How did you attract/address your audience? - Evaluation

5) How did you attract/address your audience?

The actor in our film is a 17 year old male, and so we thought that males aged 12-15 would find him relatable but would see Chris as a authoritative figure, and so they would feel the tension when he dies, rather than finding the situation funny as if it was someone so relatable that it could be one of their friends. Since our research shown that our audience have generally a short attention span, we used cutaways to keep the action fast paced and the time between cuts short. This ensures that the audience remain attentive towards the film, rather than not really paying attention. 

There is some off-screen violence which keeps the age rating down and makes the opening having an almost superficial cliffhanger, where the audience have to imagine what happened rather than having it explained to them.
