Evaluation Question- 5 (Who would be the audience for your media product?)

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Our media product is aimed at and certificated to 15 year olds and above. Our media product has no specific gender in which it is aimed at and because it is certificated a 15, 15 year olds usually watch anything therefore, this product would be suitable for both male and females. Because we have specifically target marketed our audience, the outcome we expect is to have a majority of a primary audience.

In my opinion, it could be said that our media product does conform to the 'Social Class Theory' stereotype; this is that all young people go out drinking in clubs and end up in trouble with the police. This is because in our piece we show a series of events, two innocent young girls going out to a party, the next day one of the girls end ups dead as a result of the previous night, enigma, it is not clear how it happened.

From my BBFC film rating research, certificated 15 films usually end up showing some form of violence, sexual activity and drug taking. We show girls drinking alcohol and a suggestive nature of violence as it is vocally expressed that a girl has ended up dead.

Our media product is a horror film. To make sure that I was statistically correct in my facts I researched what type of audience usually engage in horror films, I found that it is mainly 15-24 year old. As a result I believe that it is correct of me to have rated this opening sequence a 15. However, earlier on I mentioned that because we have directed our piece to 15 year old's our audience would therefore be a primary audience, however, from these statistics it could be said that our piece.

Film- Final Part- Problems that occured

During the course of filming our final part, we came across many problems, that we will need to take into consideration for future filming.

First of all, filming at a bus stop, there were members of the public standing around, and frequently came into the shots. Because of this, we decided to wait a while, and this put filming back by a couple of minutes.

A lot of the POV shots had a lot of background noise, which will need to be taken out during the editing process.

Finally, when the filming took place, it was very bright outside because of the hot weather. For a horror movie, it will have to be made a lot darker, again during the editing process.

Film- Final Part- What did we do?

Having a checklist of things we needed to do, we were able to film relatively quickly before we lost the natural lighting outside, as we did not want to film in the dark.

First of all, Amber used her special effects makeup to create cuts and bruises on herself; and used other makeup to make herself look creepy and old. We then  asked my Dad if we could use his axe.

We then went outside, and filmed Monique and I leaving my house, and walking down the road, towards the bus stop.

 We then had an over the shoulder shot of the bus times on my phone, and then use walking up through the woodland.

We then used the snap of a twig next to the camera, which made us turn round.

Amber then screams from behind the camera, whilst I am doing a POV shot.

Finally, the CCTV shot, and the last POV shot of myself facing Amber, will end the piece.

Make Up and Special Effects

What we used: Fake Blood, Latex, Tissue, Water, Red and Black Facepaint
