How will the opening appeal to the target audience

Harmony: We have considered many different ideas on how we can make our film appeal to our target audience. Our target audience is mainly aimed at teenagers therefore we will include many different features on our film so it appeals to our target audience and get the reaction that we want. As you can see from the presentation above we will use the vocabulary or the typical teenager so they can relate to the characters in the film. Our characters are also going to be teenagers therefore we will be representing our target audience that we want to reach out to through our characters as they are all going to be the same age; teenagers. We will also use Mise-en-Scene to appeal to our target audience so this includes the costume, the innocent girls clothes will be modern, a style that the audience can relate to. We will also use colours to appeal to the audiences. We have also chosen a setting that teenagers can relate to, a park represents childhood innocence and will make the audience look back to theit not so long ago childhood. We will use props to also appeal to the audience, these propps include a laptop (teenagers are extremely familiar with this technology)

Sarah: All these different parts to our film have been thought about to make it appeal to our target audience. For the narrative we will make sure that the main character of the girl will be the same age of our target audience if not slightly younger. (Our target audience is about 15-25). This will be relatable as they can imagine its themselves or a younger version of themselves or maybe they may have a younger sibling. This way the audience will definitely be able to relate and emotionally attach to the character making it more realistic. The attacker will be almost a dark figure that you never see who it is or why they are doing what they are. They are completely concealed and this may scare our target audience to think how this could happen to them. The vulnerability will make the audience symphathise and attach to the character and understand the film more. The therapist will be wearing the same jacket that the therapist wears so that the audience will get hints that the therapist may be the attacker but it will be a red-herring but as we are only showing the opening so they will be left with a sort of cliffhanger. The setting is very local and common so it will appeal to the target audience as they will be able to relate to it as it is common places (park, road, etc.) they will more than likely walk here sometimes so it will be more relatable for the audience. The props will be realistic, like the therapist will have official documents, laptop, etc. to show professionalism which the audience will find realistic. The attacker will have a weapon to show aggression and that he is the bad guy. All of these things will relate to the audience so they symphathise with the characters, find it realistic and enjoy the film more as it relate to them.

Jack: here is the PREZI I created for the group on the areas of the film that we have thought about to make it appeal to our target audience. Many of the ideas and reasons for these ideas have been explained in the PREZI. ideas include narrative, setting and mise en scene- costume, location, setting and props. A few examples of whats included above are as follows; Narrative- the actors are going to be the age of our target audience so that the narrative appeals more to them so we receive the right emotional feedback as we wish to present in the final film. Costume- the therapist is going to be wearing a suit which is key to thriller film conventions as it shows the officialness of the character. also with costume the therapist and the attacker are going to have the same leather jacket to make the audience wonder if it is coincidence or if they are the same person (red herring). the above PREZI conveys many ideas and reasons for them. Enjoy.
