1. HOW DID YOU
ATTRACT/ADDRESS YOUR
AUDIENCE?
In God’s Name

2. • It is all well and good knowing who our target audiences is and actually projecting,
distributing and supplying our film out there for the world to see, but once that is down
we need those people to be intrigued by our film and overall, interested to watch it. Of
course we have only done the opening two minutes but our film needs to have the
cutting edge about it that stands out and would want people to carry on watching. What
it is about the narrative of our film that attracts the audience is how very simple it is, but
very enticing. All we have is a man walking up some stairs, through a corridor and a
couple of doorways. Now, this seems very boring but with the tense and ambient music,
it gives the film a new dimension as from this music the audience knows that something
is either happening, or going to happen very soon. Our audience fits with teenagers, so
we need it to be interesting from the word go. And we believe we have achieved this.
Lastly, the audience would be left asking the question of where he is going? Why is he
going where he is? These questions will be on the forefront of our audiences mind and
that is what will keep them watching.

3. • Adding more about the music used, we used it because this sound creates the enigma
we were after. This slow paced, tense music leaves the audience engrossed in our film
and at the ready to jump off their seat. Most thrillers use this type of non-diegetic music
for this effect. From this music, the audience will instantly know that the our main
antagonist is in fact the antagonist and is about to do something wrong. With the
audience knowing this in the back of their minds, they will want to know more about the
character and what he is actually doing. The music plays over him so he carries the
connotations of this music throughout the film.

4. • Carrying on with enigma, our whole film is based around the idea of enigma. Firstly, our
main antagonist ‘Mark’ is surrounded by enigma. In our opening two minutes nothing is
know or understood about him and this would leave the audience feeling possibly
uncomfortable and even threatened by him. The reason I say threatened is because
usually when in a situation where you are shutout and are restricted, you tend to be
extra careful and alert. So our character could cause a negative impact on our audience
which is exactly what we want as the makers of this production. When we first meet
‘Emily’, she is tied up in the corner. Instantly the audience would be shocked, but again,
the enigma of how did she get there? Was it Mark who tied her up there or did he have
people do it for him? There could be any explanation to why she is there and this type of
unknown keeps the audience watching and interested. Finally, at the end of our
production, Mark rips off tape from Emily’s mouth and she is about to scream before it
cuts to the title sequence. This is the best use of enigma in our film as the audience
would feel frustrated not knowing what happened at that point.
