Evaluation Question 5: How did you attract/ address your audience?

Target Audience

The target audience for this film opening is young adults and teenagers. We have appealed this to our target audience through the location, location and filters we have used within this film opening. The location we used would have appealed to the target audience, because it was set in a place where most teenagers and young people have been. Most teenagers have either been on a walk or walked their dog through a field. As well as the field, the indoors scene is also one of which the target audience as the house is a typical one that they would live in. Therefore we though that it would have been appealing. As well as the location, the costumes we wanted to be appealing to the target audience. therefore the girl and main character was wearing clothes we thought were typical and stereotypical of both the genre and the target audience. The plot of this film beginning was a little stereotypical of the target audience because some teenagers have the extreme view that some adults are out there to get you and have gone mentally mad.

How could I have done this better?

We used many long camera shots and this would not have kept the target audiences. Therefore we should have taken a more varied amount of shots. As well as this being more appealing to the target audience, it would have made our lives easier as we would have then had more of a variety of shots to pick from and would have been able to have made the best quality of film opening we could have done. As well as more shots to build up tension to the body, the interior shot could have been more varied and have been more interesting for the audience with hints as to who the person is and why they were there. For example we could have had a little shot reverse shot and a close up of the knife to give some hints.
Some more interesting shots we could have taken were ones of family pictures and the stairs to build up an understanding of the girl. So that there is a little more of a connection and emotion for her.
