AS Thriller Evaluation - Question 4

Camera Interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKS94mt_kS0

Target audience is important because I need to consider the types of people who would be watching my film and know how to make it appeal to that specific target audience.  Recognising or knowing what you would like the audience to be, before the production point is vital as they will determine the content included.  E.g. a company which would want the film to appeal to 15’s and over, would want to the content to appeal to young adults and older people.  They would have to be able to engage and relate to the film opening to that specific age group.

My target audience is for fifteens and over because we decided this, through our primary research and results showed that the age who liked watching thrillers, were in the age of fifteen and over.  The fact that we also wanted to film this for an older audience was because we wouldn't be limited in what we could include in the thriller film.

My narrative appeals to our audience because it is able to create mystery and suspense, as they don’t really know what is going to happen or who this villain is. 
   Characters appeal to our audience because people will be able to relate to the victim who goes to work and is wearing business like clothes.  The audience will be able to build a sense of suspense and fear with the villain because they know what his intention is and then want the victim to get away.  
My mise-en-scene appeals to the audience because the audience would be able to relate to the setting and the second location, would appeal to the audience because it’s dark and they don’t necessarily know where it is therefore creating mystery making them want to know where it is and what is going to happen. 
   The costume would appeal to the audience because they will be able to relate to what the victim is wearing, if they go to work.  They will appeal to the costume of the villain because of the dark colours, which he is wearing so he won’t get caught easily.

The editing would appeal to the audience because it is able to flow easily and the straight cuts are able to show a change in location.

  1. Your analysis of question 4, demonstrates a basic understanding of how your thriller appeals to your target audience. You have made a start in considering your micro elements and narrative, but these points need to be explored in more detail, to demonstrate further understanding.
