EVALUATION ACTIVITY 5How did you attract/address

your audience?

Genre

We researched into the conventions of the thriller genre. Such as theorists like; Todorov, Strauss

and Propp. This helped us gain the same theme and structure of common thrillers.

Our thriller follows conventions and can be compared to thrillers such as: Orphan, The

Exorcist and Let the Right One In. Both these thrillers have a female protagonist with a sinister

side.

Identification

Our first intention was to allow the audience to identify with one of the

characters.For example, with our main character,

she’s a vulnerable female who then becomes feared and strong.

SoundSound was very important to our production as it

has many conventions of the thriller genre.We researched into soundtracks of thrillers, for example the ‘Psycho’ sound effect has been used

and edited into many different films and has connotations of fear and danger.

Also, the ‘Jaws’ sound effect is a world renowned sound that gives the audience the impression of

danger is about to occur.We used Audacity, to clip our sounds and

Pinnacle to make our sound production more effective and increase its continuity.

FontFor our font, we took a long time on dafont.com, looking through different fonts which were suited to the thriller genre. There is a section on horror,

but they all seemed very amateur.We chose our font, (picture in planning) because

we felt the stars added the mysterious and supernatural aspect of our film. We asked people

what they first noticed about our font, and the vast majority noticed the stars. Which is what we

intended.

Characters

We wanted our characters to attract our audience, through identification. We did research into the

‘typical’ teenager, and we followed conventions to get a character our audiences could remote to.
