For audience responses to my recreation video, I found five people of different age, occupation and gender to give me a range of responses. The different range of audience responses may help me identify any patterns, if they so exist.
A: Intermediate student, 12yrs, Female.
B: Psycology Student, 22, Male.
C: Teacher, 52, Female.
D: Waitress, 17, Female.
E: IRD Worker/Drag Queen, 20, Male.
I have found that three of my five audience members have seen this film. ( B, D, E ) The two who have not seen this film are both the youngest and oldest members of my audience response team. (12 years of age, and 52 years of age) Which has lead me to the conclusion that the film that I have recreated is aimed at/is more appealing to a certain age group.
“I love that movie!! I have seen it so many times I could probably talk along word for word!” ( D ) Contrasting to “I’ve seen the film… but I don’t actually remember what its about.” ( B )
This shows that the film ‘Easy A’ is more appealing to a certain type of demographic. A reason in which I cannot specify weather this film is more appealing to a female or male audience is because gender does not apply to my audience response members.
“I know that movie, Its so funny! I think I may have watched a couple of times maybe?” ( E ) This backs up my ideas of gender not being applicable to the responses, and therefore I cannot identify any patterns within the range of responses based on the gender of the response team.
“Very good, you came across as slightly upset? It seems appropriate.” ( C ) This shows that the music and video content worked well together, as I aimed for music to compliment the overall theme to the recreation.
“I like the choice of shots at the beginning panning over different magazine clippings, because that is how the media is seen to everyone else, as a relentless attack on your mind.” ( B ) I am pleasantly surprised by this response. I wasn’t sure that I portrayed the media cultures shots at the beginning clearly, but B has definitely understood what I was trying to convey.
“I liked how you recreated the scene. It was very ‘Zoella-esque’ –A beauty and lifestyle blogger on youtube-“ ( E ) I was aiming for a video-blog style recreation scene, and E has picked up on that, which shows that I was successful in the way I have recreated the scene from Easy A.
Overall, from the range of responses from my audience team, I have made very few opposing patterns. The only thing that has really stood out is the age group that this film seems to be aimed at, as three of the five audience members are aged from teenage-young adults.
