How did your film attract/adress your audience?

The target audience for our opening sequence is teenage boys from 14 to 19. This is because both the characters are teenage boys of that age group and therefore they target audience can relate to them. Women and older men are less likely to be interested in a film with teenage boys because they generally can't relate to them. Although, you could argue that despite the gender and age of the main characters, anyone might be interest in this because the plot isn't something too specific where only a certain group can relate to it ( gang violence). Also, the reason for the target audience being males instead of females is because boys generally wouldn't be interested in this if the main characters were both female. Our target audience can be from anywhere that's a big city, people anyone that lives in a major city can relate to the plot. You're most likely to be approached by weird people in cities rather than small villages or towns where most people know each other. The target audience would also have to be a fan or horror films or thrillers.

I think one of the things that has attracted our audience was the fact that the leads were two young, black teenagers who are British. most thriller films have a white American male, who are in their 30s, as the lead so our target audience can't really relate to them whereas they can identify with this cast. The plot of our film attracts our audience because most teenage boys aren't really interested in romantic comedies or family films where everyone is chappy, i think the majority of them probably enjoy suspense and creepy stalker plots. It also attracts our audience because it's realistic. It's set in a normal town, where the main character is doing his Saturday job at the local cafe so it's not really fancy ( e.g business man/secret agent with a sports car etc). Also, the setting of the film appeals to our audience because they're more likely to watch something that is set in their oen hometown rather than some random place in a different country. Also, during the conversation in the cafe, David is quite brave and fights back and tells him to leave the cafe. I think most teenagers would do that instead of ignoring them.
