleet foxes

What films do they watch? - Apollo 13, Skyfall, Dance of the vampires

What TV programs do they watch?- Doctor Who, Friday night dinner, Sherlock


Which one of these films makes her suitable for our target audience?
I think that 'Dance of the vampires' would be the film that's closest to a horror film even though it's a gothic horror comedy which you wouldn't really expect to be a horror about. Baring in mind there are vampires included in this film suggests it a horror film because this could be the antagonist.




Daniel Grant

Age: 17

THEIR TASTES

Where do they like to shop? - Morrisons, John Lewis, Aldi, Sports direct, Fatface

What music do they listen to? - ELO, U2, Coldplay, Crosby stills and nash

What films do they watch? - War of the worlds, way out west, toystory 3

What TV programmes do they watch?- Match of the day, sky sports, the detectorists

Which one of these films makes her suitable for our target audience?
The film that I think describes our target audience through this person is 'War of the worlds', due to how it is quite a distressing film which involves aliens coming to earth to take over.


Audience Feedback:
We showed six people, who met the target audience, our film so that we could gain information about ways to improve, about what was good, about camera angles/ movement etc.


QUESTIONS WE ASKED OUR AUDIENCE

What did you think was good about the film?
"Contrast of us laughing and the scream -the location of the woods -the titles in the tunnel -use of colour."

Is there anything we could do to improve our film opening?
"The ending was sudden and abrupt/ maybe fade it out/ make a shadow appear."

What did your think about the use of camera angles and movement?
"Group are walking, and Megan disappears and the camera turns round suddenly, the camera is like the eyes of the characters (hand-held)."

What did you think of our editing?
"I liked it when they are all having a good time and then they wake up as if the camera woke up."

What did you think of our performance?
The performance was natural it didn't seem put on or fake."
