Evaluation Question 5. How did you attract/adress your audience?

Editing

- Towards the end becomes very jumpy/sketchy/trippy like in the start of American Horror Story, linking to the thriller and horror atmosphere - Editing it often like dead mans shoes, very independent to create the feel the audience could be there, in the underground  - The sketchiness of the editing in the ending links to se7en’s opener with the suspense of flicking to black screens, being quick and fast paced changing to different shots, creates suspense - The still camera shots showing characters and creating confusion but wondering in the audience like in the opener of fight club -- Our opener staring with someone waking up after a coma and torture scene relates to fight cub and shutter island with the flashback being used to fill in the gaps and want people to watch on

The USP of your film (unique selling point)

- The editing towards the end becomes very triply and is something we thought our target audience would find really cool and interesting - Urban locations make the audience connect with the film more as they may know the places and have been, such as Dead mans shoes - The mix of  genre’s having a psychological thriller, with hints of horror throughout with the age of the actors  - Being all young actors in the opener and not asking anyone older to star in it may appeal to others to see the talent we have  - It leaves the audience to think for themselves what could come next in the opener or what could happen in the end of the film - The flashback create the feel of wanting to watch on in the opener

Genre Conventions

- The character knows more than the audience does, the voice over, like in Fight Club -The heart beating sound effect gives the thrilling illusion something is going to happen next  - Close up's to show emotion and facial expression was used at the start of our opener - The locations, were gritty and urban creating the feel of it being a horror/thriller genre - There were dark silhouettes and dark colouring in certain scenes to make of a more thriller atmosphere -The lighting was all natural and changed in certain scenes to seem more of our genre - The editing was quick towards the end and triply with lots of jump cuts, creating the atmosphere of the thriller genre - Our main character was a strong female role but also showed the weakness of running away when they were scared  -The music throughout created suspense like in a thriller - Music in the ending was very fast and repetitive, giving the quickening feel of the scene  - Flashback were used in the psychological thriller aspect of slowly giving the audience information so they'd want to watch on

main character

Use of Music / Sound

- Dramatic and suspenseful music like from Shutter Island creates a suspense to something coming - The quick suspenseful sound effects acting as almost a clock at the start and the end, like in American Horror Story give the mood of the thriller/Horror  - There was a voiceover at the start linking to fight club where the voice over was at the beginning, although ours stopped after a few seconds - We used a heartbeat sound at the start to create suspense this is like the ticking of clocks and repetitive  suspense sounds in se7en and AHS -

Use of Mise-en-scene

- We used urban locations such as  the underground scenes feel like Fight club  and dead mans shoes to make the audience feel like they were more present in the opener - causal clothing with the big fur coats to create a sense of wealth, possibly because of the drug aspect - Low lighting and dark colour were used to create a thriller atmosphere with the music as well like in Shutter Island - The settings were used in a variety to show  the use of Bristol and the aspects of middle class - Low key lighting was taken from fight club and high key lighting was from dead mans shoes when Amy's character was walking to the underground

Cinematography

-  Certain scenes were dark and gritty with dull colours and lighting like Shutter Island when they're going through the hospital - Close up shots were used like in dead mans shoes to show emotions and facial expressions - Colours in the underground were vibrant and showed the urban side of our film - When Amy walks in the darkness it represent her walking into danger
