We achieved this by carrying out a questionnaire in order to find out what film genres people enjoyed the most, from the results we gathered, we found out that the majority of people that enjoyed films with a horror and drama aspect in were aged around 15, therefore our target audience is set at people of any gender between the ages of 15-30, however, I believe that this genre is enjoyed mostly by females. This is also reflected in our film classification of '15'. My class were shown a rough cut of our film opening and appeared to enjoy it, after being given some feedback we worked on this to improve our final edition as this feedback was given by people within our target audience. It was difficult to attract an audience as like other film companies would, we didn't have the budget to advertise our film, basing a trailer and advertisements on what people within this age range would enjoy. Which in most industries is an easy way of addressing a particular audience. I feel that if we were to have been given more time 'The Angel's Claw Productions' could have accessed social networking sites in order to freely advertise our film 'The Killer's Heart' and gain feedback, making major improvements to our final film opening. If I'm honest, I feel that myself and Natalie could have come up with some better ideas regarding our film opening, however, I have not let this affect the outcome of our production. I am extremely happy with how it has turned out, although, like how anyone would be feeling, of course we could have done better. I feel we have attracted the right audience to enjoy our production which will leave them wanting more.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

As we decided upon producing the opening two minutes of a horror/drama, we watched some opening clips of films within this genre/sub-genre combination, finding one which we particularly liked. 'The Devil's Backbone' has a poetical theme to it, so we chose to develop this in our production. During the opening scene there is a poem being read out by me, the story line to our film is summed up in the poem however the film adds twists to it throughout. We have also developed the forms and conventions of horror films in our horror aspect of the film because we typically use a young girl as a victim, and blood can be seen in the opening two minutes in order to establish that there is going to be more blood in the film which is a convention of a horror film. A convention of a horror/drama is that a female usually dies within the first five minutes of the film which we have developed into our film as there are images of a female character who appears to be dead. Another convention is that females exhibit strength and intelligence, and our murderer, which is female show strength and intelligence through murdering victims and avoiding being caught, however we have also challenged this convention by having a female murderer as this is usually the role of a male in horror/drama films.
