How did you attract/address your audience?

To attract our audience of 15-20 year olds the actor who plays the main protagonist was around these ages. This attracts a younger audience of 15-20 as they can relate to or aspire to be like him. We also decided to show the character getting dressed into a suit which suggests he is going to work. Many people of this age will just be starting to get a job and be able to understand more of what the character is like by picturing themselves. Our product will also attract an older audience as they may want to be younger again like the main character and be able to picture themselves young like the actor. It will also attract a male audience as the main character to films similar to our own is usually a young girl which we challenged by having a boy instead. This may also attract a female audience as they might not always want to watch attractive girls being attacked but instead a male instead.
Setting the beginning of our film in a forest to show a dream-like state will allow the audience to no the genre of the film. This will attract an audience that like this genre and watch it regularly.


Our peer feedback was overall very positive. Many people said that we used a wide variety of shots and camera angles that worked well within our film. They said the shots were well composed and the variety of props, costumes and lights were effective within the frame and appropriate to our chosen group. The main thing people said to change was the music in the second half of the sequence. They said the first half had a good soundtrack and other sound effects however the second half ruined it. The views on this was that it was too fast and sounded too happy. Due to these comments we decided to find a new soundtrack. Instead of making it on Garage Band like we did before we found a suitable track on freesound.org. Before we imported it onto iMovie we asked people if it worked well and with a positive reception for that we imported it.
