Thomas Phillips Audience Effects: The Descent The Hypodermic Needle Model is the theory that affects people while watching a film; the director of a film does this to get a good reaction from the passive audience watching the film. The beginning of The Descent it has a scene with a car crash, the affect that when the cars hit it creates a very loud bang which makes the people watching jump to the shock of it. A better scene, which uses this, is the introduction of the crawlers, it starts incredibly quiet but when the crawlers come into the frame, the sound is a high pitched screech and crashes, these are on purpose to make the person watching the film really jump after getting so into the scene because of how quite it was previously. The Uses And Gratification Model tell us that we watch films at our own choice, we watch a horror or a comedy because we like to watch them and those are the types of films we prefer to watch to any other film. The Two-Step Flow Model is the viewpoint of the audience; major horror fans that write reviews about a film have an opinion on the people who are thinking about seeing it, almost like a 3 rd party outside the professional side of the film industry; it is purposely just fans of the genre giving their views on how they good they think a film is for its genre.
