2. How did the group attract our audience?
The group decided the best way to attract our audience
would be on social networking websites such as twitter and
instagram. The twitter was a good opportunity to attract our
audience and tell them all about what the thriller will be
about, when the thriller will be out, and how were
progressing with the filming
As you can see we have
got a lot of followers
on your twitter account
and had quite a few
people tweeting us
wanting to know more
about the thriller and
what it entails so this
has been a great way
to attract our audience.
We have tweeted
about of thrillers
instagram page and
have had people like
our posts. We have
mainly just put
pictures up of us
filming or working just
letting the audience
have a sneak preview
of what's been going
on.
3. Similar films
The Exorcist and The Last
Exorcism are similar to our
media film as they are all
about a young girl who has
been possessed and needs
an exorcism done on her.
They are both set in a
different time era, this is
because mental problems
and being possessed was not
understood in these times.
The film Orphan is also similar to our
media films it also about a young girl who
has mental problems. This film shows
the young girls story and why she is
mentally ill and her home life.
4. Genre
The genre were going for in our film would be a
thriller/horror. Originally it was meant to be a Thriller
however as we have added in a mentally ill young girl we
believe we have added in a slight scary theme to our
thriller so it will be a mixture of both. As the film is about a
young girl who is mentally ill I think the audience may
assume that the film may have a horror genre to it, but
they may not be so sure that it will be a thriller however
there will be a lot of tension building scenes which brings in
the thriller aspect. I think the people who want to watch
our film may have seen other films with similar storylines
or includes similar characters to ours and have enjoyed
them so want to see our movie as it appeals to there taste.
5. Music
We chose the music we did for our thriller because
there are many moments of emphasis which work well
with the action that is being played at the time. Also
there is a constant beat in the background which builds
up tension in the scenes and symbolises it’s the same
girl throughout the film.
At one part of the film there is music that is a number
of voices and sound effects mixed together which
suggest her brain is all jumbled and messed up. So the
music is also used as an indicator to the audience.
6. Unique selling point
The unique selling point would be that there is a limited amount of
dialogue in the movie, this allows the action to tell the story and
not let the words tell the story. Also buy not having a large amount
dialogue I believe the audience gets a chance to feel more involved
with the movie and really get engaged in what’s going on instead of
phasing out and just listening to what's happening and not
understanding it.
Another unique selling point would be that the film is set in a different
time making the movie more unique and have a scarier feel to it as
by setting it in a Victorian time there is a large stigma of people
standing out and being different just like the young girl in the movie
with a mental illness and in this time mental illnesses are not
accepted and may not be treated correctly.
