In terms of attracting our audience, we wanted to create an ethos of tension throughout the film to keep the audience hooked, we achieved this through devising a plot where an innocent teenager is being chased by a psychopathic killer wearing a mask. The fact that the film was set in a forest really created that sense of tension that we strives for, because in a forest, you never know what can pop around the corner and you never know what can happen next. The excitement that the environment creates really worked in our favour when trying to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. This ensured that we kept the audience attracted to the film throughout. The many dark areas of the forest also created mystery for the viewers, which kept them drawn in and attracted to the film.
The next key thing to consider when making our film was how we wanted to address our audience, and also the things that we wanted to address to them. Our goal was to address to the audience that young people are stereo typically vulnerable people, we also wanted to address to the audience that the psychopathic killer in the mask was not someone to take lightly. Once that we had found out what we wanted to address to our audience, we had to find out how to do it. As a group, we used the storyline of our film to portray the vulnerability of young people, the young person got hunted down by the killer, and when they met face to face, the young person was completely defenceless. The way in which we showed the audience that the killer was not to be taken lightly was through manipulating camera angles. When the killer went to pick up the camera that he had found, we used a low angle shot form the camera, there you see a brooding figure with a terrifying mask.
