Evaluation 5 How Did You Attract/Address Your Audience?

The Abandoned was based in a creepy burnt down house,this was the main feature that we used to attract our audience the house wasn't something that you would normally see and it was also in an open field with nothing around which also makes the audience think whats going to happen next as there is no one around to help her.

We also wanted to address the audience by using a teenage girl,this is the perfect way to attract your audience because we started the age group from age 15 on wards and having someone that they can relate to and this would keep them interested. We started our production off with an establishing shot which shows her whats behind her and what she's holding in her hand to represent a school girl.

We used reporters to make it seem as a real story and that it was actually based on true events to make it more effective we used more than one reporter this just helps build tension within the audience. Using the reporters made it seem as the film is about an investigation and past events.

One main attraction we used was showing a bible in the house,we did this because many supernatural horror contain religion and the bible is a massive attraction,its shown in most possessed films that they use the bible to help cure the person. So by showing the bible its attracts the audience because it gets them thinking if she did get help or not.
