Title Sequence Coursework - Evaluation(6)

Evaluation Part 6 - How did you attract your audience?
The target audience for the film was men aged 18 - 40, and girls aged 15 - 25, but over all 15 - 40 year olds.
I think I have reached the target audience that we were aiming for because our title sequence has codes and conventions of an Action Thriller film, which 15 to 40 year olds would be interested in.
When we were creating the title sequence, I kept in mind the target audience and ensured I was thinking about them when adding in features. I was thinking about what they would like to see and what would they want the title sequence to look like. I was able to use myself as a reference as I fall under the age bracket of the title sequence. As I am sixteen, I included iconography I would like to watch in an Action Thriller film.
I think we attacked the male audience with the codes and conventions we used to convey action and violence. The different guns that were shown in the title sequence conveyed the action side of the film and showed the violence that would happen. The female gaze theory would have also engaged men as they would be attracted to the women in the title sequence, as they are sexualised with them wearing make up and black clothing, which can sometimes be promiscuous.
The violence and sexual content in the film is why I set the age rating as 15. This is not shown in the title sequence but would have been in the film, if made. If we made the age rating 18, then we would be cutting out most of out target audience, which would make the film less successful.
