Question 5- How did you attract/address your audience?

We made our Spy film opening scene attract the audience through the use of conventions belonging to the genre. The hostage making the scene tense to see if Joel Beckford did escape. This creates questions for the audience for why he is there and where he is. The chase scene also creates a thrill for the audience as anything can happen and if the hero escapes or not. This retains our audience and engages them with the footage. This is due to the effect of the dramatic non-diegetic music making the scene tense as Joel Beckford looks to break himself out. The conventions we used make it the tensest scene as Beckford is being held hostage and is attempting to escape and when he does escape it turns into a high speed chase on foot making it thrilling and exciting. We left the opening scene on a cliff hanger as Beckford is in the lift and manages to hide away from the bodyguard but we don’t know for sure if he escaped for sure. This leaves the audiences wanting to know the answer to Beckford’s safety.  

Overall this leaves the audience engaged at the start, focusing on the opening scene due to the questions it raises as well as it being action packed through conventions of the spy genre doing this.
