Evaluation Task 5: How did you attract/address your audience?

How did you attract/address your audience?

Straight away it is clear that our film is not a fast pace action movie as it starts with a slow pan across the wall which doesn't provide instant gratification and requires patience which usually connects with an older audience.

 

 

Our film also has a lot of professional technology and although children know a lot about technology, the equipment used is above their knowledge therefore the older audience can relate more to what he is doing.

 

 

 

We have established a primary audience as 15-30, when the images of the children come up on his laptop screen it may make the younger of our audience feel uncomfortable as the children on the screen are not much younger than them therefore feel uncomfortable.

 

 

We wanted to create mystery and suspense to capture the audience into the film as they will not know what is going on. This is the only point you see his face but it is not clear; most of the time it is just his hands or feet. An older audience would link these pictures to the idea that there will be children or a child in the film whereas a younger viewer may be confused as to why he is looking at children.
 

 
 

The sound used is suspenseful and tense. This adds tension to the slow pace of the opening sequence. A younger audience may not understand this build up as to what is going on whereas an older audience would.
