How did you attract/address your audience?

To attract our audience, which was primarily the female demographic, the first image that appeared on the screen was of our main character (played by Lucy) and she was shown in a long shot, which meant the audience got a clear look at her and none of her identity was hidden. High key lighting was also used in shots of the main character to portray her as the protagonist, thus making her more relatable to a female audience.

Also, because the film is a psychological thriller the type of people who would want to watch this film would be people that enjoy this type of genre, and having to ask questions and try and work out the answers. This can be seen in our opening sequence when the audience only see parts of the stalker and their identity is kept a secret. This attracts our audience because they immediatly want to know who this stalker is and are inticed to keep watching to find the answers to their questions. Editing was also used to make the stalker more mysterious as most of the images of them are blurred or in black and white, making them more mysterious, and more difficult to guess their identity, making the audience ask even more questions.

Alos, in attracting our audience it is important to look at previous successful thrilers and look what worked well for them. For example, in Sixth Sense, the first thing the audience see is the cold, blue writing of the titles, and the audiences first impression is a sense of eerieness. This was an idea i particuarly liked and, as it worked well for Sixth Sense, used simular titles in my opening. This can be seen below:
