How did you attract/address the audience?

To attract the audience I tried to give my product a real sense of realism, so that the audience can then start to imagine what it would be like in the character's position. I did this by using a realistic character to be the potential killer and giving a reason for the couple to be followed around, that there was a woman obsessed with the husband. I also think the narrative is also easy to believe firstly because I’ve tried to use to use the narrative to explain as much as what’s happening without losing suspense and also because my target audience and the character's are of a similar age, so the audience can relate to what’s happening. I have secondly attracted the audience by making the audience establish the main characters and take the apposed reading, of the couple, that are a typical family being victimised. Other than the oppositional view of the killer, that they are an evil couple, Henry broke her heart and deserves to pay. I used the oppositional view as the couple, as I thought this creates more of suspense as the audience don’t have as much information about why there is a person after the couple. Also so that when something happens to the couple it affects the audience more as they have established a relationship with the couple. I have attracted the audience by ending it on a cliff hanger, this is so the suspense builds up and the anxiety to know what’s happened, but just before too much information is given it leaves the audience with a cliff hanger, which would make the audience want to see it again to have again that unsolved building emotion. Finally my film applies to the uses and gratifications theory, firstly by entertaining. My film is entertaining because of its genre being a thriller; it is designed to entertain by thrill. Secondly it applies to the theory by social identity; my film has very realistic characters that audience could relate to.
