Question five of the evaluation for the two min opening film

What kinds of audience pleasure are you trying to provide, and how confident are you that you have delivered on this promise?

I believe that the audience we are trying to target are the who likes thriller/horrors genre's, this is mainly people of late teenagers plus. But the pleasure we are trying to provide is one that is hard hitting as the characters are young, what is being shown is a possibilty to reality, and so this is more likely to draw them in. I am pretty confident that we have succeeded this as ours could be a portrayal of reality, and because of the black and white contrast colour and the fast paced speed in the woods, it is most likely to be successful.
Looking at a basic model of Uses and Gratifications theory, why would an audience member seek out to watch our film? They would come to watch it to fulfill a need of entertainment (due to a lack of boredom), plus as previously said the characters being young it's easier for younger audience members to connect. Being fast paced and a lot of tension is built this creates a film that will never entertain.
