Target Audience Research

Mean Girls is a more common and well known movie. It is from 2004 so it is more up to date but it has a good focus group, teenage girls. This is most commonly a girl's favorite chick-flick. It is a comedy but its a tad over rated because it is pretty stereotypical towards girls. The film was persuasive in it producing because girls are looking for a chick-flick.  It has a very humorous plot that  keeps the audience laughing and enjoying the movie.

Target Audience Research

Ferris Bueller's Day Off had a huge target towards teenagers. They marketed their product by radios and TV screens but also posters. It was a popular film and if you didn't hear about it then your friends did. The talk about the movie had people loving it, when more people talk the more it gets out there for people to go and see it. It was persuasive because many people wanted a funny movie and this movie had it all and many were talking nonstop about it. Not to mention people would watch it over and over again.

Target Audience- Our Film

My audience is around the teenage years but it can also be looked at the siblings point of view and that can be any age group. It is particularly any type of gender because of the group we are looking into. The range can be from teens in high school to adulthood as well. The film is a brother and sister hanging out together and you see the brothers fear when his sister goes missing. This is supposed to catch the audience's attention because of the connection they have with the characters.

Social Groups

The social group that we are looking at is younger people and or people that live near Siesta Key. The relationship between siblings could also be a social group because it shows how the actors are as siblings. It also shows that older brothers are very over protective with their little siblings especially sisters. Our movie is based off of the beach and the people on the beach. We are trying to catch the attention of the people around the area. Siesta Key is a well known area and a lot of people know the beach for it's beautiful scenery and sand but they do not know the backside of it with all the mystery and missing people.

Plans for the Revision

There are many revisions that are going to be needed to change. Our first shot of the movie was a very rough draft hence the reason on why there is no sound and shaky camera. We are going to have reshoot the scenes that aren't clean enough. There are some script sentences that need to be revised and changed to make the storyline more compelling. I think the location is going to be changed to away from the water just because of the sound issues. Along with the posters we have, they will be hung up around the area instead of in the sand. Editing will be more seamless and title will be posted longer.

Feedback

These are the types of feedback our group got from the class. 

• Shaky camera with pan of ocean and officer scene
• Title was to fast
• Clothes and flyers not focused 
• Need more info on missing people
• Actually hang the posters
• More compelling reason for brother to leave
• DO NOT PASS 2:45

Short Film Final

This is my finished product for the movie. As I do know I will need to make revisions for next quarter to make the movie seamless.
