Georgina's Research 

Our Target audience was from 18+, we believe our film will appeal to an older audience as it deals with real life situations that a older person could assosiate with, for example alchol, death and trumer these are all issuse within our film and an older audience could simthasis with the main character, where as a younger audience treat alchol as fun and exciting, and don't realise the damerging long term effect it has, and also the need to drink to 'solve problems'. Our film is low budget, so we havn't tryed to appeal to a mainstream audience with to much specail effect and over the top action or horror. We have kept it suttle and tryed to create a close connection with the audience and our main character the 'Detective'. This is why the opening is so important to a film because within the opening two to three minutes it outline the Directors style and set up the expectations of those watching.
Within the first 40 seconds of our opening, we are inroduced to the main character the 'Detective', which would targer a female audience as he is a powerful man figure, and they would emthasize with his loss and suffering and want to comfort him. The opening music creates a unsettling atmosphere, which suggests that it is a psychological Thriller. This contrasts to an action, which would mainly target a male audience. The 'Detective' would attract a male audience as the men could relate to this character turning to drink to solve his problems, rather than seeking medical help, as some men feels this 'makes them less of a man'. Also In the last few seconds of the opening sequence we see the main character driving away in a 'Nissan 370z'

which would appeal to the male audience, and also the females as it makes him more appealing as he has a good job, and exspensive belongings. In the opening we see 'Flashback/Dream' of shocking images taking place, which give the opening interst, and the audience will be emotionally attach to this character wanting to find out what happened to the young boy.
