Evaluation Question 5

How did you attract and address your audience?


We have attracted several audiences by following common conventions of thriller films and also dramas in our piece. We tried to create enigma for audiences of thriller films in our opening through the last clip of our film introduction, featuring the female character who is believed to be gone - confirming to the audience that she is infact still alive, however she is in serious danger. Our film also appeals to fans of dramas, as there is a strong focus in our film of the emotional distress that the main character is going through, we have tried our best to induce sympathy so that the audience can relate to the character as much as possible. The plot of the film does not progress very quickly and most screen time is spent developing the personality and emotions of the main character, we feel we can do this as the audience we intend the film to be watched by are patient and take interest in the emotional side of the story - not just the action.

We tried to keep both audiences interested through a cliff hanger - intended to create enigma keeping the thriller audience hooked, and we tried to keep the drama fans interested through encouraging an attachment to the character.
