Evaluation 5, How did you attract/address your audience?

                                                         How did you attract/address your audience?                   

The opening to our film, Viet-Con, is very similar to the opening to the James Bond films. This is because they both open with an action scene (a fight scene, chase scene or shoot out) and then show the titles after. We adapted this method and followed them because we believed that our film and James Bond were very similar as they are both action films and follow the typical conventions of an action film.

First of all we used fast paced music to link with the editing and with what is happening in our film, for example we used non digetic sound during the chase scene to help aid the audience through the scene. We also used music at the end to link with the end of the scene and the introduction of the titles-we did this because we wanted our film to end with a cliffhanger and keep the audience hooked and wanting more.We did this because it follows the typical conventions of an action film as it had the traditional fast paced music and traditional action scene as the opening.

I believe the unique selling point to our film was that our film was different to others; it had a sinister setting with high intensity aspects. It also had well known actors such as Graham Burgess, James Hill and Patrick Cowley.

Overall i believe that the sinister theme and opening action scene attracted our audience as we predicted, this is because our film is very similar to James Bond and the James Bond franchise was very successful.
