Question5
- 1. How did you attract/address your audience? Credits Misé-en-scene The misé-en-scene within the film addresses the audience in many different ways. One way is that we chose to locate the scene in a park, we chose this because it relates to the target audience we wanted to reach which is 15+ teenagers. The park is stereotypically the location in which teenagers tend to meet at, that’s why Ava and Noah meet here. Ava was wearing feminine skinny jeans with a hand bag, whilst Noah wore a masculine leather jacket and jeans with trainers. This attracts the audience because these are typical teenagers clothes that you would find We incorporated the romance element to the film opening teenagers wearing, this addresses the audience because we feel that in a lot of horror movies they include because they might be able to relate to Noah and Ava. this. I think this will attract the female audience because they stereotypically and statistically watch films with a romantic element to the story. The credits within our film opening are a big part of what attracts our audience. The font style is sharp and the names are in capitals. We used the right amount of time for each title so the audience can read it in time, but not be sitting around waiting for the credits to finish. I also liked that we used Live Type for the final credit of ‘CLOWN’ This is because it is a good horror style and we also used a clown nose for the ‘O’ to represent the clowns stereotypical nose. Romance Sound Effects The sound effects throughout our film opening created an extremely fearful impact on the target audience. In sync with the film company logo is a very fierce and spooky sound which represents our film company, right at the start this grabs the audiences attention. Straight from this the sharp and eerie music. At the end of the film opening you hear Ava screaming of fear, the scream carries on during the title of the film, this influences the audience to carry on watching the film this is for two reasons. One being that it will allow them to question what's going on whilst you can just hear her screaming but not the action. Secondly, it will make them want to see what is going to happen afterwards and leaves the ending on a cliff hanger and this is the effect we wanted to have. Demi Wrenn & Shannon Webb E N I G M A C O D E The enigma code within the film opening is the fact that the audience do not have any knowledge about this Clown. Where it comes from, whether or not its form England, what happens after he attacks Ava, but one thing they do know is that he has been seen before. We know this because at the beginning of the opening we decided to record newspaper articles and pictures of the Clown so that the audience know that he has got a pass in doing what he does. We class the Clown as a he, but the audience just assume this by his stereotypical male suit.
