How did you attract/addresse your audience?

What pleasures can your audience take from opening sequence? 

I believe that the audience would enjoy the violence in our opening sequence and the twist at the end which reveals that the character is in fact harming himself. The AMBIGUITY of our opening sequence means that the audience is left to try and understand what is happening and why.


What genre and subgenre is your film under? 

Our film falls under the category THRILLERS, specifically PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS.

How have you attracted audiences through the use of: 

Editing- Our editing is what leaves the audience with a sense of mystery. The jump cuts and pace of our opening sequence means that the audience aren't given time to figure out what's going on. This makes the audience want to keep watching as they want answers.

Music/Sound- The use of the interview on Carl Jung gives the film a fourth dimension which gives the audience more to think about. By going into the shadow perspective and the dark side of human nature the audience start considering the psychological issues which are being represented in this film and whether it applies to all human beings.

What were the key conventions that you used or challenged which appeal to the target audience?

By using a male protagonist and combing him with pure violence would appeal to a male orientated audience. Mix in psychological issues and you have a character which appeals to a wider audience of both genders, as it has been shown that females prefer watching films which have a more intellectual side and make them think. I have talked more about conventions of thrillers in the next blog post, where I discuss the conventions that we conformed to and those that we challenged in our media product.
