The document summarizes how the filmmakers attracted and addressed their target youth audience. They used characters like young males involved with drugs, music, and fashion that youth would identify with. A young attractive female interested in music would appeal to both male and female viewers. The plot about gang life, music, romance, and teenage problems mirrors typical experiences for the target age group. The urban and suburban school and music studio locations also aim to resonate with teenage audiences. Special effects like blurred scenes intrigue viewers and foreshadow future disruption in the film.

1. Question 5
HOW DID YOU ATTRACT/ ADDRESS
YOUR AUDIENCE?

2. Characters
We have addressed our audience by using
actors which would appeal to the audience of
a youth culture film. We used young males
handling drugs, dressed in tracksuits and who
love music to attract the young male audience
as these things are a common representations
within this target audience. We used a young
attractive female who is presentable and
dressed nicely, with an interest in music which
would attract both males (through attraction
and shared interests) and females (being able

3. Plot
We also used the plot to attract both a male
and female audience. The plot involves gang
life, music, romance and problems which are
all common factors of typical
youth/teenagers life so its becomes
appealing to them. The outcome hasn’t been
made obvious to the audience which makes
them more eager to watch on and discover
what happens.

4. Location
The location of our film also helps to attract
our audience as it is set in a school, most
people within our target audience
(teenagers) can relate to this because they
go to school or have done so recently. The
music studio will also help to attract our
target audience especially those who also
have a passion for music. The location has
an urban feel to it, this is reflected by Ali's
character, however it also has a suburban
feel to it because of my character (Flo).

5. Special effects
Lastly the special effects help to attract our
audience as they make the view of the
young males life distorted which makes the
audience want to find out more about him so
will want to carry on watching the film. The
blur also foreshadows possible disruption
later on in the film.
