Evaluation Question 5

Evaluation Question 5

I believe that we have reached our target audience well in our film, we are aiming to the people ageing from 15 right through to 50. However does not mean that the people over 50 cannot watch our film. The fact that we had 2 boys and 2 girls in our group also contributed to getting a well rounded film as we could add the things we thought boys and also girls would like. Things we included to make our production appeal to our audience were things such as making our zombie look as real as possible, this meant that the film would look more realistic and not leave the audience to watch and think that none of what is happening could be real. To get the zombie makeup as good as we possibly could we watched many YouTube tutorials on how to do the makeup. We also had our zombie practice movements of zombies so that they didn’t look out of place in the film when in the makeup. We also used correct outfits to appeal to the audience and our target audience, due to the target audience being mature we could not simply try to get away with the nurse not being in a nurse outfit, so we had her in an actually nurses outfit. Things that have been successful in the making of our film were the edits we used to manipulate the movie, things such as using the jump cuts that we felt were needed, as these break the continuity and add to the feeling of abnormality. This allowed us to clearly hit our aim of showing the post-apocalyptic genre well. Another thing we used well was the props that we had, we used an actual hospital room which yet again made the film more realistic, and created a sense of realism to the audience.

A few things were not so successful in our film, the things such as our film jumping straight into Rudy being in a coma, which people who have seen our film commented on. However we felt that this would be best shown as a flashback once a little further into the movie. We also did not want to give to much away of our film in our opening sequence, it meant people would want to watch on.
