Planning: Target Audience Feedback

In order to ensure that our film opening appealed to our target audience, we decided to create a group discussion (with people within our target audience age) and ask them questions; it allowed us to discover their preferences, opinions and ideas. As well as this, it supplied us with suggestions which we can use within the first 2 minutes of our film.





The group discussion enabled my group and I to solidify ideas for the opening of our horror film, such as:

• The scene will be filmed at dusk in order to make the visuals scarier.
• The personality of each individual character.
• To incorporate scenes from the past and present for example, flashbacks and newspaper articles.
• To include jump scares, maybe a few fake jump scares.
• Perhaps keep the killer unseen to add hints of mystery.
• The scenes should be staggered instead of flowing to create an element of confusion.
• To have a type of branding on Damon's hand to show that he's been possessed.
• 'The Woken Woods' will be our movie title.
