Target Audience: Demographic profile

Target audience: Demographic profile

 

The age of our target audience spans from teenagers 15 all the way to 30. The reason why we have ranged our thriller from 15 all the way to 30 is because we feel this is the best age range for aiming a film of the thriller genre at as people at 15 are young and enjoy thrillers for their action and so do people all the way up to 30. We have target our thriller more towards the male gender and the reason for this is because we feel that this is the gender who takes most interest in the thriller genre and the reason for this is due to its violence and fast paced action which doesn’t always appeal to the female gender. We have aimed our thriller at a working class background for people who lead normal lives neither over extravagant nor extremely deprived. The reason why we have done this is because we feel this is where the audience for thrillers is mostly found and they will also be the people who also have enough money and free time to go to the cinema and watch films.  We think that the majority of people within our target audience won’t have a family e.g. have kids but however be single or in some form of relationship and this is due to the fact that the majority of our target audience is within the younger generation. The interests that my target market will have will include things such as watching TV and film and also enjoying being able to simply sit and relax watching a film at the cinema for example. They will also like to socialise with their friends and spend time in a number of places socialising with friends in places such as restaurants the pub and at their friends’ houses.

The demographic groups which I would say fit my target audience best would be C2, D and E but however not all of group E as I feel that our thriller wouldn’t reach out to or appeal to pensioners for example. The reason why I feel that our thriller would reach out to these groups is due to the fact that these groups reach out to students which are a large part of our target audience. On top of this these types of people located within these groups are the working class people we are aiming or thriller at and at the same time work jobs which end at around 5 in the evening and also give them free weekends giving them time in the evening and at the weekend to have leisure time to do whatever they want such as go to the cinema for example and relax by watching a film.

Storyboard

For our shot list we have done a few simple shots to guide us so we can create more shots within the shot that we have drawn.

For our first shot we have decided to show our ident to start it all off which will fade into the start of our production.

Our first shot would be of a plain blunt match with super imposed text of who the assosiation is, which we chose would be DMLN Productions which will then jump cut to the match being lit where the music would kick in after the sound of the strike to lite it.

As we follow the match using a close up shot all the way another super imposed title will appear of the director of the film which follows to the next shot below as we use the match to move over the gun so we see the object in only the light that the match provides for us to make it more mysterious where another credit will be featured. for example who did the sound which would say 'Dario Hart'.

As it comes into shot five it will be a close up of the gun more featuring another credit which then zooms out to find the gun with more matches and a match box which will then pan down to underneath the desk to show more props which will have our main title featured with it.

We will then use a shot explaining what redemption is so our audience can get an insight onto more why the film would be called this by watching our opening as well as to give more effect. This then is followed by a shot of the Maserati Grand Turismo which will be a close up. However we added more of an idea before it of our spy with his back to us walking towards the car putting his jacket on so it shows loaction as well as keeping his identitiy hidden.The car will also be in the background of this. More close up will flash one after the other of bits of the car such as the back of the car, exhaust etc.

It will then straight cut to the wheel of the car to the keys being turned then back to the wheel of it moving which willthen fade slowly to a close up of the frontof the car panning across showing us the logo of the car and the grill itsself with added close ups as it moves.

This will then be followed by a panof the car and then aclose up in the car of the driver opening his door which will then jump cut to a close of seeing the mans foot coming out the car but will only focus on his foot as his identity will not be given away during this.

We then want a shot of the boot opening looking from the inside and out which will thn straight cut to the spys view of his equipment within the boot as we see his rifle in the back which he will then grab that will cut to a shot back to being inside the boot looking up at the spy holding the gun whih will then get closed to a black screen.

From the black screen we then see an establishing shot of where the victim and spy will be located. then a shot of our spy carrying his gun throough the woods. After this we will then have more close up of the location as well as now to our victim who is doing something in the woods.

We then see the the spy setting up his gun with amo preparing to shoot and aim at his victim within the bushes and trees where the victim will not see him which will then cut to our camera focusinginto the victim like your do when looking through the gun to focus on the target still keeping the identity of the spy hidden from our audience.  This will now cut to close ups of the gun in his hands and back to the close ups of the victim.
Our next shot idea was hearing the gun and seeing the victim fall to floor with another shot of the smoke coming from the gun after its been shot.

Our final shot idea is to have the smoke travel past our shot with the victim in the background on the floor to end our opening.

Lighting

Lighting:

To start off the sequence the light will be produced from a single matchstick which only gives out a small wash of warm light, creating an enigma as to what lies in the darkness outside of the light. It slowly moves around the room where we can see different props associated with the production, lighting them up one by one. The shot moves onto the woods where we will use the natural lighting in the environment to create the impression of the production being realistic and unedited. Our intention through using the matchstick is to create mystery through identity as the light isn't strong enough to show the distinguishable features of he character. It is also quite sinister as it creates long, dark shadows and can cause pain, this keeps the audience on edge and wanting to find out more. The natural lighting as it creates naturally dappled shadows through the leaves which connotes mystery and being hidden. It also leads to a good quality image depending on the weather conditions.
