Evaluation; Question 2

2. How did you attract/address your audience?

Thrillers are a genre are as popular as they are excite people, keep them on edge, raise their heart rate and make them feel as though they are in the film, however they feel this rush of adrenaline and this mystery in the safety of their own home.

               My media film presents to a variety of teenagers of both gender, it appeals directly to them, (the thriller genre is popular amongst them). However it depends on their personality, the personality of a person determines how your media product represents to them. A person who is adventurous and loves excitement will be eager to watch a thriller, a person who is reserved and quiet would not like a thriller as it may not meet their specification of a good movie.My media film is particularly representing a teenage social group who are outgoing and like a mystery packed with violence. It raises awareness of the problematic adolescence. This representation tries to show the reality of these situations, it is realistic as the main character is a teenager. Young people are shown in a negative way, it shows the stereotype of teenagers is true. Most teenagers are involved in violence or criminal activity, this is the reason why society labels them as criminals. Middle aged people are shown to be problematic as well, (his parents). It shows most age groups are corrupt. I represented working class people because it has been proven in Sociology that they commit the most crime. Middle class and High class people have everything they want/need so they do not need to commit crime. From the location and costume (house, garden and condition) you can obviously see the main character is not wealthy. Make up is where most of the characters appearance comes from, from head to toe almost covered in mud, with tomato sauce used to look like blood, which is then made to look like handprints, almost as if someone tries strangling him, pepper was also used, to add a lighter texture to the face and secondly make the eyes very red, as if he hasn't slept, or crying. However there is no props, with only one character I felt no need for props, or any more characters, especially for the title sequence, making people familiar with only one face, focusing all their attention on this character and how he looks, especially with the amount of extreme close ups.
