Heeral Patel – Evaluation: Question5: how did you attract/ address your audience?

By using suitable props and shots we were able to make communication with the audience and get them to engage with our theme. As the 15+ is a for young adult who may not be familiar with the concepts of a thriller therefore we used less complicated visions such as the language itself or some disturbing scene. 

15+classification 

As we were making a film of 15+ we had to check the classification for this we used the website: http://www.bbfc.co.uk/what-classification/15 where we got the information on what and how much to include in our opening which is appropriate for that age group , therefore there was no use of sex scene, swearing or discriminatory language .

The use of sound which was made on imac, it was done using piano and had drums and guitar playing within it, this created a mysterious environment. This soundtrack was played toward the opening s we had no dialogues this make the atmosphere creepy and built up tension of what will come next.

We didn’t challenge the camera shots or editing as we didn’t want to make any scenes of ours complicated, our setting that we have used for AS media is a house which makes it all realistic, the use of dark scenes such as the bed scene, this shot to be done in school would be very difficult as we have to be careful managing the lighting. To represent our theme we had good use of mice en scene such as pill box, white colour, doctor’s note , these things would appeal to the audience .

The white paper

Due to the questionnaire that we had done for our audience research gave us imminent into the popular thriller themes which are used within the thrillers that are preferred.  By using an white British blonde girl in our product which the audience could easily identify as being the main character but yet feel sympathy towards her due to her abnormal disorder. By having no such script in our opening made our character seem helpless and this is how we were able to address the audience and grab their attention by making them feel a part of it. The piano in the soundtrack had a echoing effect which created an peculiar atmosphere, this made it recognizable by the audience as they would know the approaching threat in the film.
