Evaluation Task 5 - How did you adress/ attract your audience?

Within our opening sequence we have purposely done things so that we appeal to our target audience which is ages between 15-50.

 

In order to do this we used a rugged looking male as our main character as we think it will attract our audience as he is a 'standard guy' who then has superior status over the forces. For age purposes we didn't want our main character to look to young as we feel our older audiences would not want this so we thought a character in his late 20s would suit.

 

Within our film we have planned to use lots of music to create the feeling of suspense through out and at the ending of our opening sequence has lots of tension building music including the sounds of helicopters and police sirens. We feel that this will interest our audience especially the people that focus highly on soundtracks and big names within the sound of a film.

 

Our thriller is mostly targeted at men as our film is a political-spy-on the run thriller with some violence but from my research into audiences I did find that there was a female audience as the idea of a female heroin (played by Megan Lee) was very attracting to them.

 

Another thing that we think will appeal to our audience (especially teenage boys) is the idea of our main character standing up to the police forces and playing a game with them (as they would see in the next scene, he only threatens to shoot himself and it's then revealed that he has power over them and manages to escape unharmed).

 

We also know that many British people like watching typical American films which may not be the greatest  movie or the most original storyline with the most realistic factors but still deliver being a good, watchable film. The incorporation within our film, I think, will appeal to our audience as it has a mixture of moderate violence and action sequences.
