Evaluation: Question Five Script

5) How did you attract/address your audience? 

"As a teen drama/thriller, we had to appeal to two differing areas of interest for the audience and address them appropriately. Our consistent use of POV shots and close ups position our target audience within the drama. The ambiguity of our opening due to the fast paced straight cuts and inconsistent sound fully immerse the audience in the film opening. Our main aim for the film opening was to make the audience feel uncomfortable and on edge.In doing so they are immediately invested in the protagonist and empathise with a teenage character struggling to cope with the expectations of what seems like social life but actually a much more serious event.

Although in some aspects we wanted to address the audience as a friend or acquaintance of the protagonist, our choices regarding titles partially distance the audience to further the more uncomfortable, surprising side we had hoped for. Pink, almost girly titles, accompanied by contrapuntal ringing sounds ,contrast to the initial use of party music to attract a teenage audience."
