question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?

genre conventions- in the case of similar films the only one i can think of that is in anyway similar to my groups film opening is Memento. this is seen in how our main character is an antagonist as well as a protagonist meaning he may have committed a crime but he was provoked into it. our atmosphere also gives the impression that the story of the crime is still only part told or something similar to that or that there is something sinister at work. as for the conventional narrative order of the crime at the end of the film in the case of our film it is flipped to the front making our story a reverse narrative. this serves to catch the audiences interest in an unconventional manner

use of music/sound- in the case of music we used the theme from Schindlers list for our flashbacks and film ending because it gives the right kind of sad atmosphere to our film. Whereas for sound somewhat like in Memento the sound in the background are unnaturally loud or non-diagenic. this serves to make our audience pay more attention to the events surrounding the sounds

use of mise-en-scene- the main mise-en-scene we used for our film were rather typical of a crime thriller. that is to say we used a prison uniform, a knife, brandy, a tape recorder, a cudgel, and a file folder. this served to give our audience a clue to what type of film they are watching and gives them some comfort in the predictable which would have made our film more attractive to them because not everybody likes to see unconventional things in a film.

editing- for editing we slowed down our music in some places to fit the pace of our film which goes at a somewhat moderate pace. we also rearranged the clips slightly right up until the end of the project deadline to make the timing of the film fit the continuity we needed. the effect of this is to make our audience see a neat and ordered film

the USP of our film-
