Shot with films and finding from questionnaire.
Question 5- How do you attract/address your audience?
After establishing the main aim of the feeling we wanted to embellish in our audience, feelings of thrill, suspense and fear, we very carefully planned out how to do this through mise-en-scene, shots and cinematography, by using shot lists, location shots and a storyboard pre production. Like in most psychological thrillers, we wanted the attraction to be the tension and unknowing build up for the audience, they needed to work out the mystery for themselves. One of the answers from our post production questionnaire stated that this was achieved through the sped up, close up shot of O'Brien, zooming out to reveal that half of her face is marked with H's skull makeup. This shot, teamed with the non- diegetic audio whispering "nothing is the same", represents H's full take over of O'Brien, she is now hardly herself, and he is in total control of her, leading the audience hanging in suspense and allowing them to interpret the rest of O'Brien's fate for themselves.
The overall result of our questionnaires seemed to be a success- some of our comments being "great special effects and camerawork" and "really good cinematography" with only a little difficulty with occasional stability of the camera in some area, making it appear a little shaky, which could have been improved by holding the tripod over stable ground. The most popular attraction seemed to be editing we used to make the film seem more thrilling and exciting of the audience. Examples of this include the sped up shot of H at the very end of the film, creating a scene of surrealism and chiaroscuro, and the filter used when O'Brien is being tortured, creating a dream-like state. Overall, the believe the most successful aspect of media product was our use of editing and cinematography, it successfully established our genre to our audience, and seemed to noticeably be the thing that that attracted them the most.

All of our results seemed to have a positive outlook of our film, with all saying they would watch our film again and stating positive comments such as "good cinematography."
