Evaluation Question 5

 Question 5. How did you attract/address your audience?

We addressed the target audience by making one of the characters (the main protagonist) relate to the audience. Are target audience is people with either children or siblings. We attracted the target audience by creating a certain atmosphere in which some of the audience might have been in before. We also attracted the audience by making the opening as realistic as possible. We done this by making the opening that the older brother has to look after his younger brother. This opening would relate to the audience because most of the audience would have been put in this position before. We did this by making him a stereotypical teenager. This would link to some of the audience because some of the audience would be around that age and understand the character because it relates to them. The younger brother would also relate to the audience. The character would relate to the parents of the audience because the character is played as a stereotypical 6-8 years old. We did this by making him look innocent and venerable.  The parents of the audience would relate to this because they would understand what it would be like to have a child at that age and because of that, they could relate to the whole opening.


The types of camera angles we used to make the audience relate in different ways. One camera angle we used was a POV shot of Jack (Harry) running around looking for his brother. This shot was used to make it look like he was panicking. This might address some of the audience because they could have been in a similar situation and could relate to the panicking.

 Another way we have addressed our audience is from the reaction shot of the younger brother in the flat when the older brother tells them they are going to the park. The reaction shot of the brother was an important shot because it showed the characters attitude. The characters attitude would be similar to other kids around his age (6-8). That would mean that some of the parents of the audience will understand this shot and reaction.


The music we used in the opening would attract most of our audience. It would attract most of the audience because the music we chose had a every creep theme. We chose a piece of music which sounded similar to a nursery rhyme and that would symbolise a child. The overall creep theme of the song is there to build tension in the scene. This would attract the audience by the use of enigma codes that work with the song.

The editing we did for the opening would attract our audience. We used different types of editing techniques to attract our audience. One of which was quick cuts. We used this near the end of the film quick cuts to show the build of tensen. The build of tensen will attract audience by creating the enigma code of 'What will happen next?'.
