Evaluation Question 1

I decided to answer my evaluation question 1 by means of commentary. I recorded my voice with the use of Garageband '11.

Evaluation Question 2

'Signs' (2002)

 I decided to compare the main character in my thriller  opening 'Out of Sight' to Mel Gibson in 'Signs' (2002).

Both of them are supernatural thriller films. My protagonist wears morning clothing similar to Mel Gibson, suggesting that strange things can occur at anytime. It helps the audiences identify the conventions of a thriller.

The setting of both the films are similar. They were both filmed during the morning of a normal day. With particular focus on the screenshots above, both my characters are standing centre of frame focusing on something in the distance. We, as the audience, are intrigued to see what they are looking at.

My protagonist, in 'Out of Sight' is the same age as Mel Gibson in 'Signs'. My character represents a the same social group as Gibson. There is also a clear domestic scenario in my opening in which the typical audience would be able to relate to. This particularly applies to 'fathers' who find themselves in the same situation of having to wake up and protect their child/children all the time. Furthermore, the house in which i filmed in was middle-class and so this film should relate to the middle-class parents in particular.

The social group represented by 'Out of Sight' is aged around 18-40+ middle aged people, both gender but mainly male. 
People around that age would watch TV and films like Danish TV drama (The Killing and Borgen), Sherlock Holmes, that includes elements like crime, heros, dangers, etc. So audiences will likely to be engaged and interested in my film 'Out of Sight'
