MAIN Post 12.5: Question 5

How did you attract/ address your audience?

In our opening sequence we used a variety of ways to attract an audiences although we wanted our film to be conventional and fit the genre we also tried to add other aspect into our opening sequence create our audience as wide as possible. 

As our opening sequence was a romantic comedy we understood that we had two genres linked into one and we was aware that we needed to fulfill both we did this by showing elements of both genres for example representing the comedy element through our character JENNY falling over and then we displayed the romance element through the use of wording in the text. These elements are represent below.

Displaying elements of romance and comedy.

Representation of our titles.

In our opening sequence Specific titles attract the eye of our audience as they are displayed in creative ways. Also their delivered in motion so the audience can see them appearing. The use of colours will also attract the audience.

In our opening sequence we display a narrative enigma in the scene where JENNY is texting and emailing at the same time this allows the audience to ask the question, wanting to know whats happens with the love interest and whether the boss replies to the email which was meant to be to her love interest.However it could imply that our whole opening sequence is an enigma as the audience are waiting for what JENNY does next. The Audience get intrigued when JENNY is rushing around its suggest she has to be somewhere and the audience will probably guess she going to work.However, the audience will understand that she is running late and will want to know what happens whether she gets into trouble or makes it on time.

This screen grab shows JENNY replying to her boss rather that her love interest.

To receive feedback from others we went around school and found three girls who fitted the target audience. Displaying their age of 16-17 which was the youngest age band of our target audience. We asked them various questions.Also whilst editing we asked other students who were around at the time to view are project one was 18 and because we wanted a boys perceptive we asked a boy of 19 to view it. 

From looking on the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) it apparent that the guidelines lead our film to be viewed at a 12a. This is resulted to the swearing , as its moderated swearing it would not be suitable for children under the age of 12, unless they were accompanied by an adult in cinema release situations. However our film would not be any higher than a 12a because it doesn't contain violence or scene from a sexual nature or no drugs and horror scenes however, these aspect would not fit our genre, so would not be expected to place them in our film.If this occurred then we would be miss leading our audience.
