Evaluation Activity 5

In this evaluation task i will be talking about how we attracted or addressed our audience within the opening couple of minutes of our film. We focused on using a lot of genre conventions and the use of music and also similarities to other films to be able to attract our audience. Below are some captures of parts of our film where i believed we were attracting our target audience.

Right from the start of the film within the first 10 seconds we had already used something that is very similar to other films within our genre. Within Football Factory trains are used all the time throughout the film they transport the hooligans from place to place so we thought as an opening picture we would show a train going past to show the football side of it and also The south west train shows that it is located in London where West Ham football club are

based.

The next part of our film where i believe we attracted some of our audience is when the two hooligans realise who they can see and they start to chase him. this is where the film starts to get exciting as there is some action. some background music is also played it is fast paced to add tension within the scene.All of this attracts the audience as it makes things exciting and therefore makes the audience want to watch more into the film. This is another genre convention the fact that there is a chase scene. There are many different chase scenes in other similar films such as Football Factory. The last snap shot of the film that i have got is seen below. it is a capture from one of the fight scenes within the film. these fight scenes are what I believe attracts a lot of our target audience this is because I know that they enjoy a lot of action and fighting especially themselves when they are at football as my target audience are football hooligans. I think that when my audience sees this in the film they will be even more attracted and want to see even more. they will also willing to tell there friends about it this then increases the amount of people who come and watch our film. This once again is similar to other films of our genre. Football Factory is full of fight scenes that have a lot of blood and that is one of the reasons why it became so well known so we believe by including this type of scenes the audience will increase.
