Media evaluation question 5
- 1. How did you attract/address your audience?
- 2. Genre Conventions • Our whole production shows conventions of typical horror movies because this is what attracts a usual horror audience so it was key that we stuck to these. • Some examples of these conventions are: • The use of a dark eerie location • A character with an obvious scary appearance • Music that builds tension and suspence
- 3. Conventions continued… • We chose to stick to horror conventions such as those seen in other movies such as ‘The Grudge’. • This is because these types of movies attract mass audiences and often carry great success. This is die to the fact that they can attract a broad target audience which can vary immensely. • This contributes to the success of a movie because if it has a larger audience base, then they are a lot more likely to gain more sales.
- 4. Character • The use of a teenage character is often seen in movies that attract a teenage audience. • This is because the audience can feel more that they can relate to the character, although this is difficult to achieve with a horror character. • However, we chose to use a teenage character anyway as it still entices the audience more.
