Q5. How did you attract/ address your audience?

The first scene of our film involves the main character tied to a chair struggling in a dark room. This is intended to grab the viewer from the start leaving suspicion in their heads about what is happening in the film.
This is a conventional action thriller scene, we did not attempt to change the viewers preconceptions of an action thriller. To add this is also the only scene in our opening where any type of violence is shown when the villain punches our main character.

This scene shows our main character looking shifty and suspicious as he walks in to a room a long with this we have in the background a fast paced drum and base style soundtrack. This is aimed to begin setting the scene for the audience, the plan being that this small 2 minute introduction  allows the audience to settle in to their seats focusing on what is in front of them and forgetting about thoughts outside of the movie.

The scene with our main character opening a briefcase of money and then later goes on to throw the money up in to the air. This has to be one of our most interesting shots of our opening. What we hoped to do with this was to really open the audiences eyes making them think where did all of this money come from? Money is something that is often seen in action thriller films, however I believe that we adapted an iconic image of a hot shot character with bags of money due to the way we filmed him throwing money over his head. This made it very obvious to the          audience that our character was not used to handling large amounts of money!
