the film is a teenager and audiences tend to
enjoy being able to relate to the characters.

characters will appeal to our target
audience and draw them to our film.
• Aspects like the blog in our opening
sequence, helps attract our target
audience as this is something many
young people use and are familiar with.

• The fast pace action in the film wont appeal to someone
of an older generation who is not as active as a younger
person.

• This is because our film idea is appealing to both genders
as our character is not based on specific stereotypes of a
gender.

relate to our character, especially with horrors and
thrillers.

they’d be able to relate to it more.

doesn’t take away from it’s excitement.

to those who are adventurous which is our target
audience.

find out more as only pieces of information are revealed in
the opening sequence through the character’s blog.

up tension for the audience. E.g. Hand-held camera to real camera.

tension which lead up to the climax at the end.
