Attracting and Addressing the Audience

To attract the audience we have produced a Psychological Thriller and included many of the common storylines of which you would see in a film of that genre, however we have managed to put our own little twist on the film and through this we were able to address a certain audience which is of the age 15+, it is targeted at this audience because we felt that our film is able to relate to youths due to the fact that in the film the main protagonist (Kyle) is wearing the typical youths clothing and also being a stereotypical teenager by vandalizing property with graffiti.

We have produced some very well shot scenes and with a tripod we were capable of using imaginative shots such as establishing the location views of the warehouse. The film doesn’t have much sound in the shots because we felt that the soundtrack was what really gave off the Psychological Thriller feel to it so we focused on the soundtrack being the sound of the film, although at key shots of the film such as the can rolling and light bulb smashing, the sound and shots of these scenes should be able to attract and entice any viewer and leave them in complete awe. The soundtrack of the film is a slow sinister orchestral piece, it includes bass and violins, this gives off the feeling of under water seclusion.

For the editing of the film we de-saturated it into a black and white effect providing the film with a noir theme. We didn’t over edit the film too much because we didn’t want the film to be just all about the editing and draw away focus from the shots. With final cut pro we were able to include effects that were profitable to the scenes e.g. slow motion can roll.
