Evaluation Question 5: How did you attract/ address your audience?



Targeted audience 15-25

Identity – the main character of our thriller sequence is a young adult going through different challenges to save her sister, death is going to be the main risk he is going to affront, and blood will be running. The targeted audience will enjoy the movie as they can see a character of their similar age, going through these challenges of surrealistic looking, although filmed to look as realistic as possible and in urban environment, psychologically constructed for a more complicated plot and perspective of a reaction.

Education – the massage for this thriller is never given up, but also education is not represented just using a quote, it is shown with in the costumes and the prop the thriller sequence was made. For example the protagonist is wearing a suite, meaning of highly educated person and highly paid, upper class individual, although this is just the appearance of the actor in the thriller, then the actual story won’t exactly be like this.
Prop wise we need to considered the use of vintage objects (keys, padlock and light bulbs), even though the thriller is illustrated in a modern key the uses of those elements made everything more interesting especially for the type of audience we are directing it to as they won’t be too used to see and manage with the type of props mentioned, something different to view and realise it brings interest, curiosity and wonder, key elements for our thriller.

Entertain – in the thriller very emotion are shown and demonstrated, frustration, tension, anger, fear and hope are present in the thriller, those feeling are usually commonly felt in every day life of our targeted audience and seeing them in a different environment or condition could bring up curiosity from the audience and enjoy even more as they see them selves in that situation. Also to add the idea of time running I added to the thriller to increase all those feelings and emotions to the limit. Having the idea of running, to chase something or from something at a younger age is the first idea to start a game, growing up it become a real fear that everyone in some way or the other one are conscious to have. Emphasising this an audience that enjoys in particular thrills will feel attached to this piece more.

Social Interaction – as this thriller is so different from everything seen before it will intrigue people in many ways, and it could become a topic just by this. If we add a complicate plotted than the interest increase as the interest audience can start compering idea between their mates and trying to find a conclusion to the story.
The emotion they felt through out the movie are really important as it will change their opinion towards the movie, positive feedback will word of mouth, followed by more views. The video id posted on you tube so everyone has access to it, parent and Hurtwood student will be aware of the Hurtwoood YouTube Channel so if they really enjoy they could easily show it to people by sending the link.

Genre
The Salvotore is a thriller/action movie as it presents features of both genres; it presents tension, thrill, fear, mystery, and frustration, blood, guns, strong language and general action.

From doing research I found out that there is a very similar scene in Saw V, however this is a horror movie so the targeted audience is similar or different. Harry Potter includes a scene where the idea od escaping from a room with lots of keys and one padlocked has been used, it is lustrated in a more crafty way and surrealism is the key for that scene, also targeted for a family audience.

Setting
The setting for The Salvatore are not complicated but more elaborated than other thriller made, this will add mystery to the sequence and a sense of effort will be felt through out the piece, it seems professional and expensive when it wasn’t that costly.
Those aspects for the general setting are done create curiosity, and wonder what is going to happen next, as this is just the opening sequence of a whole movie.
The props are vintage, adding a better designed look and interest towards the audience as not used to manage and see those objects as usual as electronic equipment.
Creativity is shown, encouraging the audience especially those that are interested into arty subjects, will feel more inspired by watching the thriller.
In this targeted audience the ideas of travelling, being creative and get experienced, for how strong those are they will affect their mentality and dreams.

Narrative
The narrative of the story of the whole movie is a complicated plot, where this young man to find the cure for her ill sister is brave enough to expect very challenges, like stilling, murdering and risking his own life.
The opening sequence shows the protagonist trapped in this cell, full of keys and only one padlock, however the time condition are restricted so he needs to try to escape before the villains will come to kill him.
As it is very psychological as opening sequence and lots of diverse emotion are demonstrating and felt while watching the sequence. My targeted audience will appreciate this as they feeling of fear and struggle, with the image of a customised hero that to save someone he loves his disposed to kill, intrigues the audience adding interest to it.
The character being a young adult it gives the idea of adventure and inexperience, a fear representation of the targeted audience.

Media Representation
The targeted audience is young adults between 15 and 25 years old, preferable male, I selected this audience as I believe that their interests are illustrated in The Salvatore.
For example, the feeling of fear and the representation of death is likely to be enjoyable for this targeted audience as they are considered the generation of video games. The thriller presents action and uses of guns, blood and strong language, other elements researched in this targeted audience as they have never experience such as thing, feeling involved with in the movie and for once feel what it mean to be part of it, gives them the feeling of adrenaline that are always looking for just in different actions, for example a football match and travelling.
The main character wears a suite and for this targeted audience the idea of one day be part of a high social class having a well pay is part of their dreams and hope. Dressing cope, stylish it is important for the targeted audience especially if we talk about special occasion.
If the main character would have been a famous actor, I believe the best at incorporating the character would be Dylan O’Brien from The Maze Runner.

Music
Music wise we didn’t use as soundtrack, this was done because we used different type of sounds effect in the background to increase the tension and the felling being chased by someone one. Also silence is considered of big impact especially to add tension to the scene.
As sound effects we used several different sound from adobe and created a sequence that we repeated few times, and increasing the volume of it we created the idea of time running and ne chased after someone. This increases tension and adds mystery to the sequence, as the sound is heard but not shown.
All those features will increase the interest towards the thriller, as the audience is generally looking each of them. The idea of not knowing what is going to happen next and what is actual happening has always brought up frustration towards the audience as their curiosity won over any other feeling, and if we add tension with action than is just more appealing for them to carry on watching.

Title
The title is The Salvatore that in Italian means the saviour, young adults audience always think about travelling and they have as special interest towards those in many different ways, food, language, history etc. So adding something unique to the title sequence already attracts some people as they will research and in some way they will be part of it already.
The tile sequence were written white, bold and centred in the black screen, jest to make sure those name would get all the attention needed, without any distraction. The petty of the targeted audience is easily distractive.

Editing/ film style
The style of the movie is a fast pase, but it changes through out the movie, in the opening sequence it starts slowing than to increase the feeling of tension and frustration we increased the pase becoming lot more quicker and then slowing down again, to give a breather to the audience and the time wonder what is happening and why. The editing is clean and doesn’t present any possible distraction with special effects but it is present with different points of views and perspective to get the audience even more involved and part of the whole.
