Thriller Research Evaluation Question 5

5)How did you attract your audience?

We interviewed a friend, and I asked my parents in person what they would expect from a thriller (these are all on previous blogs).

Various shots throughout the opening titles help the audience become attracted to the enigma which is the briefcase by close up shots and long, birds-eye shots to give a sense of its surrounding and how it stands in importance. The isolation of the characters, and the blank surroundings e.g. the white corridors lead to focused primarily on the case which is being passed from peer to peer.

The change of pace in our main task was important at the end of the opening titles, as a way of keeping the viewer on edge when the screen cuts to blank to reveal the title of the film after the assassin reaches for the businessman who is trying to open up the briefcase. The change of pace is the amount of hard shot cuts to another shot like when the assassin's shadow flies across the floor to when it immediately shows the businessman turn his head in anxiety that hopefully makes the viewer a bit nervous as well or "on the edge of their seats".

From our research on thrillers with our peers, we definitely incorporated a thriller theme well with our black and white costume variation, and we hope that the end of the opening titles brought that anxiety feeling to the audience regardless of the setting we picked to film that had a green screen in the background by accident, but we can easily get away with simple, lazy mistakes like this, and state that it is a filming studio in the actual fictional setting if the film continued in production.
