Target Audience
Demographics
This is the sorting of people based on their age, gender and social class. •
- This consists of class A/B/C1 who are professional and non-manual workers like lawyers, teachers and office workers.
- Classes C2/D/E are manual workers, unskilled workers and unemployed like maintenance engineers, post office workers and students.
Psychographics
This is a more personal way of looking at an audience by see what people are like. There are 7 generalised groups to put people into. These groups are:
•
- Mainstreamers – the most common group and tend to want security and often have families to care for.
- Aspirers – the people in this group are goal seekers and often are young more entrepreneurial people.
- Succeeders – these are people to like to be in control and be prestigious in what they do, they tend to be more upper class people.
- Reformers – these people like to look at things from a different point of view and can be from nearly any way of life.
- Strugglers – people in this category tend to lack money and drive as they spend all the money they have and can’t ever seem to find what they are looking for.
- Resigned – these people are older people who no longer need to work and are free to spend time doing what they like.
- Explorers – these are adventurous people who are not afraid to try new things and love getting involved with both new and old thing they may not have done before. Again these people tend to be younger as they have less family to care for and support.
Comparing to other films
•I have compared my film to pacific rim as it has science fiction ideas in it like the box which appears to teleport the boys to an unknown location.
•I have also compared my film to man of steel as my film will contain super powers and magic often shown in fantasy, but still fairly realistic.
My Target Audience
•I have made a table using the two films I compared my film to show a rough idea of the audience figures I hope to get.

The purpose of a film opening – Batman: The Dark Knight
Thriller
openings are meant to create enigma's so that the viewer wants to continue
watching so they can see what happens. Batman: The Dark Knight creates
many enigma's in the opening scene which makes the others want to keep watching.
Thrillers also have something happen that is realistic and sometimes action
packed with a glimpse of the storyline.
The Dark Knight starts with an establishing shot of
zooming through a city towards a building. We know that something is about to
happen by the lack of sound in the clip. A window smashes and there is a cut to
an over the shoulder, two shot of unidentified men in clown masks with a
harpoon gun. Throughout the shots we only hear diagetic ambient sounds made by
the smashing glass and the firing of the harpoon gun. This shows us that they
are well prepared for the job they are doing and that the need to be secretive.
The clown masks that we see here create the question of whom they are and why
they are wearing clown masks. We also see another man with a clown mask
standing in the street. The camera slowly zooms towards the mask to make sure
we noticed this and make us keep asking ourselves who they are, what they are
doing and why they are wearing clown the masks.
Dialogue in a clip of three clown masked men in a car
and two on the roof we get told about The Joker and about a split between money
they are going to make. Through the camera shot and the dialogue we can tell
they are middle-aged men and that they don't quite know who The Joker is but
they are doing something he has planned which will gain them lots of money. By
now we realise from the large cash income opportunity they are talking about
and the masks to hide their faces that they are probably about to commit an
organised crime.
In the next few cuts we see that they are robbing a
bank and a slow zoom of a man, unseen to the robbers, who, by the way he looks,
seems to be high-class and has quite a high job status at the bank. The
cut between the bank floor scene and the roof scene shows us they are
happening simultaneously. The roof scene and then confuses us when one of the
men kills the other after he has done his job. This makes us wonder why they
would kill each other and if it is part of a different plan or if something has
just gone wrong. On the floor instead of tying them up we can see close-ups of
a robber, still masked, making the hostages hold bombs. This seems like a
weird, expensive and unpredictable way of stopping people from doing anything
as anyone could let go and destroy part of the bank ruining the heist in the
progress.
There is a short part of the scene where the bank fight
back against the threats it is faced with. A long shot shows us the high-class
man shoot one of the masked bank robbers through some glass with a shot gun. At
the same time as this the man trying to break into the vault is electrocuted by
default security measures. Back in the bank lobby area a tracking shot follows
a robber as he runs, ducking for cover, to where another robber is hiding.
Later in the scene one of the robbers asks another
robber what happened to the hacker. The robber replies by saying The Joker told
him to kill him before getting killed himself by the robber. This tells us that
each robber has only been told what they are doing and to kill each man after
their job has been completed so that they can gain more money for themselves.
This opening scene creates many enigmas, a few that it
answers later in the scene. Most of the puzzles remain unsolved, like who is
The Joker and why the robbers were made to kill each other only to get killed
themselves. This is the job of the opening scene and makes us want to watch so
we know what will happen and why what happened did happen.
