My intention was to create a short sequence, consisting of 8 shots. I Chose a thriller genre, as I know many conventions from that particular genre. I hoped that the film sequence would create tension, in order for the audience to be on the edge of their seat. I did this, by having the setting in claustrophobic spaces, such as corridors, which helped to show the idea of no escape. The conventions used, included tracking forward, whilst the character was running down the corridor. This was to give the idea of a stalker following the victim, which in turn, created mystery. The sound effects used were heart beats because it showed the feelings of the character and how it was a pulse-raising situation. I also used an extreme close up of a foot because it showed foreshadowing, as moments later, the character starts to run. The extreme close up was effective because it helped to highlight an important feature of the plot because the sequence was about running away from a stalker. Additionally, the tracking forwards was to try to unsettle the audience, so it felt like they were in the dangerous sequence. The next convention was a close up of the characters face. The facial expressions helped to create the tense mood. When the cubicle door opened, i purposely made it silent, to show the anticipation and to build the tension. The final convention that created suspense, was having an eye-line match edit because it showed the severity between the two characters and it implied that the character could run no more, hence ending the sequence effectively.
The Target audience is PG as it contains stalker content but there is no actual violence, making it a mild thriller.
The sequence received positive feedback, proving that it met its target audience and matched the genre that was intended.
