Before we started to make the opening sequence we handed out some questionnaires to people to ask them questions such as: what is your favourite genre? what aspect do you like of that genre? what is the best psycho thriller movie you've seen? From this questionnaire we looked at what the things were that people enjoyed about psycho thrillers, like interesting camera work and interesting story lines.
We specifically wanted to aim this movie at a younger audience from the ages 15-30, so when we finished it, we had a peer assessment in which the other students in our class watched our sequence and gave us feedback. Most were impressed with the camera work and one response said that the blinking effect did not work.
To enhance our research on whether our film attracted our target audience, we uploaded the video on youtube in which we got a few comments. The response was all positive and I feel like we accomplished our goal to create a piece that had interesting camera work and very clear genre conventions. The first comment says that the camera angles were 'artistic' and in my audience post, I mentioned that the target audience were most probably arty and appreciate psychedelic ideas.
