Evaluation: Question 5

This is what we have collected from asking our target audience and the majority had said similar things, however some thought the target audience would be 18-25 while others thought of 16-20. Overall it covers our initial target audience of 16-25 successfully.

These aspects had the main appeal towards our target audience:

• Mise-en-scene had the appeal because of the locations used which is St. Pancras International/Kins Cross Station and China Town.

• Editing appealed because everyone we've asked for feedback had made a comment on the stylised editing and the colour red, describing it 'edgy' and 'sketchy' and most of all 'appealing'.

• Storyline because movies such as Skyfall, Collateral, Safe House, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and so forth, appeal to the younger and older teenagers along with the adult audience. 

I have underlined the key words which are relevant to our movie Base-9 and all have some links to the majority crime/action/thriller movies out there.

• Soundtrack: this sound was one of the many that we have put together to use with our opening. Collateral was the influence.

The end sound of the opening in the movie Collateral was fast paced and energetic, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats and this is what we aimed to achieve in our opening.

ROUGH CUT FEEDBACK:

After receiving this feedback on our rough cut edit, we have rearranged the order of the narrative and stylised sequences so it is not confusing and instead more appealing to the audience. This helped us improve the opening which in return appeared to be successful in attracting the attention of our target audience.

This is a short clip I've combined using iMovie with all the target audience feedback we've received.
