Audience Engagement Research- Midnight Sun

This movie is about a girl, Katie Price who has a life-threatening sensitivity to light, but her world changes when she meets a guy. Our movies both relate because just as Mia is trapped in her at home life, so is Katie. The audiences both relate to teenagers and adults. This movie is designed to get people to laugh but cry at the same time. At advance screenings of this movie, they put small boxes of tissues. This could be used as a marketing strategy because most of the time if you cry during the movie then the producers did their job. I mean in the sense that the movie was so good that you cried. I would use social media and billboards as my top marketing strategy because i feel like it get around faster.

Audience Engagement Research- Every Day

This is a movie about a girl that falls in love with a spirit that changes bodies everyday.  These are both drama movies which is how they relate, but also the emotions shown throughout the movie relate to my short film. The target audience relate to almost everyone, but based mostly for teenagers. Using social media and posters as a marketing strategy this movie. Persuasive quotes like, "everyday a different body", "everyday a different life", and "every day in love with the same girl". This can catch audiences attention to go see the movie. This is a very popular strategy to market. 

Audience Engagement Research- Before I Fall

Our target audiences are very similar, both can relate to adults and teenagers. Both movies can relate to the main genre. Using posters, social media, trailer, and promotions this film was advertised to the public. Using the quote, "What if today was the only day of the rest of your life" gives a hint of the movie. This quote leaves people wondering and overall interested in what the movie is going to be about. This makes them want to go see it. Using social media platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and Twitter the commercials gets the word out about the movie more. I would use social media as my main aspect to market my movie.

feedback and Revisions

My film turned out to be done well. From the feedback during presentations i had some things to fix. For the drone shot, i should either redo it or crop it a little because it's too long and takes away from the short film. The film was too short so we are going to add a scene. And last revision was one of the scenes that i was trying to match up was done wrong in sort of a mirror shot so, i will fix that too.

My Target Audience

My target audience is any age, but mostly teenagers. There is no specific gender because any gender can relate to this. Personally i made this because my friend has gone through a lot and i feel like making this video would help her look past all the bad. This product is overall just a message that everyone has problems at home and in their life in general and it will be ok. I hope this product inspires people to find their worth and look at the bright side of life.

Use of Conventions

The genre of my product was drama. This movie relates to real life problems, some people live with. The issue of the movie is that a teenage girl has to live with problems of her parents arguing constantly and living with her alcoholic dad. The conventions of this movie helps show the plot and meaning of this story. Some of these conventions includes the characters. Mia (Hope) is the main character struggling to balance her home and school life. The music convention shows allows us to set the sad mood. Another important convention that explains the meaning of the movie would be the title. "Trapped" gives the product a little meaning behind the story, being "Trapped" with feelings kno one knows about. All in all, the conventions allow for the meaning, mood, and genre to be understood.
