Question 5 Evaluation - How did you attract/address your audience? - Dale Horton

With us choosing our target age we used a teenager as our victim to make the audience able to relate to it. We targeted them well by minimizing gore and making it fast paced as teenagers don't want to watch a film which takes a long time to get into. Our questionnaire showed we reached our target audience as the person who answered the questions agreed with our age which we chose before creation. Also with the person who did the questionnaire in our age group showed that we had met the target audience as they liked the story line and the soundtrack. From this I believe we succeeded in matching our film with the target audience.


We used a teenage actor to match the target audience which caused the film to appeal more to a teenage audience. We also used a creepy sound track which attracts our audience. The way we used mise en scene to target audience was to have the girl in a teenage girls room which matches with the actor and in turn can be related to the audience. In the clip in which the victim is going down the stairs, we shot down her from behind going down the stairs which makes her seem small and in turn follows generic conventions. The Exorcist also shows a young female victim which shows insecurity and fragility.
