The filmmakers aimed to attract their target audience of young people interested in romance by including conventions of romantic comedies in their opening sequence, such as hearts and lighthearted music. They also hoped to make the film relatable by featuring two main characters who are 17-year-old girls with very different personalities, so that many female viewers would identify with at least one of them. Props were heavily featured on pinboards to immediately characterize the two main characters for viewers before they appeared. Special effects like green screen were also used to make the film seem more interesting compared to typical romantic comedies.

Audience profile
The film is a 15-rated crime thriller that contains graphic violence and language. It tells the story of a stalker whose victims are women, though the stalker is never seen. While the plot involves rape, these scenes will not be shown. The intended audience is ages 15-30, as the graphic content suits older viewers, and the crime thriller genre generally appeals to older audiences. Females in particular may relate to the female victims. Close attention is needed to follow the nonlinear plot. The film aims to appeal to audiences of all races.
Eq 4
The target audience for the media product is younger people, teenagers and young adults, as the film features relatable characters and uses social media themes that will appeal to these age groups. However, some teenagers may not relate to the marriage and infidelity storyline. The film may also appeal to middle-aged adults who can relate more to the situation, but they may not connect with the younger characters. The elderly are unlikely to relate to the social media aspects or young actors, and may feel they have seen similar thriller plots before.
Question 5
The document discusses how the opening scene of a thriller film attracts and addresses its audience through its location, voiceover, creation of an enigma, and introduction of characters. The suburban location and religious symbols make the setting relatable. A first-person British male voiceover allows the audience to feel his emotions. An enigma is quickly established to intrigue audiences and make them wonder what will happen. The first character, a suited businessman on a phone call, is meant to be relatable as someone the audience encounters regularly.

- The most popular age group was 15+, as many horror films now rated 15, broadening the audience age range. In the past, horror films were strictly rated 18+.
- The most preferred genre was horror, then comedy and action. Horror films are exciting for teenagers as they involve suspense, thriller and mystery.

- Soundtracks are also very important, especially for horror films. Background music and sound effects set the scene
Question 4 and 5
This document discusses the target audience for an action film. The target audience is males aged 12 to 20 because action films are generally rated 12 or higher and tend to appeal more to teenage boys than older audiences or females. The film aims to attract its target audience through depicting relatable characters, including actors close in age to the target audience who dress in typical teenage clothing. The film also includes a realistic teenage gang for the audience to relate their own experiences seeing gangs to the main character's interactions with the gang in the film.
Thriller audience
The document discusses research conducted into the target audiences of different thriller genre films. Initial research indicated that thrillers generally appeal most to young adults aged 18-25. However, looking closer at subgenres and specific films like Gone Girl, Shutter Island, and Taken using the profiling site YouGov, the target audiences identified varied in some ways from the initial assumptions. For example, Gone Girl appealed more to older females, while Shutter Island was found to target males more than females. Some of the identified target audiences, like those for Taken, went against the researcher's expectations based on other factors like rating. Overall, the profiling site provided more detailed audience information than just age and gender. For the researcher's own film, the

Attract audience
The document discusses feedback from a test screening of the opening to a student film. The audience, aged 16-18, responded positively and wanted to see more. They found the flashbacks interesting and creepy, creating suspense. Males seemed more interested than females, possibly because the female role is an attractive blonde woman. However, one viewer was confused by the role of an older male character at the end and didn't realize he was a detective, which could negatively impact their willingness to watch more. Overall, the film attracted its target audience through its thrilling narrative, characters, and use of effects and sound.
How did you attract adress your audience
Our film "This Life Ain't Fair" follows three boys from South London trying to succeed in the music industry while leaving behind a past of gang life and crime. We aimed to attract local audiences by setting the film locally and dressing the characters in typical South London clothing like tracksuits and hoodies that viewers could relate to. The opening scene does not reveal too many details about the characters' struggles so that audiences can relate their own problems without focusing on extremes. This realistic portrayal of relatable issues and clothing was intended to engage audiences who might otherwise be put off by unrealistic scenarios.
Task 5: how we Adressed/Attracted our audience
The film aimed to attract its target audience of 16-25 year olds through several techniques:
1) Setting the opening scene in a school canteen, a familiar and comfortable setting for young people.
2) Including graphic and realistic depictions of death and violence, which teens find thrilling.
3) Featuring guns to provide viewers with an adrenaline rush from watching violent acts.
4) Casting attractive male and female leads around the target age to appeal to both genders in the audience.

