Feedback Transcript :

Rose: How will this film appear to your target audience?

Klodiana: Our film has got good connections with our target audience because we have decided to aim it at young females and as being young females like our selves we know how to connect with them.

Rose: What type of audience will you have for this film?

Klodiana: Girls aged 16- 24 years of age, basically young adults 

Rose: What sub genre is this film and how will your film fit this sub genre?

Klodiana: Our sub genre is Psychological Horror and our film fits our sub genre because it shows the mental side of our character. We have studied carefully the conventions used in Psychological horror so we are confident with presenting Psychological techniques.


We also chosen to an Male audience he said that he is confused about what the last part 'the game is within herself ' he said that the film is predictable and that you can tell that the main character will die in the end, we asked if would go watch the film and his reply was no was it is too predictable.
He suggest that we change the last part and that we add more detail on the main character such as age, occupation etc.

We then chose another Female audience and she said that she was also confused but that it is was good confusing because it raises questions as to what might happen in the film. We asked her if she would go  watch the film and her reply was yes because we haven't given much away but enough to tempt our target audience.

This has confirmed that we have chosen our target audience

Sub Genre Parody

The purpose of our sub genre parody task sequence is to learn about and explore psychological horror through filming. 

In psychological horror most of these camera shots are used eg birds eye shot, extreme close up, match on match action,180 degree rule and a series of different editing formats. The effect of this is to show the characters views and feelings through different camera angles.

Some other conventions we used to show psychological are...

• someone sat in a hospital/hospital bed- this shows that there is a sick person 
• someone playing mind games with the sick person-this is used to show that the person is being played mind games 
• the narrative speech through the sequence- this is used in this sub genre to give a feel of what the film is about 
• not showing a full shot of the evil persons face - this helps to create mystery 

During the process of creating this parody I have learned how to make a short sequence humorous and how to re-create a short scene. I have also learned more about psychological horror so when I go on to do my main task, I will be more confident in creating and putting the main ideas across through the conventions of sub genre.

Target Audience

For our main task we have chosen our target audience would be young adults from ages to 16  to 24 years of age. The reason for this is because of the sub genre in which we decided to base our main task on. To accompany this age range we have also decided that our product will be aimed at mostly towards females because the main character is a female who are either single or in a relationship. These people would preferable have subtle or no jobs due to them still being full time students and because of this, and their age range, they will not have children. The area in which our target would be mostly set towards is in metropolitan towns such as London. Finally, the things that our audience would usually spend their money on would include technology, clothing and going out with friends - e.g. cinemas.
