I attracted my audience with the conventions of a Thriller and by keeping it basic so that there is no confusion within the narrative, this attracts the audience as they are able to fully understand the narrative of the film. I also tried to incorporate factors of other Thriller and Zombie films so that it would be attractive to those who are a fan of the zombie/thriller genre, for example I gained some ideas for the mis-en-scene from various TV shows and Films, such as writing 'HELP' on the barn door, i gained this idea from both The Walking Dead and Dawn of The Dead.
How does your Thriller hold the audience's attention?
My Thriller holds the audience's attention by not revealing much of the story away and keeping them guessing and thinking about the danger and the mysterious being that only the audience knows is there, by doing this it causes the audience to know more than the character within the film does which makes them concerned for the character's safety. Also with the audience knowing more than the character it makes them want to see that the character gets along safely and does not get harmed.
Why would they want to carry on watching after your opening has ended?
The audience would want to carry on watching after my opening has ended because i purposefully ended it on a cliffhanger of the main character raising and firing the gun towards the camera, this leaves a lot of questions unanswered for the viewer, such as 'who was he shooting at?' and 'will he be safe?' so by leaving it on a cliffhanger it leaves the audience wanting more and to know more.
Audience feedback, what did they say they enjoyed?
I got a range of feedback and from different age ranges. My target audience (15-25) that i got feedback from was very positive and they thought that the narrative was good and the way that it was told was very good. The older generation (25-50) that viewed my product and gave feedback also gave positive feedback but it was not as strong as the younger generation, a majority of them said that it was very good and if it were a real film that they would go and watch the full product whereas the others said that it was good but it was not the sort of thing that they would go and watch.
