EVALUATION - Question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?

I have used many features that you would often find in a real film to try and attract/address my target audience such as...

~I used an actress of the same age as the target audience for the opening sequence so as they can relate to it, making them feel as if if they were in her position what would they do?

This is a good way to attract your target audience because if they see something or someone that they could imagine themselves doing or being then they will feel a connection with it, making them feel involved.

~The location of where it is set is very homey, making the target audience feel comfortable within it.A place which may look a lot like their own homes.

This is another good way to attract the target audience as they will firstly feel all warm to the idea that it is happening in a place just like their own but then this target age has a need to be scared and so knowing that something bad is going to happen in a place just like their own will be a thrill for them as they may feel that it could also happen to them.

~The sounds and music are very jumpy, adding to tension being built throughout the scenes.

This is also good because, as I have already said, the audience that has been targeted love being scared so if they hear jumpy music and can feel tension being created they will be sucked in as these are all things they've seen in other horror films so they know what to expect.
