How did you attract your audience?

For our task we needed to make sure we knew what people in the age bracket for our target group liked about horror films.  We asked people from our focus group some questions about our media product. Below is the feedback.

Feedback on Our Media Product

LIKES	DISLIKES	WOULD YOU WATCH THE REST OF THE FILM?	WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THIS FILM?	WHAT AGE RATING DO YOU THINK IS APPROPRIATE?
I Liked that you used a wide range of shots which shows what’s going on in different angles and perspectives. I also liked the sound when the camera zoomed into the figures face. It was unexpected.	It was to understand what was going on; at the end I was a bit confused. When the girls were speaking at the beginning of the video, it wasn’t clear what was being said.	YES But I think it would be good to have another plot twist in the film.	YES I’m very curious to see what happens during the rest of the film.	12

	Although you meet in the day time and leave during the daytime, the shot of the train is in the dark. It would have been better for the figure to have a mask, or for the hoodie to be the same colour as the coat.	NO	NO	12

I Liked the close up of the figure, It’s not something you would expect. The music went really well in sync with scene.	The acting wasn’t very convincing. The script wasn’t how you would expect girls like that to speak. It was really confusing as the train came in the dark and the girls left during the day.	NO	NO	12

I Liked that most of it was in the dark, so that made it scarier. I liked how whenever the figure appeared there was scary music to creep you out.	It would’ve been better if there were more transitions used.	YES	NO	15
