Horrible Bosses

This film relates to our opening due to the fact that it is a black comedy adn is based arouond murder. Although we dont show the murder in the first two minutes of out opening we are giving the audience partial information to connote that the protagonist is a killer. This is portraying narritive enigma for our target audience. This gives a sense of mystery for the audience. Making them want to watch the reset of the film.


Our target audience is teenagers, our opening is based on a group of teenage girls in a school, there will be a lot of narritive engima during the first two minutes to keep the audience involved and wanting to watch more. The fact that the end scene will be the antagonist crossing off faces on a wall leaves the audience to decode what is going to happen and possible what happened for the antagonist to be doing this.









Pulp fiction - based aorund gangster stories
