EVALUATION EVALUATION PT1:  https://kadirdanny10.wixsite.com/website LINK TO EVALUATION PT2 THROUGH PREZI: https://prezi.com/view/tMFLyV0sfkZizBk9bCMC/ For my evaluation, I decided to use a prezi presentation to put forward my evaluation. 

Development of Ideas

The primary research we have conducted allowed us to see first hand what our audience in terms of genre types. Through the use of a questionnaire we asked a set of questions which helped us shape our opening sequence. For example, we asked, would you rather have a detailed in-depth story-line or an action-packed story-line. The majority wanted a detailed in-depth story-line. which perfectly goes hand in hand with our genre, psychological thriller. Through the use of secondary research we saw similarities with our ideas, for example, researching a thriller genre based movie allowed us to have a framework to begin with our opening sequence. The 5 different thriller movies i researched gave different overviews of the typical openings in thriller genre themed movies. Edward scissor-hands perfectly displays how a typical thriller movie starts with a eerie nature. Even though we will not use the same format as the movie we have researched, we can still use similar editing techniques to impro

BBFC

The films and videos are regulated by having age ratings, such as U, 12A, 18R etc. The BBFC have legal powers to rate, and sometimes cut or even reject works. The BBFC is a independent body which means the government are not attached to the ratings of films. They have been an organisation since 1912. Areas which are judged: Discrimination Drugs Horror Imitable behavior Language Nudity  Sex Theme  Violence U-Movies: A U film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and above. U films should be set within a positive framework and should offer reassuring counterbalances to any violence, threat or horror. PG-Movies: PG Parental Guidance. General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children A PG film should not unsettle a child aged around eight or older. Unaccompanied children of any age may watch, but parents are advised to consider

Focus Group Analysis

Focus Group Our focus group consisted of three different groups composed of a: Teenager group Ethnicity group Gender group We asked 5 questions after the group viewed the opening sequence. These questions were: How did the movie reflect the 21st century daily life of a teen? What do you think the main storyline of the movie will be? Was the main character someone you expected to be in such a movie? Did the opening sequence resemble a psychological thriller genre movie? Any parts which were confusing or did not make sense? These questions allowed us to understand which audience our opening sequence related to the most. As we correctly predicted it was the teenager group which showed the most promise. We believed that the ethnic and gender would be mixed as the opening sequence did not favour one specific group. However, due to the setting and how it was portrayed ti clearly was more attractive to the teenager group.

Analysis of Responses

This first question we asked to see which genre was predominately favored. For example, we expected that the sub genre psychological was preferred the most. Our response for this question was one sided as al of our participants chose one option. 'Detailed storyline with a realistic plot', this again relates to our type of genre as psychological thriller has similar story-lines to drama. As i have researched drama is more based on real life interactions, to make it connect with the audience more. Using this we can identify which movies we can take inspiration from. For example, we can take hints from movies such as Hannibal, which allows us top see a top Hollywood thriller type movies. Again taking information on our audiences favorite actor/actresses allow us to see how a characters should be built. For example, you will not have a superhero type character in a psychological thriller. Therefore

Target audience description

Target Audience Age group 16+ Young adults Students Change-sympathizers Our preferred audience would be a young adult audience. So this ranges from 17-40, as we believe this age group would be most suited and interested in attending our type of film. Our genre is a psychological thriller and the style we will use a modern 21st century setting. This will involve a bustling city life or a ordinary city type school. This will also relate to the regional identities of the inner city young adults who can relate to the surroundings, thus building a connection between the characters situation. The narrative will be a first person account, which means the audience are taken through the story as the character is experiencing it. This means the audience are immersed within the story which again can build up a connection between the audience and characters. I chose the young adults as they would relate to the story line the most. For example, it is set in a school which already relates
