The target audience that the film is trying to appeal to are people who enjoy exciting, scary movies. Some strategies that are used to ensure that the film is getting its target audience are, right from the beginning, using music associated with the conventions of thrillers. Not only this, but the first shots, through the images presented, establish that the film is for those looking for a scare or thrill through the use of low-key lighting and close up shots.
How has technology been used effectively?
Technology is used effectively throughout the title sequence through the use of editing techniques found. In many photos, special effects are added to emphasize the creepiness of the image. Most of the title sequence is also filmed as a close up. These close up shots give the image being shown an uncanny feeling; it makes the images a more sinister feel. As a result, these close up shots and editing techniques help show the genre of the film, thriller, and therefore aid in demonstrating their effectiveness.
