2. The target audience or our film would mainly come under the tribe
‘Mainstream’. It is the biggest part of the market, but I believe that
because our film comes under the genre action. Mostly young, middle-
age men would be interested in the film, as they like the adrenaline of
the action films and take in the characters as a role model. In order to
achieve this we had to create tension through the shots that we took
throughout the sequence. By building the tension we left a long pause in
the middle of the sequence and let the audience just focus on the sound.
This built up the tension for the last shot.
3. Our thriller starts of with a trolley being pushed down a dark
corridor, this shows a gloomy side to the beginning of the
thriller. It attracts the audience into the thriller, as they want
to find out what is on the trolley, who is pushing it and where
they are pushing it. The main idea is to leave the audience
asking questions. These shots that show a dodgy trolley cart
can attract the age of the target audience.
4. We then showed an over the shoulder shot, so you are able to see the
length of the corridor. The audience are then able to see that the
corridor is white with little light getting to it. At the end is a door with a
glass window which is carrying a feint reflection of the man pushing the
trolley. This all adds to the gloomy and scary corridor, that our target
audience will like. The camera then pans down from the face , across the
tattooed arms, this gives off the stereotypical view of a scary tough man,
this would attract the age group that we are looking for. It then ends on
the outline of a face, covered by a white sheet. Leaving the audience
wanting more.
5. At this point in the sequence, we want our target audience to be asking
questions about the trolley. Who is in dead? Why are they dead? Where
are they? What have they done?
This keeps the audience wanting more of the film, keeps them interested
to keep watching and enjoy the film. As our target audience is young –
middle age men. They wouldn’t over think some of the questions unlike
the women. Therefore they stay interested.
6. Here again, we see the body in the back of a van, and a simple shot of
someone shutting the doors. The audience then automatically think
this is a mortuary van. So presumably they think the person is dead.
The van starts driving of and the screen goes black. The audience
focuses on the sound that is playing through out the darkness. They
hear a few bangs throughout the journey of the trolley moving
around. You then hear the hand break and the van stopping. The
audience assume there is movement in the back.
7. Here is the final shot of the sequence. You are then able to see that
when Adam the driver opens the van doors, you can see an over the
shoulder shot of the supposedly dead man. He shoots Adam dead
before he can do anything about it. The audience then uses their own
imagination to think what is going to happen next. Is he going to run? Is
he going to steal the van? The target audience being the young to
middle age man will carry on the story in a way that they think will
impress them the most.
