Evaluation Question 5

Question 5.


How did you attract/address your audience? 


To attract my target audience, I have incorporated multiple different factors into mu media product.

One of the main things i did was to use typical conventions usually included in thriller films which attract a similar target audience to my specific target audience. Typical conventions of a thriller films characters being something along the lines of a murderer and a victim in other words a villian-driven plot, therefore I chose to include characters such as a kidnapper, a victim and a witness which suited the criteria and conventions thoroughly.

Music wise, I edited together and created a piece of intense music in order to bring suspense at particular moments and also tension and excitement as main elements. As found out from research on the thriller genre, the audience and fans of thriller films expect to be kept alert and on the edge of there seats hence the reason for my soundtrack.

Another technique I acknowledged was the narrative plot of my film. From past experience of thriller films I had a basic idea of what was required to enable a thriller piece, that being including as many of the primary elements of thriller films into my opening sequence. 

▪ The central protagonist(s) faces death, either their own or somebody else's.

• The force(s) of antagonism must initially be clever and/or stronger than the protagonist's.
• The main storyline for the protagonist is either a quest or a character who cannot be put down.
• The main plotline focuses on a mystery that must be solved.
• The film's narrative construction is dominated by the protagonist's point of view.
• All action and characters must be credibly realistic/natural in their representation on screen.
• The two major themes that underpin the thriller genre are the desire for justice and the morality of individuals.
• One small, but significant, aspect of a thriller is the presence of innocence in what is seen as an essentially corrupt world.
• The protagonist/s and antagonist/s may battle not just on a physical level, but on a mental one as well.
• Either by accident or their own curiousness, characters are dragged into a dangerous conflict or situation that they are not prepared to resolve.
