Evaluation Question 5

How did you attract/addressed the audience?

My group  thought that using teenagers would attract the certain type of audience which we are aiming for. We wanted to show a typical city teenager which was reckless by showing him carrying knifes and even the clothes that he was wearing youths would normally wear. Having a stereotypical character helped us to relate to the audience. The name of the opening sequence may bring curiosity to the audience and the scene of someone watching the victim supported the name of the opening sequence 'the watcher'. We tried to make the audience feel part of the scene by making it the point of view for the character for example when the dark figure was behind the victim. We liked to show the audience things which the characters were unaware of what was going on for example the dark figure watching him come out of his house and when he was walking.
Through the opening sequence I was able to portray my opinion of the feelings of paranoid people knowing that they are under threat when they leave their homes. We were able to manipulate the audiences emotions when first thinking that the main character was doing wrong by carrying knifes, however realizing later that he is the victim himself and that it was protection and not to cause crime.
