AUDIENCE RESEARCH: EXIT POLLS

I have put together a visual representation to show the research and data i have collected for audience. I have picked 5 films, similar to the film that i am planning to make. The genre of these films are similar as they are mostly horror, detective or thriller films. To gain this research i used the helpful BFI website, allowing me to pick out the relevant quantitate data i needed and then go on to make pie charts for gender and age for each film. This gave me a better visual representation and clearly showed me what sort of people watch these specific films. I also collected qualitative data, showing the audiences opinions on the films they watched.

REPRESENTATION: SOCIAL GROUPS

In today's lesson i created a Pinterest board to show the social groups that i would expect to see who would watch my film. By using Pinterest i am able to show who my social groups will be in a clear and formatted way. According to what the topic is, that picture will go in a certain board group, to clearly set out the different topics that i will be making. My first board is for social groups, and for each picture i have "pinned" i have said why it fits into my social group.



Click the picture to the left to go to my live Pinterest board for social groups.

This is a spooky house, in a rural location, with nobody around, very isolated old house.This is where the kidnapper lives, emphasising his strangeness. Furthermore, the house looks unloved, with nobody properly looking after it, this suggests that he hasn't the money to stabilise and do up the house, representing his lower class in society. This may intrigue the audience as particular social groups are interested in spooky, deserted houses as they may ask themselves - what does he get up to in that house? why does he live there? why has he cut himself off from the rest of the world? This therefore adds suspense and suspicion to the film and the character. 

Dark hooded man with his face being half covered by shadow and his face is blurred and not in focus with the camera, emphasising his mysteriousness and trying to protect his identity. He is also holding a gun at someone/thing, highlighting his dangerousness and how he is possibly capable of murder. this is similar to the kidnapper in my film opening as there is a scene with a gun in it. This will interest young teenagers or young men/ women as they tend to be interested in horror/detective films. 

UPDATE OF TRELLO

Here is another update for my Trello list.

DISTRIBUTION CASE STUDY: TORTOISE IN LOVE:

In todays lesson I watched the trailer for the film "Tortoise In Love" and then researched the film to see how they were able to distribute their film. With the help of BFI Print and Advertising, a small, crowd-sourced film was able to gain distribution. Its story is told HERE.

As i am making a low budget, independent film myself, it was interesting to see how this particular film producer was able to get their film released and to a wider audience and i intend to do similar things to gain distribution for my film.

This is the official website for the film. Click HERE to preview the site.

DISTRIBUTION: THE HUNGER GAMES

In todays lesson I tracked how distributors publicized The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. From my research I learnt that distributors use a variety of different methods in order to distribute their film and when I market my film I would make do things such as creating a twitter, tumblr and Facebook page aswell to publicise my film. Below is a slideshare presentation to shows how they have done this.
