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

Question 5 by alix simpson

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

Audience: a group of spectators or viewers to market your product to.

Target audience: a set group of individuals based on age,social groups,gender etc which you specifically market your product to.

An audience is necessary for the succession of a media text as without an audience their is no one to watch and compliment your product in the same way their is no one to criticise it. Without an audience, my film would not be successful as no one would buy tickets to see it or use word of mouth to promote to others to watch.

The wider audience is teenager/young people generally. They are the main source of income for thrillers and horror movies. But most independent films are aimed at middle aged adults, we got feedback from our media teacher and an old friend who fit this group to make sure we also aimed it at them.

Our unique selling point was teenagers. We found this by getting verbal feedback from our class and other students to see if they enjoyed it and getting them to critic our film so we could change it to their preferences,

Final Blog Post | The Sign Off!

This year's journey through media has been an amazing one! Despite the stress from all the work, it's payed off after the premiere of "Scratch", when you realise that all the time put into the project was worth it! Through new obtained skills and knowledge, I'm looking forward to applying these new skills into future projects with media and outside of school! Thank you for letting us be creative c:

Scratch Rough Cut 2

Feedback

What Went Well: 

After reviewing, the composition of our opening sequence made sense and has created suspense through the dark and dull tones; and the music set an eerie sense of fear upon our audience. 

Even Better If: 

The next step is to organise our titles and make them spread out more - for a consistent appearance - so that the audience doesn't lose focus of the plot (if the titles appear too rapidly in a short space of time)

Editing 2 | Changing Effects and Colours

 We've dedicated today to fulfilling the distorted effect of a nightmare. From our protagonist's P.O.V, we had to make her vision blurred and to make the audience immersed and depict that instability, we've copied and pasted the same footage and lowered the opacity.

Also, we've joined the two footages, but starting the second copy a second later to show loss of control.

In addition, we've also used the "razor" tool to cut down the lengths of footages to make the opening more thrilling and intense, holding the attention of our audience.
To also add a sinister tone to our audience, the vignette effect and blurred effects in our opening to depict a nightmare, alongside our audio track of "Drone" to subliminally generate fear.

Some footages appear more brighter than others and we had to lower the brightness and highlights to keep a consistent pattern to make each footage transform seamlessly onto the next.

We cropped our last footage of an extreme closeup of Alix to make an unexpected stop to our opening- this will leave the audience questioning what happened next and continue watching our film!
When it came to composing our opening, we used a range of long to closeup shots to break the empty space and unexpectedly draw our audience to different features of our Protagonist.

Also, we had to use foley sound to create the primary sound of the Protagonist's footsteps. We cropped each step with the razor tool and had to connect the visuals to the sound by copying and pasting them throughout the timeline. To make it more realistic, we used the pen tool to create dynamics of the sounds (making it quieter/louder).

Editing | Youtube Video of Evidence!

Using Premier Pro, our overall footage is complete - no need for re-recording again! So within the next week or so, we're finalising our title sequence and footage.

Within the video above, I've spoken about using the Pen Tool. This was effective in introducing and stopping subtle sound effects to generate suspense, as opposed to throwing our audience off with a sudden sound that doesn't seamlessly transition throughout our opening.
