Foundation Portfolio Evaluation Questions:
QU 5
Using our intended target audience, we attracted them using similar conventions that would be in other horror films, similar to ours.
We tried to use a few intercut shots to make
it look fast paced as we thought this would attract the audience.
As the older teenage audience liked suspension in their horror films. We had a variety of shot types also would make the film more interesting and varied. The films contrasting music with the lullaby and the harsher sounds would fit in nicely together as the overall mis-en scene with the flickering lights would feel quite daunting. And as the whole birthday cake idea is suppost to be cute and happy, although we show it as being the opposite as she wishes for them all to be dead.
Also when researching, we looked at the type of character to have, as we were doing a physiological we thought a young ‘innocent’ girl would be well suited as this most appeals in horror films. Using makeup we made the overall effect attract the audience and draw them into our shots. Also the birthday scene is quite action packed so the audience are drawn into it. Moreover the slow, creepy movements would be good at times to put in as the audience can then really see what’s happening, as our researched showed that the audience like tension and surprise. Our element of surprise was that at the end all the children were gone when the lights came on, so I feel that we attracted our audience with these conventions and story line. I also feel the mis-enscene throughout the film makes the tension increase.
The girl who inspired us from the Amityville horror, innocent looking, we wanted the girl to look similar to her as we used her as inspiration.

It's good to find our audience feedback so we know our strengths and weaknesses for future reference. |
- From our evaluation research questionnaire, it tells us that our film was good in terms of ranging from different camera angles.
- They also said the lighting was really effective.
- They thought it was also great how it leaves you hanging at the end with a cliffhanger, and this is what our target audience said they liked at the beginning, this shows we successfully met their needs.
