Question 5 - addressing target audience

We planned our film to fit in with the target audience of males 18-29 by making sure that it fitted in with the conventional things that were in the slasher films that our group watched. We also fit in with the target audience by using characters that are around the same age group as them, this is also one of the things that makes it fit in with the conventions of a slasher film, as well as the female being the victim and the male being the threat.
The props and location used also fit in with the conventions of the genre as the threat has a weapon and is masked and the location is a normal, everyday place.

So the main thing that we have done to address the target audience is stick to the conventional things that go with our genre of film.

We showed our opening to some of the other students in our class in order to get feedback on whether they liked the film or not, as they are around the same age group that our target audience is. The majority of the feedback was positive, with the main criticism being that we needed more shot types and to sort out a few parts that jump. But the feedback also told us that the majority of the students felt that our opening fitted in well with our genre.
