Evaluation question 5
How did you attract/address your target audience?
Our movie 'True Disguise' is rated a 15 certification, therefore this made it slightly easier for us to attract our audience as we know where to find them. This is on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. We also put our opening sequence on YouTube and received a lot of feedback from target audience. The main factor which attracted our younger bracket of target audience ( 15-20) was the protagonist and this is because she is a young female facing many issues such as social awkwardness in her life that is a common issue between these specific ages. The higher bracket of audience (21-35) were also able to relate to this film as the protagonist is shown to be around the age of 34 and is a business woman dressed in formal attire.
In order to record some feedback from the opening title sequence, I interviewed a target audience from the lower age bracket
The person I interviewed is a 16 year old female and she said the following :
' After watching the opening sequence of your film 'True Disguise' I was sitting there, amazed just wanting more! The camera angles and shots used are very effective and helped me to identify the genre of the movie which is Romantic Comedy. I was also starting to feel a connection with the lady in the sequence which I'm guessing is the protagonist and this shows that if this was a real movie I would want to watch all of it to find out who she is and why she is walking around London. The setting is also brilliant! The London Eye is very iconic and shows that a lot of thought has been put into this sequence helping you conform to the ideas of a Rom Com. Also, the season chosen which is Christmas just adds to the genre as a lot of Romantic Comedies are set at such times e.g. Bridget Jones Diary. Overall I really liked your opening title sequence and I identified the genre well which means you have done a great job attracting the correct target audience'

Representation Essay
How do you intend to represent your characters and locations in your film opening?
The genre of the film i'm making is romantic comedy. this will therefore influence my decisions on how the characters will be represented, the locations i chose and the general mood of the clip. The mise-en-scene will also be influenced by the genre; the props, characters, lighting, costumes will have a light, bubbly atmosphere as this will mean that i have conformed to the general stereotype of romantic comedies.
Romantic comedies usually have scenes in atleast one iconic place or in a big city e.g. London, New York. The locations we decided to film in as a group are also symbollic as the opening title sequence will be filmed in London. By doing so, the genre will become a little more obvious once the characters, props, costumes (mise-en-scene) are in place.
The main character in my film opening will be walking through London, and this gives me an opportunity to add effect to the enigma code. This is because the audience will watch the film opening and hopefully want to watch more to find out where she's going and what she's up to. The main purpose of enigma codes is to create mystery.
After watching the film opening, the audience usually begin to expect certain things to happen and this links to stereotypes. In this case the audience will identify the genre and expect a typical narrative theory. Vladimir Propp had a theory that movies tend to have a hero, a villain, a princess, princess' father, the donor, the false hero. These are the characters that the audience usually expect and are very traditional.
Another narrative theory that was created is this: Equilibrium, disruption, recognition of disruption, the attempt to repair and then new equilibrium. This shows that many movies have had this type of narrative for there to be a theory about it.
Overall, as a group we decided that we will generally conform to the genre.

Credits Timeline
We made a credits timeline because it helps to organize the credits in the sense that the producers will know which order they come into the title sequence.
