Researching for CCR questions #3!!

 Hellooo my Cambridge people! I want to say it's been a good day, but unfortunately it hasn't been. For the past two days, ClipChamp has been buffering on me and acting up. I've tried EVERYTHING but it's still so slow and glitchy. I edited a ton of work but it deleted overnight with the glitching of the system. I'm going to be honest, it's really starting to get on my nerves. It's extremely frustrating. Here's an example:




Apart from this obstacle though, today's blog post will be focused on answering one out of the four CCR questions! I've answered two already which means I only have two more left! I'm halfway there! Today's question is: How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

So first, my intro engages the audience by creating a lot of mystery and suspense right away. From the very beginning the viewer sees the main character telling her therapist that she has been seeing things and might be going crazy. That already makes the audience curious because they want to know what actually happened to her.

Then the story cuts to the flashback at her house, where everything starts feeling uncomfortable. The small sounds like the spoon clinking and the fridge humming feel really loud, which helps build tension. When the actor on the TV suddenly says “you weren’t supposed to hear that,” it becomes even more creepy because it feels like the TV is talking directly to her. Moments like the spoon appearing outside and then back in the bowl also make the audience question what is real. This keeps viewers engaged because they are trying to figure out what is actually happening.

The intro also engages the audience emotionally because it shows the character feeling confused and scared. Viewers might feel sympathy for her and want to keep watching to see if she is actually experiencing something supernatural or if it is connected to her mental health issues.

If this were a real movie, it would most likely be distributed through platforms like Netflix or Amazon Prime because psychological thrillers perform really well on those platforms. It could also be released in movie theaters first and then later move to streaming services. Trailers and short clips could be posted on social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to build hype and attract viewers.
Overall, the mystery, suspense, and emotional tension help keep the audience interested, while streaming services, theaters, and social media promotion would help distribute the film to a wide audience.
