Part 6-How did you attract/address your audience?

I consider that my group and I have reached our target audience because when we presented our treatment to our Media class a few classed our film as a ‘potential hit’ and they also believe it would be ‘funny to watch’. This feedback was very positive and it was what we needed because if a class of 16-18 year olds like our idea it is very promising for our film. When planning our production we believed that the music would appeal to our audience as we initially wanted an Indie band called ‘Give Me The Sun’ to record a version of The Jets- ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’ and this idea proved successful as from our audience feedback some stated that they ‘love Give Me The Sun’. We thought the music would appeal to them because it is upbeat and fun and that is the kind of music that teenagers enjoy and listen to nowadays. Also, I believe that our audience will relate to the type of characters we have featured in our film because there are ‘geeks’, ‘popular kids’ and ‘bitchy girls’ and these type of people are usually in most schools. Also, the characters in our film are between the ages of 16-18 years so our audience will be able to relate with them as they are likely to share the same day to day experiences, for example in school. Our audience also liked the fact that we showed the pictures of the characters and how they faded from one to another in our sequence. The part of our treatment that was the least successful according to the audience feedback was how our opening title sequence worked as some people said that they did not comprehend how our opening title sequence would ‘go from being in the present to going in the past’. So the work was improved by us ensuring that the title seems does not seem confusing and this it is understood well.
