5. How did you attract/ address your audience?

Tall buildings, cars charging through the streets, different types of people walking, talking, shopping. A lonely boy sat on a cold bench with vast emptiness surrounding him. The news of the day is the only thing to keep him from reminding him of his past, of his loss, of his love…

This is how we grab the viewer’s attention in the opening of our first scenes in our film. The audience for our film is females ages 12-30 with the certificate of 12A; even though it’s a large range 12 year olds will love this new modern chick flick and so it will become a classic and older women will still love and watch it. It also appeals to the younger generations of girls because we have an attractive male main character that they can feel sorry for, as he’s lost his first love and thinks it’s the end of the world. Many teenage girls go through bad break ups and get upset and down about them so even though our character is male they can relate to him and see how he gets over his loss or just stays captured in his depression.

The music we have playing in our opening sequence has a vintage feel to it and yet it still sounds contemporary. This will make the viewers’ ears tune into it and yet still make them involved in the action that is taken place on the screen. The parallel music helps enforce the sadness and loneliness the boy is feeling.
