Evaluation - Question Five

How did you attracted/address your audience?
In our thriller we had to attract and address our audience. We had to think of ways this was possible. We did this by using the typical conventions of a thriller movie. This is because the audience will have expectations and we had to stick to some of the conventions to then be able to call it a thriller. We used the camera wisely. We did this by hiding or discreetly putting things in the shots, to add the scenes of mystery and keep the audience engaged. For example, when ‘Harvey’ is walking along the corridor, a figure moves behind him, yet you can only infer it is a person as the way the lighting is positioned, you cannot know for sure. The music I think also helped attract the audience, as the music builds up to add tension and suspense to the scene.

We used 'Youths' to involve/attract the audience

We also used ‘youths’, this is so the audience, going by our results of our questionnaire, can relate to the characters. This will appeal to our audience, as we aimed for the ‘15’+ mark, being based on BBFC’s guidelines. This is so we did not add things in that were not allowed to be in a ‘15’ rated movie, e.g. strong language, strong violence ect. To see if we met our audiences expectations, we asked people for there feed back on what they thought of our project. When people gave us feedback, we got mixed reviews. Most were positive reviews, for example, they ‘felt the suspense and tension’, and wanted to know what happens after the scene we shot. There feedback told us that they enjoyed the film and that everything was in the right place to make you nervous when watching the scene. Yet some people suggested other wise. People told us about our biggest fault in the whole scene - which it was to dark in some places, as figures/objects were hard to see. This was our biggest floor as the lighting where we shot was not great, and we did not have good enough lights to light the set as we wished. If we were to shoot this again on the same budget, I would either chose a different location or bring lights with me to avoid this problem.
