Research CCR #2

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? 

My film opening gets the viewers by adding mystery and tension at the start. It starts with the news reporter talking about the crime as the camera slowly shows the murderer watching the show. This builds suspense because the viewer starts to figure out what is going without showing what happened. The close ups of the knife, gray shoes, and hoodie work as little hints.  These little things make viewers interested and tempt them to stay and watch to find out more. This engages with the audience because it encourages them to pay attention and put the peices together. We never show the guy is the murderer but our little clues hint at it.

This also goes to the arget audience for horror and thriller films. Its very all round category in which many ages and people love it. Why might people love horror you might be asking? well research shows that people like horror because it gives feelings like nervousness, excitement, and curiosity.  Some people love the adrenaline from scary scenes and jump scares, while other people watch horror as a way to face fear in a safe way that you wont actually get hurt. This shows that horror films draw audiences that like intense emotions and tension. Because of this me and my partner really wanted to add alot of tension in our opening scene because it one of the main things these horror lovers are seeking.  I also never knew this but horror is the most diverse genre meaning that its likings is very mixed as there is an even amount of people the love it and hate it.
