One of the ways in which we attracted our audience was within our opening sequence of the film we used title screens to show our viewers the main characters/ stars as you can see in this screen shot. The reason we have chosen to do this is because it shows the audience our stars, in this case it is our upcoming stars. By having a certain star in a film it automatically brings a group of followers to the film already to a certain extent. This is why we chose to do this within our opening sequence to try and draw in more fans and followers of the film.
In order for us to receive feedback on our opening sequence we created a short questionnaire asking our audience about the mis-en-scene, the location, if the genre was established, and if they would carry on watching the film. The results came back mostly positive and helped us with what we could improve to our film. The results also gave us a feel in what our audiences first impressions were which help us see whether our film would be a hit or a flop.
We decided to go onto the BBFC official website to view the guidelines in which it suggested our film be a (15) and here are a few of the guidelines that suggest our ratings. Every film that is released to the world must be given a rating. The reason for this is so that the audience know what age you must be to see it and even what the film contains to a certain extent.
The reason that we decided it to be a (15) was because we believed our film fitted within all of sections under the 15 guide lines. We thought this because within our film there is, murder, horror and even sex scenes. None of this is shown within our opening sequence, but if we were to continue to film the rest this would be included.
