Film Evaluation: Question 5

5. How did you attract/address your audience?

The main way we attracted our audience was by creating an enigma near the end of the clip. We slowly built tension throughout the clip so the audience didn't know what was going on at the beginning but as the clip went on it became more apparent. The theme throughout the film is revenge and action, so we hope that this would attract an audience from films like 'Tomb Raider' or 'Batman'. Also, we hoped the narration would give it a very dark feel - similar to Fight Club - so the audience would feel the need to keep watching and to see what happens.

We hoped that with the black and white and the narration over the top, the audience would feel a Noir theme and would be intrigued by it. Films that have take this approach are ones such as the Sin City and it's sequel. These films are incredibly popular and made $74,000,000 at the box office. With this in mind and our film being similar to this, we would hope that the narrative would attract an audience too, as in Sin City, almost every story in it is about revenge, just like our film. And our clip really builds up this fact as the ending line is 'whoever you are, I will find you', which is also very similar to the famous line in 'Taken'.
