2. Mise en scene
We needed to have mise en scene that fit with the thriller
genre and to address our audience. In the target audience
research we found out that our audience was interested in
parties and our project was set in the aftermath of a party,
therefore we needed to get conventional props like
alcohol bottles and bags. The costumes were also
conventional for the age bracket of our characters. The
setting appealed to our target audience because it is
conventional of the target audience to hang around with
their friends at the park drinking and having fun.
3. Soundtrack
The soundtrack we used was conventional of the genre.
While searching for soundtracks we came across two
soundtracks by the artist Kevin MacLeod that we could
use. They were both free and we could use them for
whatever we wished as long as we attributed them to
that artist. We eventually found a third soundtrack that
could work. The soundtrack was both conventional and
fit with the audience from our research.
4. Character relations.
In the production we tried to include characters within
the target audience age, this worked because it made
the characters a little more relatable for then audience.
We only used people within the ages of 16-17 because
the whole focus was on these characters being isolated
and alone so we did not need any adults in the
production. Also adults were not in our target range,
mainly people in their late teens or early twenties. The
audience however wasnโt able to relate with the
characters because they were portrayed in a
questionable manner
