Evaluation Question 5- Voice Recording on 'How did I attract my target audience to my thriller?'

Here are the notes I used to produce the voice recording:

What will my target audience enjoy about my opening sequence

young adult male 18-25

action

tension- built through sound and filming

suspenseful

unanswered questions

the gore, blood and cuts and bruises

masculine

genre

crime thriller

films such as dear hunter, bronson, saw 1 (location), taken

small location, claustrophobia , we attracted our audience by the thriller, 

men attracted to dirt and grit 

so far from society, train sound makes it feel more claustrophobic and far from society. 

different men, athletic, committed, guys have been there a while, kidnapped, straight into scene. 

first scene is linear scene, non-linear narrative. start with a scene from the near end of the film. characters, engaging. attract audience as they want to know what happened before and why they are there. older audience want to try and work it out. 

media representation

we are appealing to the young adult males (social groups) 

middle class males

must be interested in non linear narratives 

with dirty sweat men wrestling to death

we haven't used music as we but used sound effects instead as this gives more hints about our narrative instead of creating the scene to create more tension. for example we start with sound of the train at first with the writing at first to create mood and atmosphere before introducing the chatactes. we believed that not using a soundtrack would be effective as it would take away from the atmosphere of the film which would not work especially as it is a scene which would be replayed during the rest of the film. 

we gave the name of clockwork productions and roulette films as they are the money funding the film. We then went on to name the director and finally the actors. As we just named the main actors at the begining, we believe that as 20th century would create the film, a list actors would be used such as dicaprio mconohay and tom hardy. big budget big scenes but still slick. jennifer lawrenece
