Section A: Question 1(b)- Audience Brainstorm!

Audience: A2 Coursework Related

Question 1(b) = requires candidates to select one production and evaluate it in relation to one of the following media concept.

Sound
à We decided to use a very recent music track within our film to gain the attention of the audience as they will recognise . Our target audience will also be attracted to the music as it is combined with dubstep which is their ages latest music trend at the moment. Overall by using this music track it will attract our target audience to carry on watching the film.
à We decided on having a silent film to attract our target audience to make them concentrate more on what they are watching and make them think about the narrative they are given. Also to challenge the convention that silent films are old and boring and attract the younger audience.

Camera Angles/Movements
à We attracted target audience through the use of camera skills. We mainly used simple camera angles such as medium, long and close up shot to make the film seem realistic in order for the audience to relate.
àHowever we did use some different camera skills at different points such as hand held to grab the audiences eye as it is something different compared to the rest and is very fast pace which will make them think what is going on.

Editing
à By keeping the editing simple by using cuts and fades it does not take the audiences attention away from what is going on in the film, and again keeps it realistic.
à Choosing to have the film in black and white attracts the audience as it is something different than what they normally watch films in. As its a modern day film with actors their ages it may attract them to watch it more as its going against conventions, however it is fairly similar to Sin City style.

Mise en Scene
à Through the use of costume and props we tried to attract the target audience by hoping that they can relate to what the characters are wearing and then relate to the characters themselves. Through the way each character acts differently we would like to attract the target audience to relate to one of them and to see whether they are committing a sin without realising it. 
àThrough mise en scene we have added in all 7 of the deadly sins and to interact the audience we challenge them to find all 7 of them.
