How did we attract/address your audience?

We did not want to go with the rest of the other groups in our class that made opening sequence for a movie. We chose a thriller but more specifically a psychological thriller because we knew we could do a lot with that genre. Also, the 'thriller' genre is very broad, which consists of many sub-genres such as conspiracy thriller (The Da Vinci Code & JFK), political thriller (The Men Who Knew Too Much & State of Play)  and spy thriller (The James Bond Series, The Bourne Series & Mission Impossible Series). Alfred Hitchcock was one of the most famous and pioneer in psychological filming.
 We chose a psychological thriller because our main character's struggle is not physical but mental. We could play about with our ideas and confuse the audience. This is what we exactly did in our opening sequence, we played with the audience's mind. 
One person commented on our movie on Youtube saying "The scenes flowed really well and makes me want to see more". 
Many people I have showed the video to said the sense of confusion creates a good feeling and also wants to make them watch more. However, many people said that they were confused and did not get what was going on. Many if not all said the choice of music was very good and fitted with the tone of the movie.
