Story board testing against the target audience

After creating our story board, we gave it to people that fitted with our targeted audience and asked them what they thought. This is the feedback they gave:

·         They didn’t approve with the idea of filming in a built up location. They said that the opening would fit more with the thriller genre if it was in a small isolated location. We have chosen to film in this sort of location because it will appeal more to our audience.

·         They agreed with the use of the table prop in the middle of the room. They said that this would make the character on screen look more mysterious and will create tension as the video goes on. We have decided as a group that this will be definitely be in our thriller and will be one of the most obvious props.

·         They said that another effective prop for our thriller was the lamp on the table. The lamp will light up what’s on the table. Such as the photographs, notebook and gun but will keep the face of the killer hidden. This will make the thrilling nature of the video more effective.

·         The storyboard testers also said that our thriller plot fits well with its genre. They said that it will be successful in keeping the audience on edge and will build tension throughout the 2 minutes.
