Evaluation - Activity Five

How did you attract your audience?












When addressing an audience, who thrive on terrifying, gore related subjects the imitation of blood is an idea that could be used for fonts. Which we thought would suit our production company, as it not only represents us as a group but also us as a film.











These two characters, have locked Jennifer in the radio room. This kind of behaviour is considered as bullying. Bullying can suggest many different things, one of them being violence. Many well known horror films, include acts of violence, some more extreme than others, such as Friday 13th. In doing this, we addressed violence in way in which it could not be influencial among others.








The close-up's of Sakura, show her bruises and her tired eyes. Again another indication of abuse and violence. These injuries against her pale white face, seem very extreme. This leads the audience to wonder what happened to Sakura the night she went missing, leading the audience in suspense and awe to see what happens next.








During Horror films, the audience await the feeling of being startled. Usually characters hide and 'jump out' or just appear. In these two screenshots, it shows Sakura appearing under the table where Jennifer is hiding, which startles her. All of these motions aim to scare the audience, so that we gain a reaction. With the adrenaline running high, the audience are now vulnerable and any sudden movement can cause alert.










One of the most scariest thoughts, is being left on your own at night. So when Jennifer is locked in college and unable to get out, it seems like the perfect scenario. These long, empty corridors, set the scene for the upcoming event, which builds a large amount of tension.








The protagonist is often given the opportunity to escape. This usually gives the audience a shred of hope that the victim may survive. When attempting to escape, it generally involves a chase with eerie music. This again leaves the audience very vulnerable.

Aswell as visual aspects, we include a lot of sound effects to frighten or shock the audience. The score music used, keeps the viewer inticed.
