Q5. How did you attract/address your audience?

We think that the aspects of our film do appeal to the target audience because we focus on someone the conventional. In the vlog part of the movie we wanted to make sure that the bedroom looked like a teenagers bedroom. We had books in the shelf to show that she was still in school and that she is young. We also had photos in the background to show that she has a family that she cares about and whom she loves.

We had 3 actors; Ana who was the girlfriend of the other actor which was the boyfriend played by Corey Mylchreest who was around Ana's age. Then we had the Driver who was played by Nathaly Martinez and we wanted to portray her as a young adult so we had her wear a blazer and in dark clothing and driving. The story line is very intriguing for our audience. The genre again is interesting for our audience because it isn't a very funny movie but more thoughtful and intense than most teen films.The location was chosen because it was the only location where we would be able to use a car so it was easier to do it there than anywhere else. This would appeal to our target audience because a lot of the teens watching the movie would relate to the idea of driving a car but being scared that they might run over someone.

The rough cut feedback did give us a lot of criticism but we took that criticism and made our movie much better because of it. There was only one scene that we couldn't recreate because of the car not being available nor the actors so we had to work with what we had. It definitely help and it opened our eyes to the little details that can make parts of the opening much better such as lighting and camerawork.

As you can see we have have reached our audience by different forms of media such as; Facebook events, tabloid article, YouTube etc. These are just a few of the media ways that we could reach our audience by thinking what they do most such as going on YouTube, watching TV or just roaming the internet.
