Evaluation Q4: Who would be the audience for your media product?

Name: Ella Volpe
Candidate Number:9174

We gave our piece a 15 rating so this age and above would be the most suitable and preferred audience for our film. Furthermore, we said that we wanted to focus on targeting predominantly teens of of both genders.

the film would also reside well with a female audience due to our strong female protagonist. she stand alone as a character and has a back story that's sad and isolated, which makes her appeal to a wider audience who don't necessarily like the horror/thriller genre but do identify with the protagonists story/ background. 

 We choose to dress our protagonist in a white dress because it would make for the juxtaposition between her darker actions and the purity of her nature. This would hopefully bring in a wider audience of people who were sympathetic to our main character.

Finally, our story-line is 'American' which would create a mass audience as these are the sorts of films with big interesting plot and suspense that appeal to more than one type of viewer.

Pre-Production: CASTING, COSTUME & PROPS

   

CASTING

once we'd established our films overall storyline and had drawn up the storyborad. we began to think about the look that we wanted our chracter to have. We decided that we needed to have her as a very mysterious character with long hair and long nails just to add that sense of how long she had been there, to get further ideas about our character we watched some horror openings and decided to base 'the visitor' on the chracters from the ring and from the grudge.

    

    

This really heped us to develop the character well as we had a baisc idea of how she would look. inthe end we cast our firend Saffron Uppal in the part of the visitor as she fit the brief best, and t can safely be said that she played the part excellently and was a great fit to our breif.

COSTUME

as we were basing our character on the two themes above we wanted our character to be wearing a long white dress. As you might expect it's a lot harder to find a long white nightgown stile dress anywhere these days and I spent a few days goign around the shops in town trying to find the right dress. ni the end we had to give up looking for this and we compromised to instead use a short white dress, which eventually worked out well.

- This is the dress we used 

PROPS

As we were filming outdoors with only one character, very few props were needed. We had a piece of cardboard for her to stand on so that her feet didn't get all dirty/wet and that she wasn't standing in anything awful as she had to be bare foot in the woods 

. we had  chair for her to sit on between cuts and we had a rug on which we laid out all of the equipment we needed so that we could see it all but is was also all protected from the mud and water on the ground.
