Thriller Evaluation, Question 3,4: Who is the target audience, what aspects appeal to them.

Our film 'Delusion' is aimed out thriller film lovers between the ages of 16-22 year old. I believe we will attract ages in that bracket due to the characters that we casted. we were unable to cast characters 18+ as that would make our film more professional, although we chose character that look older than they are both Molly who plays Eve who we believe is a generic femme fatal name, this links into 'Once Apon A Time In America' and Sam are 17. Although having characters that are 17 as the audience can relate to them, rather than having a 50 year old, as the audience can put their selves into the characters shoes, making it much more engaging for the audience. Another reason why this opening can be relatable as it uses contemporary moral anxieties, for example stalking, this is when we uses the 360 shot from Eve not being there to her being revealed behind him without Charlie knowing. Another one we use is the fear of death, Charlie dreams about dying, these both are relatable anxieties making it seem like the audience is actually in the film at more depths.
       Another aspect of the film opening that with appeal to the target audience is how confusing the opening is. As 'Delusion' starts the audience have no idea what's going on, if its a dream or real life creating willingness to watch more, although as it unravels the audience still don't know why Eve played by Molly is laying there dead after Charlie played by Sam has just woke after having a dream about Eve killing Charlie. All this makes the audience want more as they want to understand what has just happened making them continue watching the film. You could say the title of the film 'Delusion' is how it makes the audience feel, deloused. Another aspect of the film that makes the opening more confusing is that there is no narrative, this makes the audience read between the lines making the opening however they want it to be, therefore different people will interpret it differently, maybe the dream is the other way round.
       The final aspect that will attract audiences is camera work and shots. If the camera work is shaky the production will seem unprofessional also if there is a lack of camera angles the film will get boring. therefore we decided to fit as many different camera angles in as possible such as a birds eye shot, which is shown below, this attracts the audience as it shows Charlie to be weaker but also doesn't reveal his surroundings so you never know what's lying ahead of him. The camera work in the opening to our thriller was shaky at times although this can add to the affect as it makes the film more suspense filled because its almost representing nervousness
