Audience AttractionRyan. A. Henson

Film OpeningWith in our film opening we have we have placed elements to attract the audience's attention in certain scenes. The main method we used to do this was by creating a character that was relatable to the target audience, reminiscent of the audience described in question 4. The film will be much more effective in provoking emotions from the targeted audience as they are the audience we kept in mind when creating this product.

Audience Attraction Through Company Image

This is the first image the audience will see is very striking, our production company logo. It will draw in the attention of the targeted audience, however it may cause some of the audience to cringe at it’s gruesomeness especially in the detailing of the sclera of the eye.

Audience Attraction Through Characters

The character in this scene is the victim, he has been used to attract the audience by being relatable to them. He doesn’t only just look like the targeted audience, he is also relatable in regard to how he is shown here in this scene. He stands out like he doesn’t belong, the feeling most of the target audience would feel too. He is also shown to be smaller the deeper he walks into the woods, the trees tower over him. Thus giving him and the audience the feeling of being vulnerable. The main reason the audience can relate to the victim is that he behaves very much how most if us would, he fears, he runs and he doesn't stop to look back

Audience Attraction Through Camerawork

In these two scenes we attracted our audience with the use of some clever camerawork. Aligning the camera and the two characters up so that they smoothly become one. In the other scene the camera is placed in a tree with part od the branch visible on screen, giving an effect as if the camera is hiding. The camera pans from right to left, following the victim’s path . These create a sense of mystery that will draw in the attention of the audience we have targeted.
