How Did You Attract / Address The Audience?
Our opening title sequence attracted our audience due to the similarities it shares with our inspiration from other opening title sequences that did well within the film industry. We also did quite a bit of research to see what people like to watch in a horror movie, including a questionnaire which we conducted to gather more information on what our target audience would want to see on screen. From this questionnaire we found out that the sub-genres, Paranormal and Slasher, were the most popular choices. We also looked at websites like Amazon and Metacritic to see what the ratings from a broader audience was like; from there we decided that we would use paranormal as our sub-genre. We also used some influence of Thriller along side our sub-genre to make it different from the rest of the films out on the market. we thought the combination of these two would appeal to our target audience.
We included some objects and scenes that our audience could relate to, including the use of the laptop and the childhood scenes where she is playing and just being an ordinary kid. We set it in a house which would be a familiar setting for all of our viewers and we based the film in our target audiences age range so they can understand her in some ways.

We used a middle class household to appeal to our target audience as they would either relate to living in this kind of household or would want to. This will also create a sense of homeliness within the video and people will relate to that homely feeling. This will also make the characters within the scenes seem like ordinary people as they are in an ordinary setting, which will attract the audience because they will be able to relate to the characters in some ways.

We used these actors and their specific accents and voices because we thought it would appeal to the audience as they are relatively normal accents and people can relate to them.
In our OTS we dressed our characters in ordinary clothing to match with their ages. We dressed our main character in jeans and a variety of shirts to show different times that the flashbacks take place in. This will attract our audience because she looks like an ordinary person. Along with that, the person we cast for this character is your typical horror movie victim as she is young and pretty, so this will attract the male (or female) audience.
Our therapist is wearing a, somewhat, smart jacket and this will make her seem relateable. This will attract our audience because they will feel as though they can trust her. |
