AS Media Studies: Foundation Portfolio Evaluation Question 5 by Conor

How did you attract/address your audience?


We targeted an audience of young (15-25) adults, mainly men and we feel we have done a decent job of this. We have suspense and action which is similar to the likes of paranormal activity. Due to this similarity we researched into their viewers and feedback of the film:

From this you can see that our prediction of audience was accurate.

We also had a fellow student analyse our film and fill out a feedback sheet which is below:


You can see that our sheet points out the same audience however female rather than male, this again reinforces our original ideas for target viewers.  He also comments on the good use of close ups and sound which are vital components of a good horror movie! We tries to increase the tensity of the situations by adding whispers and other creepy sounds to freak out any potential viewer.

We also had several examples of mise-en-scene which could appeal to our target audience. Our "writing on the board" scene, although not completely right, could appeal due to the out of the ordinary style of it! People would be intrigued to find out why this was happening and also what would have happened if the film had carried on which is why we left it on a cliff hanger, showing intense horror:
