5. How did you attract/address your audience?

Action films are very popular nowadays, so I needed mine to 'stand out from the crowd.' I have used a very intriguing storyline, where the audience knows the character has been in prison and is wanted by a hit man. But they don't know why, and that makes the storyline really interesting. I have also used various effects to add excitement to my film: explosions, blood all appeal to an audience and they really increase to tension and anticipation.

The audience can empathise with Michael and they can feel the danger and tension that he feels. It is obvious that this young person is in danger and is running from someone. He is also bereaving the death of his parents and we really feel upset for Michael. We're anxious for him but feel sorry for him at the same time.
The assassin, on the other hand, is a sinister character. He is a slow and cautious but appears wise and he knows what he's doing. This cautious approach is portrayed in the slow manner that he walks in. This makes the tension last even longer and therefore really has a powerful effect on the audience. The symbolism of the assassin as an old man, perhaps father-like. This sort of figure would usually represent security, but in this film the assassin is the antithesis of security.
