Audience Construction in Children of Invention

As we know, Audience Construction starts with the sender and is then lead to the receiver. Once it is processed through the receiver, they perceive the information presented. In the of Children of Invention, the narrator would be considered as the "sender." As the audience watches the film, they immediately start thinking about the image outside of what is seen on the screen. The audience is constructed in a way that the audience can relate with the characters and also connect with the characters in the film. This reaction in the film is seen through watching their body language, seeing their emotions and their reactions. We relate their emotions and situations with the emotions and situations in our own lives. Tze directs his film in a way that we are able to witness the family lives day-to-day. The audience then puts him or herself in the position that we are living a long with them in their life. By constructing the film we are able to see the emotions, we are able to feel like the characters. Contrasting Raymond with the younger Tina constructs the audience to feel the very real fear of losing what might be important to them as well as the fear of sparseness the family faces. The directed does a good job at keeping the viewer alert and promoting an excellent viewing experience. Without the body language, emotion and reaction, it would be hard for the audience to get emotionally involved with the characters and the film that makes it so good.
