Evaluation Question 5


Age

We used many ways to address and attract our audience some examples where through age. Our characters in the film where of a young age and as our target audience is between 15-30, the characters where in the same age range in order for people to relate and enjoy the film more. The use of terminology really helped the audience enjoy the film as they where able to relate and understand what the characters where saying.

Here we see two of the main characters and they look relatively young the helped attract the audience we where targeting.

Genre

We also attracted the audience through the choice of genre, Through extensive research analysing opening sequences of other thriller films it gave us a understanding of what a thriller film included and the type of sound, camera shots and editing they use. from watching films like Taken and Gone Girl well known films with actors like Liam Neeson we where able to take ideas and make our own twist on the genre.

Location

Again slang is a big factor of why we would be targeting local audiences, people from England would relate to it more than a person from Spain as the way people converse is different and the slang that young people use is different, as well as this if a person is familiar with the surroundings in the film (setting) it would interest them because they can relate to it this really helped us attract our audience as they wanted to watch a film that they are familiar with the location and the surroundings.  I mentioned this in a recent post because feel its relevant to this subject as well. 

Evaluation Question 4



Age

The reason why we have made the age rustication is because the use of violence and weapons, these sort of objects should not bee seen to a younger audience as it can be distressing or harmful.





(Such as here when there is a baseball bat used to hit someone)

The terminology (slang) would be hard to understand for someone of a older generation as they have never heard some of the slang and wouldn't understand the meaning thats why its targeted to someone of younger generation and a normal upbringing as also someone who is maybe upper-class wouldn't understand because of their upbringing. 



(Here is a example of the use of slang and this is the reason why its targeted at a specific audience)

Gender

The reason why we targeted mainly a male audience is because of the main character being a male, also there will not be very women featuring in the film this could be put off for women to watch the film but this doesn't mean women can't watch the film because other factors as it being a thriller film or other women might prefer films with males means its suitable for them to. as well as this the film predominantly deals with male problems for example the use of violence and strong language, this is something you don't expect women to do or watch.

Local Audience

Again slag is a big factor of why we would be targeting local audiences, people from England would relate to it more than a person from Spain as the way people converse is different and the slang that young people use is different, as well as this if a person is familiar with the surroundings in the film (setting) it would interest them because they can relate to it. Because our film is targeting a local audience i think our film would be featuring in small indie cinemas like ones in Brixton and Greenwich.
