The document discusses how the filmmakers addressed their target audience through various narrative techniques: 1) It poses unanswered questions for viewers, like why the girl is photographing the boy in the park. 2) It subverts the convention of starting in equilibrium by showing a disturbed girl after the death of her baby brother. 3) It uses binary opposites between the girl with the camera who lost her brother, and the girl in the park who still has hers. 4) Costume colors like white and red are used to signify innocence and danger for the boy, and black for evilness of the girl home alone. These attract audiences through symbolism without language barriers.

1. 5. How did you attract/address your target audience?
NARRATIVE THEORY
Enigma Code
Our film, like most, does contain elements relating to the enigma code. Our story line
does pose many questions for the audience. One of the main questions we expect the
audience to ask is why is the girl is secretly taking pictures of the young boy in the park.
Equilibrium
I believe our film has subverted from the convention of a starting point of equilibrium as
it is clear from the beginning that a baby has died and girl is clearly disturbed. I would
consider this a state of equilibrium as it already poses problems in the audience’s minds.
Binary Opposites
Our film has conformed to the idea of using binary opposites, however it may not be
clear from the beginning of our film. The girl with the camera and the girl in the park are
the two in opposite states. The girl with the camera has lost her little brother, as shown by
the empty cot and the pictures of the baby on the wall. However the girl in the park still
has her little brother, this is where the two total opposites are established.
Props Character Function
I do not believe that Props character function can be effectively applied to our film.
Although it may have been easier to identify more characters into there different roles as
the film went on, I find that even in the opening two minutes his theory is flawed. For
example I do not believe the mother sitting by the cot would fall into any of the character
types described by Props character function. Therefore our film has subverted from this.

2. SOUNDTRACK
I don’t believe we used our soundtrack as way of attracting audiences. More to create a
desired interpretation of those on screen, we chose to use a lullaby as our soundtrack
which was to make the audience feel uncomfortable as a lullaby is something normally
associated with innocence and childhood.
COSTUME
The little boy was dressed in a white t-shirt and red jumper over the top. The white t-shirt
was used to portray the innocence of the young boy, and how good he is, as the colour
white is usually associated with good (.e.g. Angels). However we also put a red jumper
over the top to signify that there is a level of danger, as the colour red is often associated
with blood, death, danger and evil.
The girls costume when she is in her house is all black. Black is often associated with
evil, sin and malevolence, the opposite of good and innocent which is the connotations of
the colour white. This is another example of binary opposites used in our film. The use of
colour motif to create a desired meaning for audience was technique used which allowed
for us to display the characters and there qualities without giving away any personal
information. It also allows for us to reach, and grasp the attention of a much wider target
audience from early on in the film .e.g. if the film was played abroad, people would be
able to gain the same interpretation of the characters no matter what language they speak.
CONCLUSION
To conclude the main aim of our opening two minutes was to draw in the audience
through the conforming to the enigma code and leaving the audience with many un-
answered questions. I learnt through my analysis of many other thrillers that the use of
the enigma code is essential to a great thriller, therefore we have used as a way of trying
to draw/include the audience within the plot as much as possible.
