Evaluation Questions Pt 1, Question 1 - Tom Cording

In this project we will be making a 3-minute introduction to a horror film complete with a short scene and titles. To effectively choose our target audience we had to research previous horror films and compare similar films and see who rated them the highest. Due to our research we decided our target audience was males from 16-25.  Our initial idea came from watching and doing research into horror films, we then sought out to find a supernatural element within our film, as every film we did research on the villain had a supernatural element for example in “A Nightmare on Elm Street” Freddie Kruger was able to attack within the dreams of the victims making him more frightening and therefore induce more emotions within the audience. We thought it would be good if the villain could bring the victim to him rather than just chasing them through a park.  This helps to give the feeling that heir is no turning back and that they are trapped which could help to captivate the audience but also make them feel uneasy themselves by making them feel trapped themselves. Our production was slow to start but once we got the ball rolling we became an effective threesome, tackling each problem at the same time individually to save time and improve efficiency. Our group got on well and we had very few issues with each other but one main issue being workload per person. But we managed to overcome this particular problem and once again get on well eventually completing our first shoot, with some very stable footage.
