peer assessment of storyboard

Peer assessment comments;
positive

• It is apparent in the story board of what the genre is in the movie. You can tell this by the choice of colors and the chosen shots.
• There is a good amount of titles and credits and they are appropriate

Neggitive

• The mise on scene needs to be more appropriate and relevant to the theme. Such as a scary old house to fit with the horror theme
• The non diegetic sound needs to be effective and fit with the chosen genre.

What i am going to do to improve my work 

To change my work to make it better and get a better grade i am going to change the mise on scene. Firstly im going to change the setting that i am going to use when filming. I am going to look for a place that fits with the horror theme, so therefore i want to find a place that is scary such as an obandened house or an old cottage. Also i am going to try and choose a better veriety of shots that i choose whilst filming. Another thing i need to do is make some good non diogetic music that i will use when the titels are on the screen, that will fit with the theme.

primary audience research

I conducted some primary audience research.

The target audience i am aiming at is quite a wide range audience although it would be aimed at over 15 year olds as it is a horror. Most people that watch horrors will of watched many high budget horror films and therefore i will need to make mine look quite profeshional. My target audience will be teenagers and young adults. Things with lots of action appeal to this target audience as they like to be hooked on a film. They also like drama and a good storyline. The things that teenagers don't like are classical fonts and colour's. I think that a horror is a great theme for my movie as it has loads of drama and is one of the most popular with this age group.

This is the starting sequence of the movie i chose to be analised



The questions that i asked people in my class where;

What do you think of the font used in the credits?
What do you think of the way the credits are presented on the screen?
What do you think of the music used on the credits?
How does the music fit with the theme of the movie?
What do you feel when you watch the opening sequence?
What three things do you like about the opening?
