Evaluation Question 5

Q5. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (i.e. of film openings)

Our audience which we decided to aim our film at was the younger audience, mainly 16-18 year old boys as they would be the type of audience who would like our action film. The way in which we attracted our audience was through different things, these were; clothing fighting scene

 

Clothing would have attracted our audience as all the four characters were wearing clothes which not only a typical teenage school boy would wear, because their look smart and shows sophistication but because of the fact their clothes were trendy and in fashion at the moment. For example it shows how the smart outlook portrays our genre well, for example the crime side of it attracts the boisterous consumer we target.

Another factor that would have attracted our young audience was the fact that the boys were in a modified car which attracts most boys and is the desire for most young boys to own their own car. We had tyre screeching scenes and fast driving which is high octane and good action. The car had blacked out window which sums up the crime and secretive approach to our kidnap.

We also did a rough cut of our film and showed it to our class. We then were able to gain feedback from our class mates on how we could improve our film opening. The comments were positive and helped give us a sense of direction to what we wanted and needed to do with our film opening. This is how we addressed our audience by doing a survey and also showing a rough cut of our film opening in order to get a response and some feedback to our idea.
