We can see from this data that the audience could understand the storyline, this may be because of the title which is at the end of our opening. Also the young boy went off to hide, which we could see and also we could see she was looking round the house for him too.
The music builds suspense through our thriller, the reason being the music starts off quite low and slow. The sound then began to grow louder and faster through out the film which gives the effect that the danger is getting closer.
I believe the graphics where appropriate to the thriller becuase they gave a retorical question at the end of the opening which was red and gave the impression of blood or danger, also the text was appropriate.
I believe the theme was good becuase the kidnapping is well known and we gave it a twist in the opening, this is becuase we saw there was going to be danger and we gave the audience a good insight as to what will happen through the film.
Most of the votes where of 4 and 5 which means the audience believed the opening built suspense. I think the main reason for this would be the music we used for the background of our thriller, and how the music built up through out the opening.
Most people we interviewed said they wouldnt want to watch the rest of the film after watching this opening. This may be becuase we gave too much away in the opening.
I belive the audience to our Thriller said no because they haddn't watched enough of the film to know who the main villain is and who the hero may be.
The audience may of said this becuase we used the same angles a few times, but we flicked from each angle to the others.
The opening was meant to build suspense for the main film, which i believe it did.
Our thriller followed codes and conventions such as, sound, which built suspense when played at the back of the action taking place.
We can tell by this data that they could relate to the charaters by the charater being a child and the target audience being teenagers. They can relate being its transform city and the child is a normal person so they can understand the danger they are in.
We give all the detail needed in the shots we used, i think this is the reason why the framing was good.
Most of the audience believed it fit into the Thriller genre.
