Evaluation 5- How did you attract/address your audience?

Music:

When looking for the music, we thought that we needed something that would fit with all the personalities but it also needed to be quite upbeat because they were getting ready for a party. Most people who listen to music whilst they are getting ready for a party would find something to get their mood up so that they get into the party sprit. We found that the music that would best fit this would be Decode by Paramore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgRPbiPauOo
After this we found out that most people liked the music because although the band is normally what everyone would like, they said that it fits the scene and the type of film.

Costumes:

For the costumes, we decided to make them match and represent the characters personality because the people watching the film wouldn't know what the personality is without us telling them or representing them in some way. The costumes attracted the audience because each of the dresses were from a different store and are quite popular and most girls would like them or would have seen them in stores. The costumes got no feedback from where we posted our final product.

Set:

The setting is bedrooms of which is a typical place for girls to get ready for a party when there is a possibility of having other people walking around the house. The reason we chose bedrooms is because they could also represent personality type where as a bathroom is normally blue or white and doesn't fit with the personality types that we had in mind when looking at it. Yet again, no-one commented on the setting in writing however a few people have said that they fit the same personality type that we were trying to show.

Props:

Most of our props were essential to the making and the linking of the scenes together and whilst making a thriller film. The fake blood could attract people with media knowledge or someone with artist views that would like to see how it has been placed and used within the film. Some people like to see murder films because they like the excitement however because we used a knife, this is a personal way to kill someone which could add to the original excitement. The mascara could be another way to attract the audience because it could be the same brand that they use.

This is the feedback that was specific to help us with evaluating our film and looking over the parts that we could have made better if we were to re-do this task.

its very good I like the build up and the split screens on the phone scene. like the drama of the girl laying still and the person walking away makes you wonder "is she dead?" and "who is that?" x

It's really good
The costumes fit the characters well.
The idea is a little simple in my opinion, but it gives the film potential to go almost anywhere from here
It is also quite well edited - you don't notice you many cuts. The only one I would change is the jump cut when one of the girls is talking on the phone (maybe re-film that shot and do it all in one, rather than two takes) Also the props were good because they looked very convincing (for example, you know that the girls are on the phone to each other, even though it was filmed at entirely different times) 
The camerawork was quite varied - shots were from different distances and focused on different details
The sound was also very good - clear speach, you can understands hat the characters are saying all of the time
All in all, a very good film for AS - I look forward to seeing your A2 project

I was just thinking you could vary the camera shots, instead of having pretty much medium shots and close ups. Could try some extreme close ups, POV, over the shoulder and perhaps a Low Angle? Also, I'd say throw in some more cinematography skills, like pans, tilts and zooms! It's good though, just include them and it will make it 100 times better
