Evaluation 2 Alex Barker

Our thriller opening represents very little social groups as there are only the given circumstances of 2 characters. Our thriller film is aimed at ages 15 to 25 and is aimed mostly at a mixed gender despite our hero being female. It would appeal to the female audience as it our protagonist is a young male and is wearing a jogger’s outfit. Therefore this already gives the impression that she is an innocent person doing a daily routine. Also she is listening to her music via earphones therefore that adds to the innocent impression which is given from her. This impression of her that is gives the believe that she is a character the audience can trust and figure that she is a protagonist. Stereotypically when the character is seen as the protagonist because of how she is represented in the opening. This is to create enigma and questions for the rest of the film to answer on who is she.  With the camera angles and shots used when the antagonist is shown in shot are mostly low angles with mid shots while the antagonist is seen in long shots. This shows that they should be looked up at and that they're rated quite highly in the film. However in the machine room the camera is positioned high and the camera looks down on the machines. This shows that these props play a key role in the film and will be brought up later on. This opening I believe is similar to many thriller films because a lot of films with the idea of innocence but then a danger occurs.
