Kay Musonda - Question 5. How did you attract/address your audience?

In order to attract and relate to our audience we used actors who were around the same age and had the setting in a school; the genre conventions of a psychological thriller usually start off in a normal environment but everything is but normal. The music in the beginning is daunting then builds to become very disturbing, this helps keeps the audience intrigued about what may happen next.

What makes our film different from other films is the extensive use of symbolism (mason triangle) as well as the bizarre narrative behind the film. The fact that we based our film on the illuminati and that it’s an uncomfortable subject most people refuse to talk about and sets our film apart from other films. The fact the hero/victim in our film is a teenage male and that he ends up eliminated in the end of our film is a situation that most thrillers do not include, in fact most thriller feature male hero and female victim.

The setting chosen is a school playground, a place that is commonly associated with education and embraces youth achievement but has been distorted into a place of captivity and danger. The narrative focuses on a young male who is interested in politics and economics but when he finds out information that can prove deadly, the governments are on the look out for him.
This film can be compared with Misery because of the similar use of character portray and how the setting and narrative convey a misleading mood.
