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

In our film we have included the themes of death, transformation, loneliness, victim, villains and most important vampires. They are the main cause of this film and are slowly trying to taking over the world, so our main antagonist are in trouble because they are slowly creating an army to get rid of the human race. I believe we produced a great opening for our film and it left the viewers wanting more, they became entranced with our film forgetting everything around. We had to stick to our conventions other wise this wouldn't have been a horror/thriller and it would have all been for nothing if we changed it. I believe that we couldn't have made this film fit into any other genre, it just wouldn't have been right. Our audience became captivated with the twilight world almost believing its real. 














The picture on the left  is one of our main characters in our film looks like when i have been changed into a vampire. This is a very important shot because this now shows our main character change from a normal 18 year old girl into a creature of nightmare. This is a medium shot of me with red eyes, a bite mark on my neck and blood dripping from my mouth. The picture on the right is Bella Swan in the film Twilight where she also has red eyes and blood dripping from her mouth i thought it would be a good idea to show that we did stick on the lines of the film Twilight, we got our image from their main character and i think we did a pretty good job of making me look like a vampire. This is quite a frightening shot because if someone like that came towards me i wouldn't want to stick around for long, this is what we want the audience to feel, we don't want them to be comfortable about this character, although she was an innocent young girl she is now highly dangerous and would given the chance kill you. Both pictures are very alike, we both have dark hair, dark clothing and messy hair. This is very important to get right because we both look very threatening thanks to the mise-en- scene. 






           







The picture on the left is of my eye, the most important scene because we now know that this young girl has changed and there this no going back for her. This is a brilliant close up of my red eye conveying to the audience that people that meet her will be in trouble. This shot is an extreme close and when this shot appears on the screen our film name comes along the bottom of my eye say "Judgment Of The People" the word "Judgment" connotes trouble ahead for the people in our film. The picture on the right is also Bella Swan from Twilight, this picture also shows the audience that Bella is no longer normal and it is the red eyes that do it just like the still shot from our film. This show that we have again stuck to our conventions and film selections.











The picture on the left is another one of are main character Andre with me laying in a laboratory. This is the final shot and part of our opening were we hear Andre say " We were right shes got the virus", this leaves the audience left in suspense and again wanting more from our film. This is a very important scene because we don't really know what he is going to do next with the world near to ending it is up to the work of Andre to save the day. This is a medium shot. The picture on the right is once again from the film Twilight with Dr Cullen in a hospitable/ laboratory examining a patient which links in with our closing scene.

So i think we did a really good job of making our films fit around the films of today. It should also be a big hit with our audience because Twilight is on of the most popular films of my generation. Our peer evaluations were very good and most of them said they wanted to watch the rest of the film. They said that the liked the way we made our characters up and the way we have edited our film it to make it look like they are moving faster and slower. They did say they would have maybe like a bit of music because we only used sounds effects but we did have a voice over that they really loved. We also stuck to our target audience of 18-25 i think that they would love it.

I think the most unique selling point of our film was the voice over that fit the film perfect using the name of our film in it and the uses of vampires, the voice over was made up by one of our group member just out of the blue. Another similaritie with Twilight they also have a voice over at the start of their film.  I also think that the costume of our vampire was very good because we didn't use any special effects on the ways i look but we did on they way i moved because it looked more real and more frighting when someone comes really quickly at the camera. 

This link shows the opening of the film Twilight to show how they use a voice over just like we do.
