MAIN Post 12.5: Question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?

In our opening sequence we used a range of ways of attracting audiences so we could try and attract a wider audience as possible. The whole of the opening sequence is an enigma as the audience will probably wonder where she is heading to and they will probably guess that she is running late so will want to find out whether she gets in trouble or what she is going to be late for.
This screen shot shows her running down the street, showing that she is obviously in a hurry to get to where she is going.



















Another way we attracted our audiences was by the way we created our titles. For example we used a bangle to show the title L.O.V.E and we wrote the directors name on a piece of paper and put it in with the post the character ruffles through. We also used fridge magnets to write out another name.
This screenshot shows this.

To get an audience feedback on our opening sequence, we gathered 3 girls from the sixth form, they were all 16 and 17 years old, which was the lower end of our target audience. They all seemed to enjoy our opening sequence and I think they would have enjoyed to see the whole film.

From looking on the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) website and reading through their guidelines I would say that our film would probably be a 12A. I think this because we only have moderate language as she does swear at one point in the opening sequence. It has no sexual scenes, no horror, no drugs, no nudity, no violence, no drugs and no imitable behaviour. This rating would help attract our audience as they would know that it is a young and calm romantic comedy and and they will know that they can enjoy watching it, especially as older people watching like 20 year olds would know it would be alright to watch as it is a 12A.
