question 5 - attracting/addressing the audience
TRANSCRIPT
How did you attract/address?
Why would people watch
our film?People will watch our film because it is targeted
at the right audience and therefore they will have
interest in the film.
They will be interested in our film also because
we conducted a survey to find out what people
liked to see in thrillers and we based our piece
on this.
In addition, we used the effect of a cliff hanger to
attract our audience and gain their attention; in
order to ensure that our audience would remain
interested.
Why would they carry on watching
after your initial 2 minute opening?
People will carry on watching the film after the 2
minute opening because we leave a cliff at the
end of the film, keeping the audience interested
and eager to find out what is going to happen
next.
In addition, they will want to continue watching
the film because we made sure that our film has
a strong sense of enigma; meaning that it is full
of mystery and is a complex puzzle. This ensures
that the audience watch it to the end as they
want to finish the film and solve the puzzle.
Why would they carry on watching
after your initial 2 minute opening?
IIThey engage with the antagonist as he approaches the protagonist with every step.
The prolonged walking also increases the tension and keeps the audience watching. More over it begins to encourage the audience to start asking questions as their imagination takes over. I.e. why is the man following the girl and does she know him?
The fact that the antagonist is able to entre the girl’s house also keeps the audience glued to find out what he does.
