  MEDIA EVALUATION: QUESTION 5 BYCERYS GRATTON
• 2.
  • When creatingour media product there were many different elements that we included that would attract and address our targeted audience. Within the opening we included narrative hooks that would make the audience have constant doubts and questions throughout. Such as, who are they? Why are they there? What time is it, where is the location and many more that left our audience constantly asking questions that would hook them into watching more? It also keeps the audience entertained because they are constantly thinking and suspecting. This also ensures that they aren’t going to turn off and lose interest half way through. I think the main narrative hook comes right at the end of our film when we see a character confronting our main protagonist. This ends on a cliff hanger, because even though we can guess who it might be we still aren’t certain.

  • There arealso many editing techniques that have been included within the opening that people can relate to certain genres. Such as the black and white merging to show the movement from the present to the past. This also creates suspense for our audience because it shows that this flashback is contributing and potentially shows us that this will link into the rest of the film. Thus causing the audience to maintain a good level of interest. Another strong point we feel attracts our audience is the titles. By using specific titles that relate to our chosen genre it also gives the audience a small idea on what genre the movie might be. It also adds to the overall tone and feel to the opening. Its also a memorable font, there is also a small selection of the audience that will find the rolling credits of the actors names and producers, interesting so my putting these in a memorable font it makes the stick in the mind.

  • There area few different aspects to our film that think would appeal to our audience. For instance, when the little girl is hiding under the bed. And we see the main antagonist entering the room with our main protagonist. This sends alarm bells ringing, and questions flying in he heads of our audience, on who, what, why, when? This appeals to our audience because it leaves questioned unopened that will be answered later on. • Finally, I feel that our music contributed, since it created tension and suspense which added to the already tense situation of not knowing who is attacking our older teenage character Paignton. The music also makes the whole situation feel more dramatic and heightens the audience’s senses.

  • I alsofeel that we can address the audience better, because of the age range of the characters. i believe because they are in a much younger age. For example, child to teen, this also means that teens can connect with our some of the characters and maybe relate with some of their emotions or actions. It also appeals to more a teenage age range because younger actors tend to appeal more to their coherent age groups. I also feel overall that our film appeals to a teenage age range 15 +, because even though there are more adult themes it still has a thrill and mystery that will catch their attention.
