5) How did you attract/address your audience?

The theme of our film is stalking. It appealed to our audience during a feedback session because most of them stated that it was a good piece of work but they also said that it was relevant to the thriller genre. The audience also liked our style however they did say that certain things needed improving especially sound because we hear to much wind which was affecting the microphone. They also wanted us to add a score at the beginning to carry the beginning of the sequence towards the end of the opening sequence. The audience were pleased with our editing but added that clip size needed to be shorter so our style of long timed shots is not an audience pleaser. They also stated that the editing needed finishing which is true because our film had to many cuts and glitches in it that needed to be improved. They also wanted us to add more titles at the beginning of our film but we already agreed on that before hand. Overall our audience was pleased and said that our film was relevant to the thriller genre with a lot of conventional pieces that they recognised as conventional to the thriller genre.

These included our cliff hanger at the end which proved to be quite popular because it was cut by a title and thus we did not know what happened to the girl. They also enjoyed our score towards the end of the sequence because it is a traditional suspense filled thriller score that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. We tried to attract our target audience by setting the theme about abduction. This is a topic that regularly intrigues younger audiences and now they can relate to it through our film. The casting of a young female as the victim also helps them to relate to the film and feel included in a way because they know that this could be them in the same situation one day. The choice of location will also attract students because this is happening around school just after school finishes so for students it is interesting to know when you’re most likely to get hit.
