Question 5. How Did You Address/Attract Your Audience?

Our media product, being a two minute thriller/horror "She Told Me Too" had various different techniques involved to ensure that we attracted our chosen target audience. Our target audience was very easy to appeal to as we are trying to attract ages 16-25 of both genders. We feel that our opening scene will attract people much over 25 as it is not specifically for young adults.

                                                                                                     

The setting for our film takes place mainly within Demi's house. This is a modern house and has been decorated recently therefore this will attract the younger audience as they will see this house as being expensive and will desire it.  

                                                                                                                                                               The loft was Katie's as there was problems in Demi's. In the video you can see clearly that it is very packed and messy, which most of the older audience will relate to as their's is probably the same. 

 The room where the main character is in the mental institute will attract our audience as whom ever usually watches thriller or horror films will most probably be use to seeing these therefore they will enjoy it.

The props included a fairly minimum but when the two main characters get out of the car, we can see that it is a nice car and people will enjoy seeing this. All ages will desire this car but mainly the younger audience will comment on the car and notice it.

The costumes included in our film attracted our audience as the two main characters wore clothes which are fashionable. This attracts our younger audience as this age (16-25) will be keeping up with the latest trends. Our male character is dressed smartly; trousers, shirt and tie. Whereas our female character is also dressed smartly but more smart casual; skirt and top.

 Other outfits in the film include the nightdress worn in the mental institute, this will attract our audience as it is creepy and reminds you of the mental hospital.

 The sound in our film is very minimal as we thought this would make it more creepy. In the opening sequence we chose a song that we found of someone singing a dolls lullaby. This linked in well with our film as it involves dolls. It attracted our target audience as this made it clear at the very beginning that it was a horror film therefore everyone would become more intrigued as to why we picked that song choice. The use of dialect in the next scene (in the mental hospital) was Demi's voice as she sounded the most grown up. This was made out to be the therapist interviewing the patient. This attracted our audience as this then showed them that something was wrong with this woman, leading it to a thriller/horror.The actors which are included in our film are both attractive and the audience will find them attractive also. Poppy is very little and cute, but also very pretty. This will attract the male audience between 16-25 as it is unclear what age she is. Dave is very manly and attractive therefore this will attract the female audience between 16-25.
