Q5: How did you attract / address your audience?

The rough cut feedback did help to improve our group's final film opening. Our rough cut presented many unnecessary scenes that we did not need and with the help of our teacher pointing out this issue it allowed us to then get rid of these scenes and make our thriller opening much more effective. 


Furthermore, there was an issue with the sound in our rough cut, we used narration throughout of the main characters perspective of what was going on.. there however was a gap in the middle of our film because the words in the narration did not match the actions going on in the thriller itself. With the teachers feedback we could see this problem and then got the chance to remove it. Our teacher said to get rid of the gap so we did this by removing the unnecessary scenes and slowing down the voice to match the actions.


Thirdly our thriller rough cut had a certain effect/theme edit running throughout which gave the footage a kind of flashy effect, our teacher said that our film may be more effective if this effect only took place when the main character was having a flashback so the audience would know the difference between the character's reality and the character's past. So we edited our footage so it would then do this.


In conclusion the feedback we gathered made our work alot better and alot more relatable to our target audience. Without this feedback our work would not have been as effective and we would not have reached our full potential as a group.


We have reached our audience so far through a cinema screening as a group and then we indiviudally uploaded our film to facebook as well as just showing our friends around college to get their opinion.
