2. Our Target Audience
Our target audience is teenagers and young adults
however as it is a Hollywood blockbuster it will attract a
wide range of people from young adults to older
people. Our target audience is also not gender specific.
3. How does your opening attract your target
audience?
Our opening attracts our target audience in various
ways for example by casting actors such as Jennifer
Lawrence and Gerard Butler. These are actors who
are very popular amongst our target audience,
Jennifer Lawrence in particular who starred in the
very popular Hunger Games.
Another way in which our opening attracts our target
audience is by including the main thriller
conventions in the opening two minutes. E.g
violence, suspense, tense music etc. from our
audience research we learnt that these are all
aspects in which our target audience expect to see
in a thriller film.
4. The Soundtrack:
The soundtrack draws in our target audience due to the
tense atmosphere in creates. When we first hear the
music we immediately learn that this is a film filled with
suspense. The music starts off relatively slow building
tension as it continues, then when we see the title
‘Lynch’ and the music changes to an upbeat, intense
piece in which climaxes with the villain opening the
door.
5. Audience Feedback
From our audience feedback we learnt that the
audience enjoyed both the soundtrack and the intense
visuals seen throughout the first two minutes.
We got people who matched our target audience to
view our opening and then had them speak about what
they enjoyed and what they disliked.
We found out that a few people we asked dislike the
fact that there was no dialogue in the opening so they
didn’t get to form a solid opinion on the characters.
