How did you attract/address your audience?

our audience came to the movies to see a thriller, so we gave them one, following the most integral conventions (dark,damp and scary) and changing the less important ones (male villian female hero) to make the production uneique.
Once the movie has started it is important to keep them entertained and transfixed by the contents. In the begining we achieved this by speeding up the movie as if we were running in pov shot, this, hightens the suspence and tension. Due to the audience knowing that somthing WILL happen at the end of the fast pace. also by taking ideas from other famous movies like the writing dissapearing into the distance in starwars


using a similar method we can get the audience to feel as if they have known this film for longer but they havent it was a diffrent movie. This helps to create a sence of familirisation, just like the shops use to get us to buy products that we dont want.

when the audience come to watch the production they expect to come away at least feeling jumpy so in a attempt to scare or at least make the audience jump we matched up the backing track which both me and james created from scratch, to the film so they were in sync. Once this was done the atmosphere was hightened along with the tension, because the music suddenly peakes in volume and pitch to aid any fast moving action in makeing the audience jump this matches the classic thriller convention and was just to integral to the thriller genre to be replaced

although in the questionaire 30%of the audience look for comedy in a thriller we were unable to incorporate it into the thriller in a way which would have kept the thriller a thriller. so we tryed to satisfiy the other 70%who wanted shock factor and to be made jump. Both of which i feal we have achieved with the shock factor beiing achieveed far better than “jumpiness”.

the audience was mixxed about the opening they felt the speeding up of the initiall title scene was good, along with the negative effect. however they though the script was poor and unrealistic. most of the audience reated the opening between 4 and 7 rating the movie out of 10, 5.6 as an average which theysaid could have been increased by less wooden acting and a better script. having said that tey all thought the plott was very good and cold, with a bit more work be very good.
