How did we attract/address our audience?

We made sure that we stuck to the conventions our audience would be expecting. We used common themes they would expect to see such as ‘death’ or iconography for example, an innocent girl dressed in white, a dirty garage and dark clothing for the hooded man. From our questionnaire feedback we know that people go to see a horror film because they expect/want to be scared, they expect to be confused and worried as to what will happen next. We also do no let on what the motives of the murderers are, which again keeps the audience guessing. The radio broadcast emphasized the poor mental state of this man, as this clearly was a chain of events but no clues as to why were given.

We also appealed to them through our production and post-production. This is because we used eye catching shots like the extreme close ups of the tyre scraping to an immediate halt. This shot not only looks effective but creates a sense of emergence and panic. Audiences of thrillers/horrors will have chosen this film because it is a thriller and doesn’t give everything away immediately, so by leaving things out and creating enigmas, we are actually appealing directly to our audiences tastes.
