Film Project- Audience Engagement Research (It)

My film and the movie It are similar in many different aspects. One way they are similar is our targeted audience. It targeted the younger generation using clowns and teenagers being the main characters to spark teens interests. It marketed their product by using billboards, TV, trailers, and social media. One persuasive technique they used was they had their actors and actresses use their own social media accounts to post about it and show their fans a new film they were starring in. This was very smart because there were very well known actors and actresses in the film that could've brought people who weren't interested in the plot to still see the movie because they're favorite celebrities were in it. One aspect I would use to market my film would be, different online and digital ways to reach out to people and to make a trailer and show it during TV commercials to spread awareness of the new film.

Film Project- Audience Engagement Research (Hush)

My film, and the movie Hush are similar in many different aspects. One way they are similar is our targeted audience. Hush is about a serial killer going around and killing random people in neighborhoods and torturing them. This plot is somewhat similar to my film. Hush marketed their film with social media and billboards around the country. Some persuasive techniques they used were, adding it to different streaming services so you didn't have to leave the comfort of your own home to watch the film. Hush used, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter to give everyone a chance to hear about their new film. One aspect I would use to show my film would be to, put billboards up, and the radio so people driving in their cars would be able to see and hear different things about the film.

Film Project- Audience Engagement Research (Get Out)

Our movie is somewhat similar to the movie Get Out in a few different aspects. Some different ways our movie relates is by the audience. Our target audiences are very similar, Get Out targeted the same by age and the same personalities of people as our film. Some different ways our targeted audiences are similar is, both genres are horror. Get Out marketed their film using different social media accounts, trailers, and ads on YouTube. Some persuasive techniques they used were, showing other popular movies made by the same directors in the beginning of their trailer. Some aspects I would use to market my film is, social media, trailers, and posters around town to bring people into the movie theater.

Film Project- Art of the title

The art of the title shows different ways movie titles were made and what the first couple minutes of the movie looks like. One movie title that stuck out to me was Get Out, and how they started off the movie. It starts with a man walking down the street in the dark, then a car slowly drives next to the man playing loud music. The man then begins to walk faster and faster down the street to try to get away from the strange car. A man then jumps out of the car and tackles the other man walking down the street. He throws him into the trunk then drives away. The camera automatically cuts to the title Get Out and it is passing by a plethora of trees to show the place they're going is very far away and remote from anywhere else. This title was one of my favorites because the movie is somewhat relatable to the film I am making.

Film Project- My Target Audience

Our target audience for this film is people who like to be scared and leave the movie theater feeling satisfied but also creeped out by what they just watched. The audience we are trying to appeal to in this film is, the younger generation who enjoys the eerie feeling you get while watching a horror movie. No matter what country you're in, we think this is enjoyable for everyone. Our product is appealing to these people because, teens, and early twenties love to watch movies that give them the creeps.

Film Project- Feedback and Revisions

Based on the feedback we received from presenting our midterm submission, we plan to re-film almost all of our movie. For example, we will be re-filming most of the suspenseful scenes in order to make the audience feel scared. We will also be changing the wardrobe of our actors and actresses to make the movie feel more real. By doing small and easy fixes like this to our film, it will help us reach our goal of the movie which is to create a suspenseful film that everyone can enjoy. We will carry out these changes by choosing a day to re-film with our crew and buy some new wardrobe choices from the store.
