Target Audience

I have been looking into who I feel our target audience will be regarding our opening scene of a murder mystery film. I think the social group we will be targetting is late teenagers and young adults. This is simply because, I think younger children may find the concept confusing and perhaps freightning and in contrast to this, adults in their late 20s - early 30s may want something more spooky, constantly keeping you on the edge of your seat, alternatviely, they may feel it is slightly too young for them. This said, I think the age is more ranged than the specific target audience... Children can be surprising and grow up quick in their film choice and older adults can still want to see films aimed at a younger audience.

Also I have briefly looked into characters, props, location scouting, scripting and the choice of camera shots and durations. Notes on some of these aspects have been included in our final storyboard which will be scanned in at a later date. We have chosen who will be our characters, based on looks similar to what we picture with the characters trates. We then chose locations where we will film which we feel will be right. We didn't really feel it was necessary to go into massive detail and decision making with our locations as with what we are doing in each scene, where it is located won't have much impact on the viewers opinion of the scene.
