Evaluation Question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?

We produced a questionnaire to find out what kind of things our target audience would expect to see in our opening, as well as what type of people our audience would be.
From the results of our questionnaire we knew what our audience wanted.

• The most favoured genres were action and comedy; obviously we couldn’t include comedy in our thriller, so we agreed on an action/crime-thriller, action being one of the most favoured genres as well as comedy.
• Most expected sub-genres of action and comedy in a thriller.
• Our survey audience msotly responded with 15 being the age rating for a thriller.

So from our question about what the audience would expect from a thriller, we learnt they would want action and mystery, both of which genres we tried to include in our opening. Audience feedback went well; we posted our video on YouTube and linked this to Facebook asking for reviews. All of our replies were positive, most agreed that the use of diegetic and non-diegetic sound could be improved upon in the titles sequence.
