The certificate for our film would be 15+ as by looking at other audiences and institutions, it showed that their films were also similiar with the age (with some being 18 because of their genre). We believe that some scenes would be inappropriate for younger viewers for example the crushing of the pills and making of a poisonous substance. However, as ours isn't a thriller on its own, it isn't necissary for the certificate to be 18. Our audience can relate to many gratification theories to our product, for example, the main one being 'personal relationships' as some may have the same issues and try to relate to the characters within the film, or 'diversion' where people tend to escape from their everyday lives.
The opening builds up suspense and aims to keep you hooked from the very start, and we know (as being teenagers ourselves) that we can get bored very easily so if something isn't as eye-catching in the beginning, we wouldn't want to continue watching it. Also by understanding that the majority of our responses from the market research preferred the opening to build up suspense, we aimed to apply it to our final product. The first two minutes of a film are essential, as it needs to catch your attention so that the audience can feel a part of the film. We took all these considerations into account to make our final product.
It is a stereotypical assumption that most boys tend to like thrillers, whilst the girls swayed to the dramas so we knew this would appeal greatly to both genders. Having done our first edit, we received audience feedback (from our class and people we knew both in and out of college) which showed both males and females liking the opening. We decided to take their notes and suggestions on board and adapt to what we believed would be the best outcome and managed to complete our final product.Just before we made our first edit, one main thing that needed to be changed were the credits as the colour and font was illegible as it clashed with the background, so we changed that to big and bald white writing so it was clear for all to see.
One of the feedback comments we received were "the music worked well" which made our decision clear that we should work with it and change our rushes to expand our first edit into our final piece.
