Evaluation Question 5 - How would you attract/address your audience?

Poster

For our inspiration of our poster we have looked at 'The Afterlife' poster which also has the the three ghostly effect of their main character. We have also looked 'The Ward' poster who has also inspired us to put the other two images of the main character by her sides in different ways. We have chosen to use red font because it is a horror and because red is the connotation for blood and lust but we have chosen whiten for the other writing in white because we think white can relate to insanity and mental institutes.

We blanked out the eyes to attract our audience and to inform the audience that she is a crazy person who is being possessed and is longer human.

We added the other two images of her so that the audience can see that she has different personalities through the film and that the game is actually within herself.

Poster Ideas 

The first idea we had was to have an extreme close up of an eye of our main character Anna Smith and in the centre of the eye have a dark gloomy image perhaps of her standing up this would be a good way to portray our character as a mental person because it gives the sense that she is lost which is why the picture would have been an image of Anna at her worst state looking scared, distraught and vulnerable.

The idea above shows half of our main character as a normal young lady and the other half as a distraught with dirt and blood on her face, we came up with this idea because we wanted to show the contrast between the two personality of the same character. We put blood and tears on her face was thought of as it would show her inside and true emotions, and the use of the other half of the bland picture would emphasis her struggle but efforts to keep the emotions hidden, and the struggle to remain normal.

With this idea we wanted to make sure that the target audience understand that the main character has spilt personalities. We were  thinking to place some images of our main character beside her and as they fade out she becomes more distraught and crazy.

Interviews & Reactions

This is the video showing the audiences reactions when they were watching our film as you can see we then later interviewed our target audience teenage girls but we also interviewed a teenage boy to see if the the opposite sex would also get the plot of the film. Those who did not want to be interviewed at the ended we got them to write down the films strengths and improvements of our horror film.
