The document discusses how a thriller film holds audience attention. It does so through unanswered questions about why a boy was kidnapped and what motivates the criminal's plot. The cliffhanger ending also motivates viewers to watch the rest to learn the boy's fate. Slow, even editing between shots also engages audiences. Viewers want to keep watching to learn the reasons for the kidnapping, the kidnapper's backstory, and fate of the boy. Feedback from family and friends who saw the film praised the ominous atmosphere, eerie music, and lighting in the tied-up scene.

1. How did you attract/address your audience?2
EVALUATION QUESTION 5

2. Our thriller holds the audiences attention mainly through the use of its
enigma and the unanswered questions which it has throughout the whole
opening mainly being the question of why the boy has been kidnapped and
also why the criminal has to hold him for a ransom, the audience wants to find
out what is motivating the plot and the reasons behind everything, the thriller
also holds the audiences attention at the end of the opening as well thanks to
the cliff-hanger which would then motivate them to go on and watch the rest
of the movie to find out the fate of the boy which was tied up.
I also feel like the slow and evenly paced editing between all of the shots
captures and hold the audiences attention as they will not be put off by
editing which is too fast paced and editing which might be too slow paced.
HOW DOES YOU THRILLER HOLD
THE AUDIENCES ATTENTION?

3. The audience would want to carry on watching the rest of the film in order to
find out the fate of the boy and what has become of him, also they would
want to watch the rest in order to find out the reasons as to the kidnapping in
the first place and the reason as to why Sam was chosen to be kidnapped out
of everybody else.
I also believe that they would want to carry on watching to find out the
kidnappers side of the story and why he has turned to a life of crime and why
he chose this way of earning money.
WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO CARRY
ON WATCHING AFTER YOUR
OPENING HAS ENDED?

4. The audience which I showed the film to was my parents, grandparents and
friends which are not in this lesson or are not in the school so they did not
have part in it, all of the people which I showed the film to all said that they
liked the ominous feelings and atmosphere as well as the eerie background
music and sound effects which happened throughout the film.
My mum also said that she thought the tied up scene was pretty good and very
well done especially with the lighting.
