Harrison Smith Audience Feedback

1) Is the product a clearly recognisable opening sequence?
The sequence is clearly an opening scene because it establishes the characters, setting, genre, narrative and opens the story for it to be developed later on.

2) Is the genre apparent?
The genre is apparent because generic conventions of British gangster are used, such as suits.

3) Who do you think the target audience is for the product?
Older teenagers and young adults are the selected target audience.

4) Do you think the product would appeal to the target audience? Give reasons for your answer.
It would appeal to target audience because it uses gangster conventions and is also fast paced. It would also appeal to target audience because the actors used were teenagers

5) How well do you think the following technical areas have been addressed – give examples for each:
Cinematography: Good variety of shots used, the opening scene in the pool room was a bit dark it could have been lighter. The opening shot of the mansion is a good way to open a British gangster film.
Sound: Good use of music for the genre because it was upbeat.
Editing: used continuity editing and the cross cutting shots was good.
Mise-en-scene: The pool room, alleyway and suits were a good choice for British gangster.

6) Overall how successful is the finished product? Give an example of something that could be improved and something that worked well.
I liked the narrative, variety of shots and the way you used mise-en-scene to show it was British gangster, to improve your product you could have made it a bit longer. Overall I think your product is very successful and it’s going to be a hit.
