How Did You Attract

Your Audience?

We knew when in the production of our thriller that the

audience would obviously want to experience a high

amount of suspense. In order to please to audience we

made a number of choices whilst filming and editing. A lot

of the mis-en-scene is darkly lit. This emphasizes the

thriller theme. Our choice of set location, for example the

basement corridor was used because it gives off the

impression of a secretive, hidden location especially in the

case of the President of The United States.

This is an example of a camera shot from our

thriller. If this was seen in the trailer or indeed in

the opening sequence it would attract our

potential target audience through the use of mis-

en-scene. You can see a voice chart in the

background with a blurred mysterious character

in the foreground (the hacker). One of the key

features of the film is sold here, which is the

technological aspect.

Another snapshot from our thriller can be seen

here. Played by Ted as the English Prime

Minister. Again the key theme of technology can

be seen again in the use of a MacBook Pro

Laptop.

The other more obvious theme is also present in

this screenshot too which, is the politically

orientated genre.We have attracted our audience

here through the use of these two key themes.

Once again here we are presented with the

technological attractive aspect of the film to the

audience, along with the political aspect. We have

used Adobe After Effects to create the green screen

effect in the background of the shot which may also

attract audiences because they like the use of

special effects.

We have decided to address the audience here

through the use of editing the titles. We had the

titles come up as though they were being typed. We

did this so that the audience gained a better

understanding of the genres present in the thriller.
