How did you attract/address your audience?

We attracted our audience by using some the conventions of a thriller opening such as; sombre music, blood and tension. I feel we created the mystery successfully when Duncan’s character is walking along the bridge and you can see Joe’s character in the bushes, then when Duncan’s character passes the camera Joe’s is gone. We used the conventions to illustrate to the viewer that our opening was for a thriller. We also used some wide angle and panning shots which are less conventional for a thriller but help to set the scene. We also tried to create a multi-layered storyline in a non-linear fashion in order to attract the view to guess and formulate an opinion on how they felt the story would progress if it went on for longer than the opening that we created. As we used violence that also included a weapon in our opening we decided to put our film at the BBFC classification of 15 because of the BBFC’s standards stating, “Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised” (our antagonist uses a crowbar which is very easy to get) and that Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable”.