Question 2 evaluation
This is my second evaluation question for my media product, looking at how social groups are represented in my film opening.
Question 4 and 5
The document discusses the target audience for a media project. The audience is intended to be for both males and females ages 12 and older. While the film has romantic elements that may appeal more to females, comedic aspects are included to also interest males. The film uses two 17-year-old actors and mainstream music, costumes, and settings in a city to make the film relatable to its young audience and attract their interest. Audience research through surveys and focus groups was conducted to understand preferences and gather feedback that was incorporated into the film.
Evaluation question 5
Our primary audience would be teenagers aged 15-18, who can relate to the main character. A secondary audience would be teenage boys going through similar issues as the vulnerable male protagonist. Another secondary audience would be fans of drama genres who appreciate verisimilitude and lesser known films. While the themes are universal, the film's small scale and British rural setting would likely resonate more strongly with a British audience.
Question 5
The document discusses aspects of a film that could attract a young adult audience. It states that casting actresses of similar age to the target audience could make the characters more relatable. Additionally, starting with a powerful or worrying scene could immediately engage young viewers. Choosing unsettling non-diegetic music at the beginning also helps set an ominous tone and hints at future twists.
Who would be your audience for the opening sequence
The opening sequence targets a female audience aged 15 to 21. It focuses on the relatable sub-plot of differences straining a friendship, which will appeal to teenage girls. While the film receives a 15 rating for violence, the opening sequence indicates this through loud screams and a dark forest setting. Its aim is young people who are old enough to not be overly affected by gore but still find it creepy. To attract this target audience, the opening uses teenage actresses and a friendship sub-plot that many girls have experienced. Market research showed 15 to 17-year-olds and 18+ were most likely to watch a horror film, so the target was set at 15 to 21.
Evaluation q 4 5
The target audience for the media product is females aged 15-45 from various socioeconomic classes. This is based on research of romantic film statistics showing the primary viewers are female and ranging from teenagers to adults over 45. The film features a 16-year-old female protagonist and 17-year-old male protagonist to particularly attract teenagers who can relate to the young love story. While mainly targeting females given research showing they prefer romance genres more, it also allows for some male viewers through couples watching or interest in the male gangster character. The film portrays characters from different classes through their costumes, locations, and props to appeal to audiences across socioeconomic backgrounds.
Vertigo films
Vertigo Films is a leading British independent film production and distribution company that has distributed low-budget films since 2002. The document discusses how Vertigo Films distributed the low-budget film Monsters in 2010, which is a relevant example because it also used unknown actors and was set in a natural location with nothing fancy. Due to its focus on low-budget films and status as a British company, the document argues that Vertigo Films would be a suitable distributor for the media producer's opening sequence.
Evaluation activity, q4
This document summarizes the target audience for a media product. It describes a typical 17-year-old audience member who lives in London and enjoys fashion trends, films like Mean Girls and The Bourne Ultimatum, and television shows like Hollyoaks and Friends. The target audience listens to pop, hip hop, and indie music on radio stations like Kiss FM and Radio 1. The document then discusses research showing that teenagers aged 14-18 prefer action films to foreign films. Most of the target audience enjoys thriller films, so the described media product is a realistic thriller that would appeal to this demographic.
Pitch presentation
This document outlines a teen drama film project including key characters, plot outline, and influences. The key characters will be 3 college students ages 17-18 including a geek, glam girl, and rebel. The plot begins with characters at college similarly to The Breakfast Club, then flashes back to reveal secrets before secrets are revealed in the end. The film aims to establish setting, time, characters, and theme in the opening through a montage like The Breakfast Club. Other influences include Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging for its British school setting and films depicting teen relationships like Juno, Submarine, and Mean Girls. The target audience is a 17 year old British college girl who enjoys social media and
Question 4
The document discusses the intended audience for a film called "24 HOURS". The audience is described as being between 13-30 years old of both genders. This age range is targeted because the main character is a teenager, but the story has sophisticated, mature themes that could also appeal to older viewers. Research was conducted through surveys that showed people in the 13-18 age range preferred thrillers and horror films the most. The opening sequence for "24 HOURS" was designed based on this audience research.
Evaluation q5
The document discusses the filmmakers' rationale for giving their film a 15 certificate. They felt a 15 rating was appropriate as other similar thriller films had this rating, and their film's content of death, tension, mild violence and swearing would also fit this category. They aimed to attract a teenage audience as the main character and themes could be relatable to teenagers, addressing aspects of teenage life. They created tension through uncopyrighted creepy music, added heartbeats and sudden blackouts at high tension points. Finally, the filmmakers wanted their small, low-budget film to target a smaller, cult following by distributing through a company that shows similar small films rather than large blockbusters.
Questionnaire results analysis
The document analyzes the results of a questionnaire given to a target audience aged 14-16 that was mostly female. It found that the most preferred genres were thriller and action/adventure. Favored films included scary thrillers like Insidious and funny films like We're the Millers. Most respondents preferred a male lead, live action over animation, and characters that counter typical stereotypes. They also preferred a strong, attractive female lead and a narrative-focused opening depicting death, drugs/alcohol, and using music rather than speech. The results confirm and provide guidance for the creator's initial thriller film ideas while also suggesting some changes to better appeal to this target demographic.
question 3
Universal Studios would be the best media institution to distribute the film because although it is a major studio, it promotes many rom-coms and other genres, giving the low-budget film a chance for widespread attention and views to succeed. Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures were also considered as they have distributed similar romantic comedy films in the past.
Question 1 eval
The document discusses how the opening title sequence for a romantic comedy film challenges some conventions of the genre while still following others:
- It introduces two female main characters rather than a male and female, challenging expectations. However, the sequence still establishes the film as a romantic comedy through other cues.
- Elements like the pinboards showing details about each character's life were inspired by Stepbrothers and help audiences learn about the characters without dialogue.
- The sequence could be initially interpreted as depicting a lesbian relationship rather than a traditional romantic comedy pairing, further challenging expectations.
- Overall it balances challenging conventions with still clearly identifying the film as a romantic comedy through cues like the music and bringing the two main characters

