Subject line: John P. Hallar’s Connection with Audience
What I learned doing this assignment is ensuring that the audience feels the same thing Em and Kimberly do.
- Tell us which characters you
are going to INTENTIONALLY create a connection with the audience.
- Em (the Protagonists) mostly, then Kimberly the
daughter to a lesser degree then to an even lesser degree, the Antagonist/CA
Judith.
- With each character, tell us
how you’ll use each of the four ways of connecting with the audience in
the first 30 minutes of the movie.- Em
- Relatability – Being lonely. Wanting to have a family.
Having your body fail or falling apart on you. - Intrigue – What is Em up to? What’s his plan for him (and
Judith). What’s going on in that old, feebly brain of his. - Empathy – Being alone, wanting to spend Thanksgiving and
Christmas with a family. Providing for a teenage girl that should have
more. - Likability – Em is very giving while being an ass. He’s
funny at times, emotional.
- Kimberly
- Relatability – Having your parents getting old, seeing them
get older, less capable of providing for themselves. - Intrigue – Why is Kimberly so harsh against her dad, speak
to him so disrespectfully. - Empathy – Watching a loved one being taken advantage of and
not being able to do anything about it or stop your parent from doing
it. - Likability – Trying to do the right thing and protect your
parent from elder abuse.
- Judith
- Relatability – Being poor, extremely poor and trying to raise
and provide for a teenage daughter. Being in poor health. - Intrigue – What is going on with this guy she has over to
her trailer. Is she really using the money for what she says she is. - Empathy – Having to raise a teenager with little to no
money while being in poor health. - Likability – Judith is conning Em so she can provide for
Maddie, her daughter.
