EVALUATION

Question 1

1) HOW DID YOU DECIDE ON THE GENRE?

We decided on the genre by doing audience questionnaires to

collect peoples votes of the most popular genre and their

specific tastes. We selected a variety people in the

age category of our target audience to find out the best

possible genre. In fact the highest voted was comedy but

after discussion we felt this genre would be very hard to

create an amazing teaser trailer for that would be

professional enough for the standard of our audience. So

we decided on a thriller which we felt we could accomplish

well enough to be a great product.

2) WHAT MADE YOU PICK THESE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES?

We decided on these two specific actor and actress as they

both promote drama and have acted a lot before and we

felt their personality and skills stood out enough and

were perfect for our roles. They are both down-to-earth

and keen to listen and learn. We felt we could rely on

them both and they would be nice to work with.

3) WHO IS THE TARGET AUDIENCE?

The target audience are citizens aged from 15-25yrs because

we feel that the film would capture their interest most

through the complex emotional roller coaster of the storyline

and the ambitious characters in the film. This being a thriller

is a popular genre that have chosen as second most

favourite. It can suit both genders because the film has two

sides to it. The scary aspects of the film can sometimes

acquire a specific taste but we feel it is gripping enough they

would be mad to miss out on this one!

4) HOW DOES THE MUSIC CHALLENGE OR FOLLOW CONVENTIONS?

The music in our teaser trailer both challenges and follows

conventions. For example we have a slow and

creepy soundtrack right from the beginning which creates the

right atmosphere and tension that the audience should feel. But

as we go through the film some slight upbeat soundtracks were

used to create a contrast between the tense atmosphere, to a

more light and slightly humorous atmosphere so that the

audience will feel slightly confused about what is happening next.

This is challenging conventions because it should get the

audience hooked and confused so that they want to watch more!

We have other sounds for the part where character "Gabby" is

stalking her 'boyfriend' this then makes the audience realise she

is the evil one and something will happen as the tension is

building.

5) WHAT AMBITIONS DID YOU HAVE THAT YOU COULDN'T FOLLOW THROUGH WITH?

Ambitions that we had that we couldn't follow through with

was to make the trailer slightly more scary and to make it

mess with the audiences minds more. We did not want

to make this happen if we could not support it to the

correct standards and did not feel like the video wasn't

strong enough but we are still happy with the final

outcome.
