Evaluation Activity 5

To attract my audience I have made sure that I have tried to follow typical drama forms and conventions so that my audience understands my genre and why the plot is the way it is. It also means that my audience knows what to expect if they saw the rest of the film, and from watching the opening sequence they know what and who it will be about. I think that my opening gave lots of information about the main character, as she is speaking about her feelings, acting and also having flashbacks of her past. I think that if the character is introduced well then the audience will find it more interesting to watch her in this movie.

Sound was another big part in attracting my audience, as I wanted it to be as dramatic as possible. Whilst playing around with a track I made on Soundtrack Pro, I decided that sound alone wouldn’t be enough, so I recorded my actress and a woman to play the Good Samaritan through a hand held voice recorder.

I also think that good special effects draw in the audience, as it is original and fun to watch. I like how I have incorporated special effect editing on my flash back scene, inspired by the film Bourne Ultimatum and also through my earth zoom. I created these special effects using After Effects. This is also where I created my titles for my film, which are clear and easy for the audience to read and understand. 

Below is an interview I had with a demographic member of my target audience. Her name is Charlie and she is 22. I asked her questions about my film to receive some feedback and whether she it was exciting to watch. 

The video conferencing software I used was slightly slow whilst i was recording it, using a screen recorder, so her speech is slightly faster than her actions.
