Monologue
The first video is a clip to show Aaron Masons monologue which is featured at the beginning of 30 DAYS EARLIER.I decided that this would be a productive idea as by doing this we would know how effective the monologue is. Also the audience feedback helps us edit the monologue so it suits the audiences expectations.The audience group age ranges from 16-17 years old.Some of the audience were previous media students , I chose this deliberatley as these students will recognise the representation of Aaron Mason.The other students have had no recollection with media other than the daily media, but they have never analysed the media.Once again I chose this audience deliberatley as they will be able to judge the monologue on how effective it is to them and if it creates the same effect as monologues they have heard on films that they watch.
I began by asking the audience whether the monologue sound realistic like one they would hear on thriller films which they have seen. And why the monologue is realistic? The audience answered by saying “ that the monologue sounded very natural.”I then went on to ask that if they heard the monologue in a film would it make the film more intense? One member of the audience said yes, because it makes the audience want to know what has happened to the character and they begin to identify with the character. I then asked if the tone of voice made the monologue more intense ? The audience went on to answer that “Aarons to of voice is very quiet and needs to be louder also more emotion needs to be added to Aarons voice”
All of these comments were took on board and we went to record the monologue again but with these alterations.

Good research Jade; I like that you are considering expectations and responses of your target audience. Target: perhaps add a transcript or bullet points of the responses; next time, use another camera to record sound nearer to your subject or use the mic'ed camera.
