Evaluation 5) - How did we attract/address our audience?

There are a number of ways in which we held the attention of our audience, primarily by constantly building tension throughout, which kept them watching to see what exactly the climax was. 

As previously mentioned, by using surveys and interviews we were able to discover our target audience and make our characters similar to them, in order to engage them and enable them to identify with the character. We used both genders and actors aged similarly to those who we expect to watch our film, who made up the majority of our survey results.

We were really pleased with the location of our thriller opening. We used my dad's carpet warehouse to shoot the film. The setting created the desired atmostphere, being deserted and isolated, creating tension, and the realisation from the audience that if something was to happen, there would be no one around. The setting would attract the audience as it is a setting often used by the genre; the abandoned warehouse, where there's no one around to help a victim. An audience can familiarize with the setting and scenario. 

Not much is revealed from our thriller opening in the hope that the audience will continue to watch, with the desire to find out what happens next.
