Preparation for my evaluation Q3

I created a survey to get feedback from my target audience whether anything was missing from the documentary, what was interesting about it etc.. so I can get a better insight and narrow down the key codes of conventions that work well with my demographic.

Overall this bar graph presents how women and men equally enjoyed the documentaries elements including the mise en scene, sound, characters and editing. I chose to make this study as I wanted to see who felt as though specific conventions worked effectively incorporated in my documentary. Overall, I feel as though my target demographic according to gender to equally halved, which enables me to look at both gender's interests and focus on all conventions in order for it to appeal to all my target audience.

I chose to study the percentages of diverse ages that found my documentary interesting to focus and narrow down on my specific target demographic. I learn't from this research that my main target audience was from the ages of (16-19), therefore taught me that advertising on online social media platforms would be the most efficient way as my audience frequently use this. Also, enabled me to collect feedback and information online from this audience on improvements and effective aspects on my documentary so, I could improve on specific elements. On the other hand, there are substantial percentages of other ages interested causing a digital divide but, I will also target through magazines, newspapers and TV trailers. In addition, I learn't to still include less modern ideas and factual elements an older generation will be interested in.

Film poster analysis

Anchorage- words that accompany the picture e.g. 'The past never dies it kills' I think the anchorage is used as one of the main focus points of the poster because of the crisp white italics harshly contrasting against the faded black background. The colour tone and contrasting immediately catch the audiences eye. In addition, the short and snappy anchorage has a underlying dark message personifying the past which makes it interesting so, draws in the audience in. Preferred reading- When audiences respond to the product the way media producers want/expect them to: I feel that the audience responds to the poster with a burst of adrenaline and terror due to the graphic and eye- catching image which is the producers aim. In addition, when I first saw the poster I felt on edge and shocked at how realistic the image is. I think the producers aim for the audience to feel extremely on edge to convey the full effect of demonic possession and all the other underlying

Amy Winehouse documentary: 5 shot analysis

This is a medium close up shot and a wide angle view capturing her substantial fan base on a worldwide level. The narrator is talking about how she tries to disappear from her life which could imply through her substance addiction and abuse which correlates with the shot as it shows her drinking. Amy looks slightly disoriented/dazed which matches the narration perfectly mediating her in a very negative light. In this shot, the lighting is very dark and dull which is unusual because when she is performing the lighting should be bright and vibrant. The mise en scene is the crowds of people in the background which highlights Amy's pure popularity through her talent. I feel as though Amy is the focus in this shot as the dark lighting makes her boldly stand out against the crowd. The shot slowly fades out as the background soundtrack of Amy quietens and fades which is very effective as it increases the intensity of audiences sympathy and sadness for her. This is a extreme close up
