We focused a lot on the mise-en-scene of our thriller to attract and address our audience. Our locations in the thriller are all local and recognizable, which means the audience to relate to regional identity, which means it will attract 'locals' to watch our thriller. As well as location the ages of our actors attract different audience age groups whom can also relate to their class and ethnicity. Our homeless girl is 17 years old meaning that female teenagers can connect with her feelings of being alone.
As well as costume and age the audience can also relate to soundtrack. The soundtrack is fairly menacing and unsettling, however it is not there to address the audience, but there to reflect the thriller genre. Also our thriller highlights issues in society such as, homelessness and the vulnerability of homeless woman.
We used a cliff-hanger at the end of our thriller, to keep the audience on edge. The use of a cliff-hanger means that the audience will want to watch the rest of the film if they are interested in the issues in society that it addresses in a thriller format.
Our audience feedback:
‘More shots of The Stalker’
‘End shot- less ‘fuzzy’ and jolted’
‘More shots of The Stalker watching girls’
I understand these comments and took them on board- the comment: ‘end shot less ‘fuzzy’ and jolted’ , however I like that effect which gives the impression that the homeless girl is disorientated and shows a worms eye/point of view shot. I believe that the use of this will attract a younger audience because they can relate to how she might be feeling if they were in her position.
Our film taps into the contemporary zeitgeist by showing the fears of being stalked and how being a young woman, alone on the streets at night can make you very vulnerable.
