Also using the uses and gratifications theory, the audience will become hooked on the diversion from reality. This is provided by the supernatural element of our killer. by having an obvious antagonist so early on, the audience will immediately escape everyday life. Also, having a supernatural killer in ordinary places( such as a car and a classroom) is unusual, and so creates a diversion from real life, which will hook our audience in.

 

     Surveillance is the fourth point in the uses and gratifications theory. After the string of four murders in 2 minutes our audience will want to know what happens next, as audiences naturally want to keep track of the characters and follow their storylines. This will be particulalry effective with our antagonist, as the editing ( in particular our use of super imposition to create the illusion of our killer appearing, and the swapping between alive and dead to confuse the audince as we don't explicitly show a murder) in our opening suggests that she can appear at any moment, seemingly out of thin air, and kills her victim in cold blood. The audience will want to find out more about the killer, for example, How does she just appear? Is there any reason behind who she murders? Questions like this will hopefully intrigue our audience and keep them watching.
