The target audience for this film is primarily adult women. The film aims to challenge common tropes of depicting women as sexual objects by showing women in important leading roles on par with men. To appeal to viewers, the film will incorporate codes and conventions commonly found in action thrillers such as explosions, violence, car chases, and fast-paced editing. Each character will have a distinct persona conveyed through their clothing, dialogue, and behavior to excite the audience and create a sense of tension throughout the film.

1. Target Audience:
The target audience is adults particularly women as we are challenging the
Laura Mulvey ideology about women being seen as sexual objects. As
female directors we want to show women can play an important role just
like a male protagonists. To attract the viewer’s we will be concentrating
on the codes and conventions. Adults enjoy explosions, special effects,
exotic locations, car chases, violence, fast paste editing and music. It’s
crucial to use a variety of elements to apply to people who experience these
events in real life. There will be violent characters with weapons. Also the
victim will be doing voiceovers, these prosodic features will relate to the
audience give them a sense of her personality.
Every character will have a set persona by dressing and performing in a
certain way. In this movie there will be a villain, the villain will be wearing
dark clothing to represent danger and dominance. The victim will be
wearing casual clothes that are simple with the color convention of white to
portray innocence and purity. The juxtaposition of their role will excite the
audience and make them feel a sense of tension and excitement. This will
give the audience a feel for the film and as it progresses onwards Jasmine’s
role will change because as she soon she finds the diamonds she will be
possessed by them. This will change her behavior and her dress code. She
will wear black to portray she is a femme fatale. Playing with the narrative
but making sure that the ideas are realistic is important for action thriller
hybrids because it catalyses the plot. Particularly with this teaser trailer the
darkness will sustain engagement. The ending of the sequence should be
left at a cliff hanger for the viewer’s to want to see more.
