4&5) Who would be the audience of your media product and how did you attract them?

When making our title sequence we had to make sure we were always thinking of our target audience. To the right is a picture of a handwritten list of Psychographics and I scanned this into the computer which I then edited over the top to allow you to see which sections apply to our title sequence. The written part in blue is the bit I wrote in Paint as it then makes it easier to read and understand.










After making the list I then posted my video onto a group which I made on the social networking site -Facebook. With in this group I added lots of people that were in my target audience. I then wrote questions that I wanted them to answer. I got a lot of positive answers and some also that really helped with understanding different views. 
Below I have included the screen shots of the comments that my target audience posted. As your'll read from the comments most of the people enjoyed the video but mainly enjoyed the last shot of the phone ringing as this was scary and created a lot of mystery. A few people commented on the titles themselves and thought the writing at times was hard to read. Everybody however did say they like the music as it provides a lot of tension and matches the theme of horror very well.


















As you can see from the comments most people really enjoyed it as it created a lot of tension and made them want to see what happens next which is what we wanted to achieve. I was very surprised to see that most people thought it was more thriller than horror but I think they are very similar. A lot of people said that wanted more to happen in the title sequence but at the start we said that we didn't want to much to be shown as it creates an enigma code. We though if we showed to much with the titles then they perhaps wouldn't want to see the rest of the film. If I had time to edit my title sequence one last time I would take these comments into account and try and match what they want as it will allow our title sequence to be loved in many ways by all.
Overall I have had some positive feedback that's really effective for my target audience of 15-19 years  both male and female.
