We edited our piece to make it look like a thriller by using a build up of tension. In the first minute we used four different mobile phone shots to reinforce verisimilitude and importantly to create the light-hearted atmosphere of an 'ordinary' day. This then juxtaposes with the atmosphere created in the shots of the gun fire and therefore creates fear for the audience. The mobile phones create fear and tension as they make the event seem more real because shooting the sequence on a video camera would remind the audience that it is a film and not a real life event and therefore not create the same real life fear a person would experience if they were to actually witness this event in reality that our thriller creates. Our thriller is fast paced so that while watching our thriller the audience does not have time to process the event which creates the feeling of shock and horror.
We created a narrative for our sequence using digetic sound. At various points we turned down the volume on some of the small screens to draw the audiences' attention to a single conversation and screen rather than all four screens at once. An example of this is when the boy is rapping, this would attract our target audience and help the audience relate to the characters. To grab the audiences’ attention, the gun shot sound effects are unexpected and therefore shock the audience. They are joined by enhanced screaming to build a sense of panic. The gun sounds were synced, and then recorded through computer speakers onto a mobile phone before being put it into the film to make the sound seem more realistic.
The mobile phones create a cinema verite style of film making that makes the film seem like a documentary in style and is realistic. We used mobile phones and we tried to make the film fast paced and used a split screen which reinforces this effect and helps target a youthful audience as they can easily relate.
We used titles to make it seem like an actual British film. We used a certain font to target a younger audience and also a documentary style of font which adds to the realism of the film, helping to convince the audience. Film4 being mentioned in our title sequence helps to reinforce that it is a British film as Film4 distribute and produce British films. Film4 has co funded successful films such as 'This Is England' which is also a film about social-realism and therefore Film4 may attract a similar audience to our thriller.
To conclude the use of fast paced editing, digetic sound of conversations, split screens and how they built tension and also the content of the narrative and action that takes place would help to attract our target audience. As well as the attractive members of our cast and production company, Film4 would help to attract our target and secondary target audiences.
