(Evaluation) Part Six - How did you attract/address your audience?

In terms of reaching my target audience, I feel that some comments have clearly shown that i have done so;

'I liked the pace of the shots....they were really quick'. From our survey on thrillers our audience stated that they favoured the 'edge of the seat' effect and I feel that quick cuts gives this affect. Also, it also gives the idea of an 'action thriller' with as the most favoured sub-genre by our audience.

Moreover, due to the comment 'I liked the continuous flashbacks through the whole piece' it is clear that we have successfully presented the psychological element that we wanted to.

The leit-motif was said to be 'really liked' which is very positive. We included it as it could be used throughout to connote that the killer is clear, so it clear that we used it effectively.

From this it is clear that we have both reached and appealed to our target audience.

Overall, I feel that our production has been successful in many instances. The originality of the piece with the 'unique' typography and leit-motif shows that our thriller stands out. Moreover, it is clear that our clues were clear as one audience member suspected a link between the killer and the police.

However, there were a few less successful elements. In the feed back, one group states that there had been a 'mugging'. However, there was meant to have been a murder. I feel that they got this impression due to there being no shots of a knife, therefore, I feel I would have included a close up of the killer using a knife. However, it could be argued that this mystery and 'theatre of the mind' is conventional for the thriller genre. Moreover, one comment we that the lighting varied, however, I feel that this was no too extreme that it needed changing.
