The document discusses how the filmmakers targeted and addressed their intended audience for a slasher horror film. They aimed the film at teenagers and young adults, who commonly enjoy the horror genre. To attract this audience, the film employs several slasher film conventions including graphic camerawork, a lack of dialogue to build tension, and casting young unknown actors for viewers to feel more empathetic towards.

Audience?
EVALUATION QUESTION 5
BY ELLIOTT EDWARDS

2. • Audience is a key part of film making, as without one, there is no use for the
film.
As our film is a Slasher Horror, we have decided to direct our film towards
audiences in their late teenage years up to the early 20’s, as that is the most
common age group to watch this genre of film.

3. Genre?
 A vast amount of
young people are big
fans of the genre
 Good for people
seeking a cheap thrill
 Easy to follow, similar
to many other films
situated within this
genre
Our film title

4. Camerawork/Editing
 Vast array of angles/sizes, such as wide
shots leading to close ups, tracking and
establishing shots.
 Graphic Matching
 Used a lot of audio, instead of sound in
many clips, heightens tension and
enigma
 Lots of tracking shots to help show the
audience the environment and to aid
them in analysing the area so they can
understand what is happening more

5. Enigma!!!
 Major part of an opening is to create enigma
 Lack of dialogue heightens tension
 Normal routine of protagonist and innocence of
environment around him, urges viewers to think
that a problem is inevitable.
 The opening is almost a sign if the film is going to
be entertaining and of good quality, that is why
we have tried to pack as much excitement in as
possible.

6. Cast
 Use of young actor makes the audience feel more empathetic towards him,
as he has his whole life ahead of him yet he is meeting such an early death.
 Also, the use of an unknown actor will intrigue the audience, as they are
seeing a young unexperienced actor partake in a film and develop a talent
and ability to act.
