Evaluation 5: How did you attract/address your audience:

One way I attracted my audience is through the use of editing, for example, "REWIND's opening ends with a close up of an eye. This has been edited to make the audience feel as though that eye is looking directly at them, therefore, engages their attention as they are being watched. Furthermore,  the eye indicates to the audience that there is someone watching the victim constantly, therefore, attracts their attention by raising questions in the audiences head. This creates an enigma and appeals to the audience as they are determend to what happens next. Furthermore, with the inspiration of "seven", that consist of constant flashbacks, I have also addressed my audience by starting the opening scene with constant flashbacks. This builds the audience attention  as they are focused on all these flashing images therefore, feel confused as to what is happening. Moreover, this attracts my audience to watch "REWIND" as they are motivated to see how the "puzzle" is solved. These constant flashbacks builds excitement for the audience and plays around with their emotions;  at one point they are left to feel confused as to what is happening and then scared with use of sound. By making the audience feel emotions they are more engaged towards "REWIND". Furthermore, I have also addressed my audience through gender and age. 
The victim is a female character who is a teenager, this makes the audience feel sympathetic for her as society has now become child centered therefore, the female character is represented as a little girl in the audience's eye. This makes the audience feel connected towards her especially when something bad happens to her. As a result, they are engaged to see whether the teenager finds justice and identifies the truth. Furthermore, the victim in "REWIND" has commited a lot of murders however, the audience constantly feel sympathetic towards that female character as they are aware that she suffers from  "amnesia".

'REWIND" is a movie filled of excitement, thrills, suspence, and is a mystery that is waiting to be solved for example, the dominant female character, "Komal" has commited a lot of murders however, someone is constantly watching over her, therefore, the audience are left with suspence and are engaged as to see who this person is. Moreover, another way I attract my audience is with the use of the mise-en-scene-. This considers, lighting, editing, camera work, costumes and prompts, and hair and make up. The Mise-en-scene is everything that is represented inside a scene. The fact that the victim wakes up in a room on the floor indicates that she is in a place that she is not comfortable in, this builds questions in the audiences mind (enigma) as to why she is there in the first place, also due to the newspaper and object onthe floor such as bottles and brooms makes the audience be in the victims perspective as to what is happening and why are these objects on the floor. This attracts the audience as they are motived to see how this 'puzzle' is solved. Furthermore, the opening scene of 'REWIND' is only situated in a room which makes the story more realistic. Usually people are found in empty rooms that is dark however, I wanted to challenge this and see if I can still attract my target audience.

Camera work  plays a huge roles to attract my audience as they can only feel emotions and see what the directors wants them too view. For example, a point of view shot attracts the audience as they are positioned in the characters 'shoes', this makes the audience feel connected towards that character.  The image below represents a of point of view shot. 

This shot shows the audience where the dominant character is looking and because the point of view shot is very fast it makes the audience feel that she is in a unfamiliar room. Furthermore, the camera is also positioned from a high angle, this tells the audience that this victim is very powerful. Furthermore, I engaged the audience with the use of editing, for example, during my opening sequence the shots are very fast however, when the victim looks into the picture, the shot suddenly becomes slow due to the shot being edited, this emphasizes the significance of the picture and makes the audience think that the picture has some sort of link to the victim as a result, makes them want to know what is it. Furthermore, the victims costumes is very casual, this makes the audience understand that the victims class. Furthermore sound also attracts the audience, for example at the beginning of the horror movie there the audience see someone typing on the computer but the however, later on during the horror opening they see someone typing but the sound of the typing is very fast this build up excitement and makes them feel as though something is going to happen next. Facial expression is a huge part to attract the audience for example, when the victim see's the dead body situated on the floor, you see her crying and also when she drops the image on the floor she is also crying, this engages the audience as they feel bad that she is crying and want to know why she is crying. Also, because she looks into the picture and it is edited to be very slow makes them think that there is a relationship towards her and the person in that image. Furthermore, because the victim shows shes confused with her facial expression makes the audience connect to her as they are confused as to why she is in that room. Never the less, the title s also one factor that attracts my audience. The title "Rewind" attracts my audience because the title it self implies its something to do with the past of the character, and therefore the audience themselves are raised questions as to what it is that she has done in her past. To conclude, because the character has amnesia builds up excitement, suspense and confuse meant for the audience as there stuck watching the victim put the puzzle of her life together.
