Ideas - extra footage

On Tuesday evening I was on Hastings Seafront and the light was really nice so decided to film. I really like the footage I got and I think it could fit into our opening, especially the montage section. Looking out the window of a car could signify thinking and reflecting something which Fleur would do.

Evaluation question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?
I also interviewed eight more people (7 females, 1 male) ages 16-24 to gather their opinions on our media product. Initially, this is our target audience age range, but we needed to prove our film opening would appeal to them, as well as that our film could possibly reach out to a wider audience, shown in the video. I asked the same questions as the interviews with the wider age ranges, and here are the results:
The results from the video interviews as well as the results from the target audience group show our strong points of our film opening, for example the majority of people interviewed said they found the transitions and effects we used in the montage were 'powerful' and really gave the meloncholic mood we were trying to achieve. Overall, we recieved the most positive feedback from the 16-24 year olds, therefore this would be our target audience.
