Evaluation - How did you attract your audience?

Our target audience would have been for people between the ages of 12/13 to 30, this is because it is not a  gory thriller with no blood but it could be seen as physiological thriller therefore is fine for 12/13 year olds.

The mise-en-scene in our sequence could attract the younger audience as it is based in a teenage girls bedroom, this links because young people can relate to the bedroom and feel what the main character feels.

For our casting, we decided to have a teenage girl, this is because she would be the most vulnerable character out of any other, this is because teenage girls are stereotyped to be immature. In thrillers, the 'damsel in distress' is usually a girl, it is often a typical icon of thriller movies. For our antagonist, we chose a male character, this is typical in thriller movies as males are often seen to be more dominant than females. This differs from our inspiration from the film 'Jennifer's Body' because the antagonist is female.

We decided to have a phone playing a big part in our sequence, this is because phones play a big part in young people lives and are often seen to be 'obsessed' with them, this sequence shows that their phones are not always a good thing. The fact that we also based the first half of our sequence in a bedroom also could attract to young people because they are often stereotyped to be very lazy and like to sleep.

We have typical media conventions in our sequence, for example, the 'damsel in distress' is a young female (vulnerable), and the antagonist is a male character (more dominant).

Our audience feedback varied, some people said that it was good but needed tweaks like adding shadows or to build the suspense, others said that it could be seen as a comedy-thriller. One main point that was addressed though, was the fact that our main character did not say hello when she answered the phone, this was partly to do with the fact that we didn't want her to because it was late at night in the scene and she was scared, and also because the sound quality on the cameras we used wasn't very good.
