Q5: How did you attract/address your audience?

As our target is young adult males, we included things that the stereotype would like to see in a film. These included props such as guns, as well as vehicles to suit the action sub-genre. Having a young protagonist might also attract the target audience because it makes the film more relatable to them.

These shots contain the aforementioned conventions that our audience would look for in a film and so would attract them. The editing of the shots is fast-paced as well, thus creating an air of tension and excitement which might also be something that an audience such as ours would deem desirable.

 

The results of our vox pop suggested that most of our audience enjoy thrillers that feature intrigue, excitement, suspense and suchlike, so by having these in our opening we fulfilled their expectations. We received mainly positive feedback from our audience, who said they liked the plot and the fast-paced editing, as well as how it created tension and suspense.
