How did you attract/address your audience?

We targeted our audience with the tension that was built throughout the film opening. The angles and lightening we used created a pathetic fallacy that creates a mood of unease. The genre of our film opening, teen drama, is relevant to our audience range as we looked up which film genre our audience, teenagers, watched the most. The short clips we used showed how intoxicated Aubrey was. It shows that her mind was distracted and could not focus.

Techniques and Feedback

The other techniques made our film appealing was our mise en scene, examples we used are; actors, costumes, makeup, props, setting and lighting. The audience feedback reveals that the benefit of using teenage actors is that they are young relatable. In addition after we created our first draft we used the constructive criticism we received relating to lighting/ colour correction we changed the outside shots to be brighter so you could see Aubrey clearer also included warmer tone in the shots in house to make it feel more homely to the audience.

Narrative theory

Todorov theory: This is when there is a equilibrium which is a state of normality, which is effected when a character disturbs a normality, this character is usually the protagonist (Aubrey). We used this theory through the argument between Carol and Aubrey as this disrupted the equilibrium.

Aristotle theory: this is where there must be a beginning, middle and end to the narrative. We used this theory seen where Aubrey was walking through the street to the house (beginning), Aubrey and Carol’s argument (middle) and Aubrey running away (end).
