15. Target audience
• Our opening sequence is Niche because
Reason Explanation
Not many films have transgender This would be the case because there
isn't a wide range of target audience
that would watch this type of film
Low budget film It wouldn’t be advertised everywhere
therefore, not a lot of money would
be spent on advertising
Independent Only made for specific audience as
not many people are
interested/comfortable watching this
type of film.
16. Target audience
Target audience details Details Why?
Age 15+ It would be 15 because that’s
when teenagers would
mature up and would realise
what they want.
Gender Male, female Because male and females
could both understand and
possibly relate to some of the
situation
Race/Ethnicity All Races and Ethnicity Because everyone is able to
watch it and if they are not
allowed it also good to see
what people go through even
in these situations
Religion All except Christianity and some of because they might get
Islam where they would say they offended how they would
should be secure. Because they watch something that they
would say that there's a cure how it wouldn’t be allowed
would be with the same sex,
17. Target audience
Target Audience detail Details Why?
Location In the UK It wouldn’t be in international
as it’s a niche audience, and It
would only be shown in the
UK as it can be restricted in
some places because its all
about identity
Social Class Any class Anyone can experience the
dilemma of seeking there
identity
Interests/hobbies They can all have different because it wouldn’t stop
interests hobbies - All those kind of audience to
watch identity films.
Social Group All Because the people who are
in different groups such as
punks can also seek identity
18. Target audience
Target audience Detail Why?
Sexuality All Because this film has to do
with sexuality, so its good for
both sexes to know what
other people would go
through and to see what
people’s opinions would be.
Profession/Role All It would be all because
everyone has the right to
watch these kind of films if
wanted, this would mean
more people would be aware
about these types of situation
that some people would go
through

22. Narrative style/structure
A) Non linear
B) Our opening sequence would be a teaser that
establishes the character. It is also anachronic which
involves a lot of flashbacks.
• We decided to create the opening like this so it
creates enigmas and makes the audience have
high anticipation of what will happen
• Get the audience on the edge of their seats

24. Person
Time 2&3
Time Explanation
Flashback • There are flashbacks in our
opening sequence which
change the linear progression
of the story.
• We used flashbacks to
demonstrate memories of the
past
• This allow the audience to
gain perspective on the events
Discourse time(summary) In reality, the scene where the
main character is having
flashbacks at the train station,
happens in 15 minutes but we
shortened it to two minutes, and
will still get out point across.
25. Strauss Theory
• Strauss’ theory doesn’t relate to our opening
sequence because there are no villains and
heroes etc.
• This is because the girl is confused about her
gender so there is not right or wrong, its
about her finding herself.
26. Narrative Theory- Barthes
Enigma codes
• Delays the ending/resolution
• Sometimes left unsolved
• Answer to enigmas contribute to our
enjoyment of resolutions (new equilibrium)
In our opening sequence the enigmas would be:
• If she jumps in front of the train or not
27. Narrative Theory- Barthes
Action codes
• Codes of actions that lead audience to expect
contains consequences
• E.g. Psycho which is a horror film
The action codes in our opening would be:
• The audience thinking that the character will
jump in front of the train
28. Narrative Theory- Barthes
Semantic codes
• Meanings of characters, objects and locations
• Learn from experience about the denotations
and connotations
The semantic codes used would be:
• The colour red on her clothing to represent
the danger of herself
29. Narrative Theory- Barthes
Symbolic codes
• Oppositions and antitheses (light/dark)
• Female= close fitting clothes, crossed legged
when sitting, female feature e.g. breasts etc
• Male=baggy clothing, legs spread when sitting
In our opening sequence we will need to
consider the male aspect as the main
character will portray being a transgender.
30. Narrative Theory- Barthes
Cultural codes
• Bring understanding and meaning to the text
• References to things in popular cultures and
historical events
In our opening there is not a cultural code
portrayed.
31. Narrative Theory
Todorov theory also doesn’t exist
in our opening sequence
because he came up with, that
there should be a new
equilibrium but the audience
doesn’t know what happens at
the end as we leave in a cliff
hanger so they wont see the
new equilibrium
Finally, it also doesn’t exist
Todorov theory has the 5 stages

Music and sound 3&4
Music name: Native American
This would be played at the
beginning of the opening
sequence (non-diegetic
sound). This would be at the
beginning because:
Its slow paced, and there
is no tension at the
beginning of the opening
sequence
Its not up beat, which
means the music
corresponds with the
footage.

Music name: Kyrie
This would be our option 2 to be
played at the beginning of the
opening sequence (non-diegetic
sound). This would be at the
beginning because:
Because its really slow and
therefore it would work well
with Jodie as Jodie is walking
slow and thinking which
means there should be calm
music
However we chose this as
option 2 as its really slow
and there's choir music in
the background which can
disturb the audience, this
might make the audience
focus on the music rather
than Jodie.

Music and sound 3&4
Music name: Mountains
This would be played at the
end of the opening
sequence (non-diegetic
sound). This would be at the
end because:
It starts slow then speeds
up as Jodie starts thinking
whether she would jump
or not
This would also be god
because the shots gets
faster which builds up
tension, and the music
would have to
correspond with the
footage for it to make
sense
