QUESTION 5

                      
How did you attract/address you audience

When creating our questionnaire, we focused our questions on the technical codes, miss en scene and the narrative. We asked what kind of music would you expect to here and 86% of the verdict was ‘Tense and fast pace’. We have succeeded in doing this by adding tense music at key scenes to raise tension. We also asked general questions about conventions of a crime film and what would be expected to see. Popular answers included props such as computers and guns which is key in our narrative for later on in the film so by doing this, we can appeal to our audience and represent a crime genre. They also said they would want toes a lot of violence which is featured in our film in moderation however; this is due to the 15 rating. Here we can apply the uses and gratification theory as if the audience is active, they will take in the violent content and decide themselves how to react because everyone may be watching our production for several reasons. 


Many of our questions was based on the mise-en-scene such as lighting, costume, technical codes and location. Our audience said that they would prefer our main protagonists to be dressed in casual clothing, This is so it makes it easier for the target audience to relate to the characters which then allows us to appeal to our target audience. It was also fedback to us that our target audience would like tracking and POV shots to create mystery and an enigma within our production. We include this in our violent, kidnapping scene in our opening sequence to keep the audience gripped and asking who the POV is from. We made sure we were asking questions to our target audience as it was clear most were teen, age range we were looking for and none were under the age of 15.
