WHAT WAYS ARE WE GOING ABOUT ATTRACTING OUR TARGET AUDIENCE TO COME AND SEE THIS FILM?
We have also found that people are more likely to look at something online if it is a video or picture rather than a normal post. So we may think about including a very short teaser clip for people to view. We also need to make this stand out from all the others so people are attracted to it. We could also put pictures of the characters and setting up and give an overview about them so our target audience wants to know what happens to them in the film.
We will also attempt to attract the target audience throughout the film as well. Our characters, setting and outfits are all able to be related to by our target audience. This means that they can put themselves in the characters position, making them feel the emotion and environment around them. This should be able to attract target audience and make them want to watch more.

The location we are using for our opening two minute of a film is Voewood. Voewood is a very large country house. It’s an arts deco house that is filled with bizarre objects. This made it perfect for filming our movie in because it came across as eccentric which suited the character mike played. We also chose this location as Evie’s mum works at the house and was able to give us the connections to be able to use the house for our film opening.
Evie: Hi, I’m Evie I’m the journalist who’s come to look round for BBC reports
Evie: So, is there much you can say about Voewood?
Mike: Bugger all, actually?
Herbie: *Aeroplane noise*
Evie: So how many of you are there that live here?
Mike: Just the two of us.
Evie: So what was one of Voewood’s purposes?
Mike: It was a school for a long time.
Evie: Why is it no longer a school?
Mike: There was an incident that meant it got closed down.
Evie: Why? Sorry, if you don’t mind me asking.
Mike: A young lad died here.
Evie: Oh and what’s it used for now?
Mike: It’s just my home.
Evie: Just you and… you’re son?
Mike: My nephew, yes, just the two of us.
Evie: So what’s your name?
Mike: His names Jack, he doesn’t talk much.
Evie: Oh so what’s in here?
Mike: Nobodies allowed in here.
Evie Holness - the journalist
Michael Holness - the house owner
Herbie Holness - the young boy
We chose Evie to be the journalist in our film opening because she is related to Mike and Herbie and therefore they all worked well together. It was also convenient to use Evie because she would be coming to Voewood anyway and therefore we would not have had tp provide transport for anyone else. Evie worked well as the character because she’s very confident and is able to adapt her personality well to fit the character.
We chose Michael to be the house owner partly for convenience because of the situation with the location availability. Another reason we chose Mike for this role is because he has done acting before so was easily able to fit the character he was given.
We chose Herbie to be the young boy (Mikes nephew) because he again has a lot of experience in acting and he was played the main character in our practice video and we were really happy with his performance and the outcome so we wanted to involve him in this too.
