How did you attract/address your audience?

I attracted my audience by my storyline being a little bit similar to ‘Kidulthood', it appeals to the younger generation who have probably gone through this experience in the 21st century so they would relate to the happenings in our film opening. By slowly letting the audience take in our film opening, the murder scene grabs their attention and they then want to see more as our audience love the tension building plots.

We attracted our audience by making sure we stuck to the conventions our audience would be expecting like Levi-Strauss’ theory of binary opposites this is hero vs villain, good vs evil, and in our film opening (Victim vs Murderer. By watching the murder scene this attracts our audience because they get excited for the action scenes that they know will be definitely intense. Our audience are intelligent and like to be challenged when watching a film

How we also attracted our audience was by hybridizing the thriller genre and the social realism genre. This meant that we could appeal to both audiences. We had attracted the Social realism audience by our background of the estate and how certain shots such as the scene when the boy is running down the stairs this is done by a POV shot, also the girl/boy relationship relates to our audience as it is something they have been through, Knife crime is quite common in our target audience and because they are aware of it they would be more interested in our film opening.

Our audience could also be friends and family and we would attract them by informing them that they would be interested to see the work we have produced. It honestly depends on the actors & actresses as if they are famous, people are more likely to go seen them. Also friends and family have been interested in watching my film opening because they have watched me work hard and constantly gain feedback from others who have watched my film opening and improved it because they as the audience know what they want from a film opening in the 'Thriller genre’.

Our Title 'The Beckoning' refers to death calling the murdered male character and the character warning the

female character of the circumstances. Our title is suspicious, distressing and rather makes you feel jumpy. Our film opening is similar to TV programs that include

social realism such as 'One night' on BBC1 or 'Top boy' on Channel 4. My film is similar to both these TV series so

our audiences are probably into watching both our shows. The films this Demographic are probably going to watch

usually have a Protagonist and Antagonist. Which my film also has.
