Analysis of Filming

Successes and Failures of the Filming Practice

Successes

In the filming task we were able to get all the shots that we planned to use, which were: Match on Action, Rule of Thirds and 180 Degree rule.

This allowed us to make the video look very realistic as if the person watching the video was actually in the video, talking to the people because of the 180 Degree rule and the use of Match on Action to make it look as if the viewer was the person opening the door and shaking hands with the other people.

Failures

This video failed because the very first clip is very blurry at the beginning when I walk up the stairs, this would look better if the footage started with me behind the wall and then walking up the stairs because it would look more believable and less blurred. 

Another failure is when I enter the room the video jumps straight to a hand shake where the last shot shows me only just entering the room, which looks very unrealistic because it looks like I have jumped a few metres from one shot to the next shot.

Target Audience

How will we attract our target audience?

In order to attract the younger age groups, as in teenagers, the storyline has to be exciting, interesting and action packed. Furthermore, it needs to be displayed on the correct form of social media so that it is seen by all people of that age. This means that to attract teenagers the best social media site to try and attract our target audience would be twitter because it is the most used social site at the moment.

In order to attract people of an older age than teenagers you would need to have an exciting, interesting and action packed storyline but also have a higher intellectual storyline than those aimed purely at teenagers and because our opening sequence will be aimed at both we will need to have a slightly intellectual storyline that will still make sense to those of a younger age. Also, the best form of media that people of an older age than teenagers is usually newspapers and billboards.