Distriubutors
The document discusses different film distribution options for the filmmaker's movie "Grow Up". Universal is the most well-known but may not be suitable due to the film's lower budget. Sony Pictures distributed the inspirational film Stepbrothers and distributes similar romantic comedies, so it could be a good fit. Independent distributor Momentum Pictures may also work well as it promotes quality films while being smaller and less well-known.

Media evaluation question 4 & 5
The document discusses research conducted to design a media product targeted towards teenage girls ages 13-19. Questionnaires were distributed to this demographic to determine preferences, such as a storyline where a normal girl gets dumped and eats ice cream rather than a popular girl getting dumped. Common romantic comedy conventions like a mid-film breakup were analyzed, but the film features a breakup at the beginning to make it distinctive. The film introduces two average teenage girls to relate to the target audience and features casual clothing. It also aims to engage viewers by starting with a breakup and including casual language they can relate to.

Evaluation 5
- 1. How did you attract/address your audience? Once we had successfully determined who would be our target audience, we started to think about how we would attract this people and make them want to watch our film. We determined our audience from who normally watches romantic comedies and then making sure we had the conventions of rom-coms present in our opening sequence, such as hearts, catchy, light hearted fun music in the background etc. The actors we used, we think will make the audience appeal to our film more. This is because it is very relatable. For example, the characters we used are 17 years old and are both teenagers girls. They are the complete opposite of each other, one is into boys, sex, make up, smoking etc and the other girl is into books, scouts, health, opera etc. This means they are binary opposites. This means that every girl will relate to at least one of these girls or will be in the middle of them so they will have something in common somewhere in the film. This is good for our viewers because our target audience is in this age bracket and will therefore find it interesting to watch if it is similar to their lives. Everyone loves a bit of romance so therefore we know we will get people to watch it, especially young people who are looking for boyfriends/girlfriends rather than the older people who are already married. You immediately know our film is a romantic from the first few seconds. And you also know it is going to be a comedy as you can tell from the ‘good girl’ who people may see as being a nerd.
- 2. We used our props a lot as this was mainly what we were working from. On the pin board for the good girl we put everything that this teenage girl likes, from cigarettes to make up to boyfriends etc. And on the pin board for the bad girl we put stuff from health foods to scouts badges to opera tickets etc. Without props we would have no opening title sequence so this was VERY important, especially as it comes under mise- en-scene. The use of these props immediately makes the viewer know about the girls before even seeing them. We also used special effects, such as green screen, which makes audiences automatically more attracted as they think it is something more interesting and different to the normal rom-com they watch.
