It includes what is good about it, what they believe the narrative was about and also what could have been improved. this feedback is very helpful as it gave me insight about how i can improve next time i film something, and it tells me what to include as it is what the audience really likes.

Evaluation Question 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?


























Here is the final version of my thriller with annotations describing all the technology which we used. We added these annotations as a group in as much detail as possible-mentioning every piece of technology that we used to edit our thriller. We made each annotation long enough for people to read, but not too long to make it an annoyance or a nuisance. We added the annotations using Youtube features by adding 'notes'.

Evaluation Question 5: How did you attract/address your audience?

This is a voice recording of me talking about how we used different techniques and methods to attract as many people to watch our thriller as possible. For example the characters, certain shots and different elements of mise-en-scene. There are two parts of my voice recording.
 









Here is the script of my voice recording:

Evaluation Question 4: Who would be the audience for your media product?





  • The age range for our target audience is within 16-28 years of age. We believe they would like our film because it is very tense and involves a gruesome action of a murder. Also, there is an involvement of a gun, which typically are liked by young adults. 
  • We expect and/or the gender we want to attract is males, as we feel that our film is more suited to them and that the main antagonist in our thriller is a man, whom our male audiences can relate to, despite him killing someone. 
  • The main interests that our target audience has mainly involves modern technology. They are up to speed with all the latest films, mobile phones, social networking sites etc. This gives us the opportunity to let our young target audience watch the film, and then can talk about our film to all their friends in variety of different ways.
  • I believe that fact that we have chosen the thriller genre would attract our audiences as our target audiences typically like tension and a thrilling aspect to films. Also, we would market out film through all the new media methods, such as the internet, social networking sites and trailers etc. 
  • However we also believe we have a secondary audience of young females. This is because the main woman in our film has a huge role and has a very important/secretive job. Despite being killed, she is very successful which may inspire our female audience to watch our film. Despite this, our film is mainly for males. Our plot would attract males too as the story is about the assassin which kills the woman in the beginning, and the discovery and relevance of the contents of the case which was stolen.
  • Typically, the genre thriller mainly attracts males as, stereotypically shown by other media texts, women do not like action, death, tension etc, which is a huge part of our film.
