An art film (also known as art movie, specialty film, art house film, or in the collective sense as art cinema) is the result of filmmaking which is typically an independent film aimed at a niche market rather
than a mass market audience. An art film is "intended to be a serious artistic work, often experimental and
not designed for mass appeal"; they are "made primarily for aesthetic reasons rather than commercial
profit" and they contain "unconventional or highly symbolic content."

•Some of them didn’t watch or like any horror films.
•The older audience proffered classic old horror films.
•They were very into the classic conventions of horror films.
•Most weren't scared of clowns.

Media Students FeedbackI received a different perspective as the audience
was a younger generation and knew more about media conventions and codes.
FEEDBACK ON ROUGH CUT OF CIRQUE
1.Our peers thought that our establishing shots were too light and un-threatening so they suggested that we grade the images so that they are darker and build on the
idea that the trailer is for a horror.
![Page 23: Real a2 media studies evaluation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051108/54696dceaf7959e3018b5bf4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2.They said they thought the clown (the killer) is introduced to early on in the trailer and they think it would be better if he was introduced near
the end to create shock, but our best visual shots had the clown in and we really like using the spinning tunnel at the beginning as we find it quite
chilling so we discussed it and because of the abstract art house aspects we wanted we decided to keep that shot at the beginning.
![Page 24: Real a2 media studies evaluation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051108/54696dceaf7959e3018b5bf4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
3.They said that they liked how the fast shots were edited but they think
that we should use more of a variation between slow and fast. Perhaps a slow cut of the hands round the door in slow
motion and then a quick shot of the clowns head close up, this would
create building tension then shock.

4.They liked the titles that had been used but they thought we
should explain more of the story with them, maybe use
reviews as titles or a newspaper cutting with
something like “mysterious deaths at local circus”
