and has a heavy presence.
Three murderers –

organization. You don’t find out many character traits as they are anonymous characters

depending on the scene.

a computer.
- She notices murderers and threatens them, and they chase her from the room, whilst she's
recording herself as evidence on a handheld camera, which is a very paced scene, and is
aiming to make the audience feel more immersed in the action.
- Running scene and then the camera falls to the floor, before she's dragged out of shot.

the opening sequence as to inform the viewer on the setting of the titles. The key themes of
crime will be shown through the policemen and detective, and him speaking of murder

7. TARGET AUDIENCE
PROFILE
Our target audience is a female
preferably aged 14-24 she's
you're stereotypical teenage
girl, likes boys, hangs out with
friends, goes to
Starbucks. She'd probably wear
the newest trends and is
always on her phone, either
texting or on social media.
Going to cinema is a 'must'
according to her, as she needs
to see the latest movies no
matter the cost.
Our target audience is a male
preferably aged 14-24 he's you're
stereotypical teenage boy, he
likes skateboarding, and is a bit
of a nerd and likes Star wars.
However, he is social and hangs
around with 'mates'. He doesn't
visit the cinema often but when
he does it's probably a horror
film or a thriller. Like our female
target he uses his phone to visit
social media sites, however he
doesn't use it as frequently as
the female.
We've come to a conclusion of both of our male and female target audiences equal each
other out making them both important to us as creators.
8. HOW WILL OUR OPENING SEQUENCE APPEAL TO
OUR TARGET AUDIENCE?
Our target audience is mainly
targeting 14-24 year old's, however
the film is more set for a female
audience as our research shows us
that females watch more of this
style of film. But this doesn't mean
the film is only for females, about
48% of our target audience will be
male. Our title sequence will engage our audience by
using mystery to draw them in as our title
sequence leaves a lot of questions e.g.who are the
killers, what's so important about this
information? As well as this they will want to see
how our detective deals with Lucy's death so we
are using drama as well to appeal to the younger
audience, and we are using relatable characters
so the females may be more interested
