What uses and gratifications will your film offer to your audience?
In our film will build suspense gradually and leave allot of unanswered questions such as why exactly is the character killing these people, what does he gain?, is there anyone telling him to do this.It will also supply the audience with a sense of intense realism through the use of realistic locations and continuity editing.Our horror film is also going to feature aspects of a psychological horror film as modern audiences tend to experience this type more in modern horror films.However we are not abandoning traditional horror conventions such as blood gore and violent deaths which is used correctly can guarantee a horror films success., this backed up by the fact that there have been several remakes of classic horror films such The wolf man(2010), The hills have eyes (2006) and the nightmare on elm street(2010).
What solutions will your film offer to their problem?
Our film will gratify our audience as they would want to escape from their boring lives this refers to the Dyer utopian solutions theory in which entertainment media provides solutions for the problems of their viewers.Our film follows the rules of this theory as our horror opening sequence is full of suspense and leaves allot of unanswered questions that create a sense of mystery all which increase and better the horror experience for the audience which is our ultimate aim.
