How did you attract/address your audience?

To make our audience aware of our opening sequence, we told friends about it and put it up onto Youtube.

From the comments left on the video, I can see that the audience particularly like the variety of the camera work and that they found the mutants and the bag left behind enigmatic and mysterious. The viewers also liked the music and the radio tunning as they though it was effective, and another liked the flashback news report.

This supports our audience research from before creating our opening sequence, as from the results, we found out that both genders' favourite elements of a thriller were tension and action. There is evidence of the audience recognising this in our opening sequence, as several people said that the 360 tracking shot particularly created tension.

Although many said that they would watch the whole film, some viewers gave us constructive critisism, such as :

• their confusion as to why the mutants were still there five days later
• they thought that we needed to put the transitions for the names slower
• they suggested that we shoud hide the face of the mutant at the end
  

From the response from the audience from Youtube, we can see what the audience enjoyed and liked about our opening sequence, and what we need to improve - all of which we will take into consideration to improve the opening sequence.

From taking into account the response of the audience, we have taken out the title that says "5 days later" so that we do not cause any confusion.
