Evaluation Activity 4: What would be the audience of your media product?

Our target audience would be young adults.

As young adults, they could have a wide range of different tastes, but most young adults do tend to like horror films, as they are funny to watch and when watching them in big groups, creates something easy that everyone can do.

Ideally, they wouldn't be too scared of horror's otherwise the content of the film would lead them to think the film was a poor production.

They would listen to a wide range of music, the people in the photos above would like Heavy Metal, Rock, Pop and Musical Soundtracks.

They would probably shop at places like HMV, or clothes shops such as Topshop/Topman ETC.

 

They would watch out film as it is reminiscent of Scream, a well known horror film, only with a supernatural element added.

 

Evaluation Activity 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

 

 

Alessa (Silent Hill) VS The Killer (Our Film)

 

 

• In Silent Hill, Alessa pulls a mother and her daughter into the alternate dimension called Silent Hill, where there is a town of people who practive medieval style sacrifices. Our killer takes her victims to an alternate dimension and then kills them there, this is one of the similarities.
• Both are females and have a supernatural ability, which is something that you see quite a lot in horror films.
• Both kill their victims in unpleasant ways. Alessa kills her victime by wrapping them in barbed wire, and ours kills them by slitting their throat and throwing their corpse off of a high platform.
• Both look young.
• One of the differences between the characters is that Alessa pulled the mother and daughter there so that she could be freed from being a spirit, and get revenge on the people that sacrificed her when she was a little girl, but our Killer kills people because she wants to, and has the urge to do so.

 

The Victim (Our Film) VS Casey Becker (SCREAM)

 

• Both characters are home alone in the beginning scenes of their films.
• Both characters walk around their houses before meeting the killer.
• Both characters interact with a scary movie in some way or another.
• They are both killed in the oepning scenes of their films.
• The difference is that my character never truly interacts with the killer before he is killed, but Casey talks to the killer on the phone, who taunts her about murdering her boyfriend.
• And the difference in gender, usually it is a girl/woman who is killed in the opening scene's of a horror film.
