Evaluation - Question 5

 For this question i have chosen to carry out some interviews, explanations and a self video for answer HOW I ATTRACTED /ADDRESSED MY AUDIENCE.





THE UNMENTIONED
Having a rough cut previously without credits or effects was beneficial as it made us familiar with the routine of our various shots which made us used our own initiatives for ideas and how to effectively put the right conventions/effects with our audience in mind. After a survey i carried out before making the rough cut most of the people i asked who were my target audience mentioned suspence so it was important for us to have in mind and maintain it throughout.
When we made the 'rough cut' of our film opening we set ourselves some targets for the essential things we were to achieve when moving on to creating our final film.
These targets were:
- The titles of our film (font) - for this we ended up using 'live type' where we personally discovered how to creatively make our credits. After going through the different effects and animations of the way the titles appeared we also continued to look at real film openings and how they made theirs look professional. This allowed us to develop a unique way of showing out font. We found that the audience were amazed at the way the words apearred on the screen as it made a huge impact to the tone that was set to the audience.
- The sound accompaniment - in our rough cut there was no sound what so ever. We noticed that without the sound the film opening wouldn't fulfill the audiences exceptions or attractions, therefore we made sure we had that done straight after the transitions so we knew what fell into place. We went onto soundtrack pro and gathered heartbeats sounds and more.The purpose of our sound was to get not only engage our audience but to also get a reaction from them.
- The transitions in between the shots - completing this made a huge difference to our film opening. In between the shots we inserted transitions and effects over them. we used slow motion for the close ups of when the victim dies this allows the audience to see that its something tragic and to show that our victim has died a slow and painful death (audience will fill sympathy for the victim that has died) whereas, in our rough cut it was jumping quickly to the next seen and no emotion was portrayed.

I decided that i would distribute my video on my Facebook (social networking site) to see my friends reaction, my friends fit our target  audience therefore i thought that their response would be necessary .
