Question 5

Our thriller mainly focused mise-en-scene and character stereotyping to attract and address the audience. The location of the thriller was inspired by Peter Weir's "Witness", we felt that the gritty public cubicles were a very uneasy place to be. We seem to grip the audience with the sense of entrapment, foulness of the toilets and the sense of vulnerability it the scummy public toilets, due to these factors it will help build suspense. The audience will be able to relate to an instance when they were in a cubicle and didn't feel comfortable or threatened, this will help attract audiences because they will engage with the scene.
Another way we attracted our target audience is by including two characters the same age as our target audience, this was done so when they watch the film they can potentially relate to the character. The main focus of the film is of the gay character, this was done so the audience could relate, engage and even feel sympathetic for the character, this was done with the use of follow shots, master shots and also the whole shot revolving around the gay character. A small minority of the audience will also be able to relate with the gay character because they may have been in situations where they were victimized because of there sexuality. The film addresses social issues on how those who are different are victimised not admired for there decisions. One of the main points of the film was to address how homosexuals are victimised, this will attract a specific audience of homosexuals because they will be able to relate with the plot and emphasise for the main character.
Those within the target audience will also be able to relate to the film through the clothing of the main character, it portrays popular high street fashion which will help attract our target audience because they will engage with the characters style and attitudes.

The finale of the intro leaves the audience at a cliff hanger, the villain has the main character pinned up against a wall. Audiences will be attracted to watch more because they will be curious of what happens, does he escape? is he killed? A main aspect of a thriller film is the use of a cliff hanger to create suspense and create an attraction from the audiences.
