How did you attract/address your audience?

I addressed my target audience by strictly abiding by the codes and conventions of the thriller genre, for example by adding action and quick edits etc. This established the genre, and attracted the target audience. From the audience research I conducted and analysed I chose to stick to the results I received . This will attract the majority of the target audience based on the trends of their answers. Another way I attracted the target audience is by creating characters and casting actors that would match the age of the audience. In this way they would be able to relate to the characters and narrative that I have developed. I added tense music to build up suspense throughout the scene. Keeping the mood tense, making the viewer anxious from the start.
My audience feedback for my thriller has been overwhelmingly positive with viewers praising the originality of the thriller and the editing especially. Many people liked the use of the split screen and changing the thriller from the standard colour to black and white. However, people felt that there was too little dialogue and characterization. Leading them to feel detached from the characters. My response to this would be that characterization would happen later in the film. Some viewers also pointed out that background ambient sound could improve the opening scene. I agree with this point as only using background music makes the thriller seem very constructed and not real.
