QUESTION 5 - Rough Edit

-->

How did you attract/address your audience?

My production is aimed at 25 to 30 year old males, this is because this is the average age of a film viewer, we aimed it at this audience because it gave us a larger chance of attracting viewers; and also the classic noir films are seen to be viewed by a more mature audience. The femme fatale would appeal to the men because she plays a seductive and sexy character. The use of violence in the film would appeal to the audience because it is natural for males to like high fighting and violence scenes with guns and knives. The audience are able to put themselves in the position of the young and vulnerable girl, they are allowed to witness the possible kidnap of the young girl but in the opening sequence it is not clear whether the girl is captured or manages to escape. This has the impact of suspense for the audience and they are on edge throughout. The incidental soundtrack, low angle shots and low-key lighting built up the suspense of the film throughout. Although the majority of the people we surveyed were aged 16-18 we chose our target audience to be 25 to 30 year old males this is because the noir genre is more suited to a mature audience. From the feedback we received most people wanted our film to follow the narrative of detective and crime so following the data we received form this online survey we plotted and crated the film to this favorite narrative and we have received positive feedback from doing so.
