Social networking and video distribution

In today's lesson, we created a Facebook page for our thriller- Faded.

We can make use of this page to get the audience's attention and get feedback, so as to improve our thriller. Also we created an Youtube account so we can upload our footages and experimental videos to get feedbacks through comments and likes.

 

Other than that, we went on to www.dafont.com and looked at different fonts we can make use of for the title sequence.

Audience feedback

This lesson we started editing our new raw footage for the start of our sequence. After editing part of our film we showed it to our target audience in order to receive feedback. We received extremely positive feedback in the effect and reaction from the audience we wanted to achieve. They thought that the footage and the scenario is very realistic and similitude.

SKY MEDIA- TEXTUAL ANALYSIS

This lesson we investigated television audiences for channels such as "Sky Media". In doing this my group and I should be able to gage and identify our type of Viewer and our target market. Sky, a brand with many channels such as sky sports, sky movies, sky boxoffice, etc. My film is a psychological thriller and som my group and I was interested in what sought of audience would watch Sky's thriller channels such as Sky's,  "Crime and Thriller" channel.

Sky has described this channel and its film features as "gritty noirs and gangster sagas, this channel is all about edge-of- the-seat plot twists and gripping tales of the underworld. Full of mystery, murder and tension, it's always worth investigating."

Information we found interesting and useful in how they identified their viewer audience.
