EVALUATION: How did you attract/address your audience?

We tried to use typical conventions for our crime genre whilst trying to use these conventions to involve the audience in our film. One of the ways we did this was simply by using suitable but suspensful soundtrack on specific scenes. In the very beginning of the opening sequence, there is a point of view shot where chris is sprinting down the road. Not only does this shot involve the audience; making them feel they could be in the scene themselves, but when watching the film you are able to hear quick paced urban styled music. This fits well with the scene and adds extra impact for the audience. I thought it would be a good idea to use this scene at the beginning of the sequence because it is quite an intense scene for the audience to watch and grabs attention quickly and effectively.

Our media product uses conventions typical of the crime genre which will attract audiences that are already interested in watching these types of films. It is easy to establish the genre and style of our film from use of mise-en-scene (e.g. setting, costume, narrative).

Various other shots also make it clear to the audience that they are criminals such as the loading of tools into a bag and the final shot of Chris raising a gun up to a mirror. These shots among others add suspense and impact to our film, attracting our audience further.
