Narrative Evaluation

Narrative Evaluation

After our media group carried out a task that involved us receiving feedback about our film/music video narratives, it gave me a chance to see what other people my age and older think of my film narrative and what could be added to make sure it appeals to my demographic. By receiving this feedback I have been given the chance to see what was good and bad about my film narrative and any suggestions they had.

 I gave my peers a choice between two film narratives and the majority of the group decided that the second proposal was the most entertaining and attractive narrative.  However, a common piece of advice that occurred was to decide on whether my main character is going to be a male or female and after I received this information I went around the group and asked which sex could the viewer rather see be the main character in my trailer. After I conducted this piece of research I found that the majority of the group would rather see a female as the main character as females are seen as the more vulnerable and helpless gender.

 The positive that my peers found in my narrative is that many of them liked the depth I went into with the actions that the victim is going to be performing in the film. Also the idea of having flashbacks and close up shots were also identified to be a positive as these are editing and camera shot techniques are associated with horror movies. The reason why my co students preferred my second proposal was that this narrative allowed the viewer to put their own interpretation on what’s going to happen throughout the movie and this seemed to be a good idea as a connection is made with the viewer.
