Question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?

To attract our audience we thought about putting our opening sequence on YouTube, as our target audience could easily access it as well as posting it on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr as social networking is a major part of teenagers lives and it means that many people all over the world could see it.

Overall I got really good feedback from everyone that I had shown the opening sequence to. I interviewed my team mate and close friend who is too in a collective with me. He is a creative visual art director and films all our music video's, trailers, party footage etc. I thought he'd be the best person to show it to as it is his main passion and he has knowledge and is used to being behind the camera.

Me: What genre do you think this opening sequence is?

Jordan: I think its a thriller or some sort of teen drama, not horror as I haven't seen blood yet. 

Me: What did you think of the editing?

Jordan: Yeah I like it, I found it great to watch. I thought the beginning was really good, the blurring of vision was great, I'm the one that normally uses that technique! Your production logo was amazing, it took me ages to be able to master ours, as you know, but I felt it gave such a professional look to your opening sequence. All editing seemed to be done so well, you guys did great! The text and credits were cool to, simple black and white can do wonders.

Me: And opinions on the camera angles?

Jordan: You handled the camera very well, using varying camera angles, establishing shots, close ups and all that jazz, which always makes something more interesting. I loved the handheld camera of it swaying when the girl was drinking, very artistic I must say.

Me: What was the soundtrack like for you?

Jordan: Fitted the genre very well, instantly added suspense and kept me engaged which is a success as my attention span isn't great. I felt that maybe a song could have been used to attract a younger market, just to break it up a bit. The voice over was so dark and mysterious, nice little enigma there.

Me: What went well and what needs improving?

Jordan: To be honest I think you did remarkably well with only three of you to a group, I felt all of it was really professional and you have done so well. The only improvements would be varying of sound to modernise it a bit and better quality cameras however I think everything was done to such a high standard. So impressed and proud!
