How did you attract/address your audience?

We came up with many things that would attract our target audience of young people aged 17-19 to watch our film, one of these is we included young people to act in the film, this makes the audience relate to the film more because everything that character does would be an act on how themselves act. Also the costumes, I made our character wear very casual clothing that would be seen as cool at this moment in time, our audience will be able to relate to this character more than if it was a 70 year old man. I feel it's crucial to try and get your audience engaged and feel they relate to the characters.

We also made the titles of the film look very modern to keep the audience engaged when they watch it, this is good because if they seen a dull 'outdated' introduction title they probably wouldnt want to watch it anymore, so I done the best I could to make it look modern and also 'cool'.

I also showed the film to a class full of students within my age group and they watched it a few times, taking notes and then they gave back what they thought worked well and what could be improved. I done this before the deadline so that I could choose things out of the criticism that I could change in order to make it better.

Here is a screenshot of the promo, this is what is shown after the menu screen and just before the introduction titles, this will attract the audience because it's quite bright and the sound also is like an explosion, this will attract teens because its loud and catches the eye and is far from dull so this should tempt them to carry on watching.
