Evaluation question 5

                                         

                                           How did you attract your audience?

In our two minute film scene, we tried to attract our audience with many different types of conventions and stereotypes, some of these are:

Gender

• Connection between the protagonist to the audience.
• Emphasis on stereotypes of males.
• Close ups of the antagonist.

We used these so that we could connect the audience to the film opening and it would create a stronger bond of appeal to the audience. We also felt that due to the stereotypes of girls being the victims, we would use males to change the typical convention.

Sound

We used a pitch change of our thriller scene to emphasise the 'horror' in conjunction to the 'normal' scenes to create more effect. This helped with the movement of our scene as it made it more linked to the audience so that it creates more of an effect and an attraction.

Our scene involves two boys who are friends walking in the woods and then another boy who is seen as the antagonist. The reason that they are two boys and not two girls as the victim is so that we change the gender stereotype and males feel more involved within the horror and want to watch it more.
