Me: My group and myself have attracted the audience by the use of genre by using a very popular genre, crime/thriller, we have used conventions of this thriller so the audience knows exactly what it is they are watching. Our opening sequence is a mystery that creates suspense; it attracts males and females as females can relate to other females and men particularly enjoy watching good looking women. Throughout the sequence tension is created, for example quick fast pace shots, non-diegtic sounds and diegetic sounds; which makes you want to carry on watching the film. Our thriller is also very similar to films such as Colombiana and Rear Window, so for people that enjoy watching these types of films I believe would enjoy watching ours.Interviewer: How does the setting of your film attract/address your audience?
Me: From our opening sequence you can tell straight away that our film is set in England; this is because of the location and the weather. Our opening sequence is set in a secluded car park in the surrey hills, However the audience will not know this they will just see the car park and setting around it. The audience will know that you do not see this type of location in hot countries and you would definitely not see this type of weather in hot countries. Once the opening sequence starts we begin to see two cars parked up, from this we are then able to see there number plates which tells the audience again that the film is set in England. After this we then hear the two female characters have a conversation and from this we can hear there english accents. As our film is a crime thriller I believe it will attract an audience who live in England and an audience from different countries. People who live in England will want to see what image of criminal life is being portrayed in Britain and people in other countries will be interested as they will want to see what culture is like in Britain when it comes to
criminal activity.
Interviewer: How does the narrative attract/address your audience?
Me: The opening sequence to our thriller has very clear linear narrative which enables the audience to follow step by step what happens; as if they are investigators themselves. In opening sequence the audience see a photographer hid behind trees taking pictures of the action that is happening between the two female characters; this gives the audience a clue as to what the women are doing is suspicious as they are not only in a secluded car park but you can tell from there character positioning that they are very nervous. In the opening sequence we see one of the women give the other women an envelope, however we do not know whats inside. This intrigues the audience as they do not know but what to find out. Another key moment that intrigues the audience is when the photographer hold his walkie talkie to his ear and you can hear the conversation the two women are having, however the walkie talkie is broken so we are unable to hear properly what they are saying... making the audience what to watch the full film to find out.
Interviewer: How does the music and editing attract/address your audience?
Me: To create as much tension as we could to convey our thriller genre we used a a parallel soundtrack to match the action; by having this soundtrack it highlighted key moments and made the sequence more intriguing. We also used the diegetic sound of the radio and used an effect to make it sound unclear so the audience will not be able to hear what they are exactly saying. When it came to editing we used fast pace shots for when the action gets more interesting and long pace shots of vital moments, when we paused to use a template of a camera as if the photographer was taking a picture. By using this template of a camera it makes the sequence seem very POV making you feel like you are really there.
This all attracts the audience by using conventions of a thriller and is what people are wanting to see if they see this type of film.
Above are the notes I used to help me write my interview.
