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

• Having created a questionnaire in the early stages of my project about our chosen genre helped us to create an opening our target audience would enjoy. As our questionnaire was taken by a male and female audience aged between 16-18 and our teacher 25+ it was exactly the target audience we were looking for and therefore took their ideas on board. 

Questionnaire 
Research into our chosen genre from fellow pupils in our class, the questionnaire was as followed - 

1. What would you expect to see in an action thriller movie? (Tick more than one if you need too)

Our film opening includes a murder, physical stunts, and a race/chase. All of which our target audience voted the highest too. This was a way we addressed the audiences needs. 

- The murder - Amittai falling dead (with a 0 on his hand)

- The physical stunt - Amittai (running and drastically falling)

- The race/chase scene - Amittai dropping the book and having to run after it. 

 

 

2. What builds suspense in an opening scene?

Most answers we recieved have been included into our opening sequence. The ones that were not included would not have fit into our storyline so early on for example ''knives'. 

'Quick action music'

'A tense opening - usually if someone dies or its full of action' 

'fast cuts and music'

'Always leave the audience wanting to know what is happening' 

By including all these elements in our opening sequence addresses how we have taken on board our audiences preferences. 

3. What characters would you expect to see in an opening scene?

'Main characters'

'Main character/villain - someone who dies'

'Protagonist'

- Everyone in answered question 3 in our questionnaire said that the main character should be included. Hence why ours is. This again addresses the audience.
