task 5- how did you attract/address your audience?

Our opening title sequence consists of several attraction methods. One of them being our shot qualities.
Other than our regular high definition shots we also had underwater foottage and slow motion shots which we used to add an unsettling feel. The fact that alot of thought was put into the characteristics of the production, will also be a key factor in attracting viewers who are very interested in cinema and quality of film.


The film starts off with a young girl swimming in a pool. This immediately addresses the male audience. As it has been proven several times in the past with many thriller movies, violence+girls in very little clothing is the perfect formula to get the attention of male viewers from the ages 16 to 40.

Another factor which provokes the audience to watch the film once seeing the title sequence is the feel of voyeurism one gets whilst watching the production. We have filmed it in a way which causes the viewer to feel like they're watching the girl without her being aware of it. As we did that, we used uncomfortable camera angles which gave the audience a feel of disturbance and pleasure at the same time.
Because the intruder isn't shown clearly, the mystery element would attract viewers who are interested in brainteasers. A similar audience to the tv series CSI for example.
