Evaluation- Question Five
I showed my opening sequence to a group of my friends who matched the target audience i was aiming for.
This was their comment after watching my piece...
The title of the film at the end, clearly showed the imagery of an elevator, and linked in with the title 'elevation'.
Provided an enigma code of who were the people? And what would happen when they meet?
Close ups of the floor levels on the lift built tension and excitement, as the two men and one man come closer and closer to meeting.
The continuous music track made the sequence more exciting, and had an 'Italian Job' feel about it.
I felt that this was great feedback, they saw what i was aiming for in certain parts of the opening sequence like with the elevator and the Italian job was our first inspiration for the film, they were a group of 16/17 year olds and this showed that it was interesting the target audience I was aiming for. They asked what happens next once this had finished which also was a very positive affect as it shows i gave the enigma code.
The other way we gained feedback was that we went into the town with an IPad and showed our audience the opening sequence we have made, we did not get alot of feedback from this as there were not many facial expressions, i feel this was because it was not a horror or comedy.
When i asked the audience after about feedback the majority wanted to see the film and enjoyed what we had made.

Evaluation- Question Four
My target audience
Aspirers
People who want to change their class and want to be higher, different.
Achievers
Believers who like a challenge and search for a thrill or adrenaline rush.
Succeeders
If they feel like they have got where they wanted to get in life, all that they wanted.
These are the sort of people I think I can attract with my opening sequence; this is because this is quite a fast pace film involving crime and action. Aspirers may like action because it shows things they could want to do in life and a way to be different, giving them a hero or somebody to aspire to.
Achievers would like my opening sequence because the film would show things that would only be attempted by the brave and I believe that achievers would be brave people. Succeeders for many of the same reasons but maybe they have already experienced the thrill so enjoy watching others have theirs.
If you like thrills you have experienced or want to see others experience theirs or are still seeking thrills then I think this film is ideal, it includes crime, stunts, action and a lot of personality. I would say the dominant audience would be between 16 and 30 year olds, this is because this is where I see the majority of the achievers and aspirers being. I feel that this film may be inappropriate for the carer audience and traditional audience as it shows modern and rebellious attributes in the film.
Evaluation- Question Three
Who will distribute my media product and why?
The big mainstream film producers include companies like paramount and Walt Disney, these companies have a lot more money so they can make more copies of the film, and they can do more advertisements and marketing so they can capture all audiences.
These bigger companies also own a big chain and have easier links to cinemas and other smaller film companies.
Because America dominates the film market its harder for a British film to become available on the market, a lot of British companies are actually owned by the larger companies in America.
Or company Tristan productions is a small company and this is their first film onto the market, they had a fairly low budget and targeting on making thrillers for a dominantly young adult target audience, I was inspired by films like the Italian job and ocean’s eleven.
Big companies are unlikely to invest in a low budget British film as the return will not be as great and they probably would not release it into a cinema, to get this film to a cinema it would be easier to go to a mainstream company as they have business chains therefore own links to cinemas. Without this is it expensive to get a film into big cinemas including Odeon and Vue.
Internet distribution is another idea for our film, for less money you can sell digital copies to companies like ITunes to sell on their store, this removes the DVD manufacturing costs and delivery costs.
