Our movie was mainly aimed at drama/Crime watchers as a large part at the beginning was aimed to build up the drama for the scene. We also used a lack of sound and dialogue, shot in a dark, murky environment and also used many long shots to get the audience familiar with the setting and "the house". The lack of sound at the beginning gave an impression that the character in focus was not meant to be their and they were up to no good. As young people are a huge audience to television drama, having a young character will make them more likely to connect with the opening shot. However, we didn't realise until after shooting, that is was portraying "young people", in a negative image. It showed the main young character committing a crime. Our movie unfortunately gives the impression of "thug teenagers".
From this experience, we have learnt that shooing at particular times of the day is important, as it is now winter, it becomes dark very quickly and makes shooting on different days very difficult. we also learnt that we should let the camera run 5 seconds before and 5 seconds after the needed clip, as it can be very irritating if some footage is lost. For our final piece, we will make sure to create a more detailed log of when actors are arriving and times, so the shoot flows better and also start researching our props now, so we are sure to be ready for the next shoot.
This is a reasonable evaluation although when you come to do the real one you will need to write in a lot more detail. However, you've covered a range of areas including technical and audience, which is the kind of thing you need to be doing. Make sure you do your research!
