how did you Adrress/attract your audience

In our film we twisted the normal stereotypes that are often associated with black people. The kind of black hooded character that is ready to attack or mug somebody on the street is used in the film. we expect the audience to automatically think that we are going for the stereotypical view and idea that the antagonist is the tall black man, in which eventually it doesn't turn out to be.





These kind of stereo types are often used in different films. one typical film is called one day. This film is a thriller in which the stereotypes of young black male in hoods and violence is lived up to. This stereotype is lived up to through the large use of guns and gang culture.






This film was set in Birmingham and this portrays the stereotypical view on black people with hoods gun and knives. This would be the picture that would have been painted by the audience as we had the chase scene. There was many occasions on which i heard questions like "why are they using such a stereo typical character? when they thought that the guy in the black hood would be the antagonist.

Another way that he addressed the audience was through the case of a young girl walking home from school and getting abducted. This would remind people about several cases in where teenagers have been taken or abducted after walking home from school. For example in the case of Milly dowler in which milly was walking home from school then taken and murderd.

In the synopsis we also talk about the fact that our protagonist is taken to do prostitution. this would be a case of sex trafficing which is also a big case around the world. Which is another issue that we have adressed whitin the film. sexual slavery has often been talked about in the news.

Sexual slavery or forced sexual slavery is the organized coercion of unwilling people into different sexual practices. It is most common in areas such as Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Sexual slavery may include single-owner sexual slavery, ritual slavery sometimes associated with traditional religious practices, slavery for primarily non-sexual purposes where sex is common, or forced prostitution.In general, the nature of slavery means that the slave is de facto available for sexual intercourse, and ordinary social conventions and legal protections that would otherwise constrain an owner's actions are not effective. For example, extramarital sex between a married man and a slave was not considered adultery in most societies that accepted slavery. (taken from the winkipedia link above)

I think the fact that people were talking about twist and the Punch scene was what attracted people to our film. the hype surrounding those two scene was a lot, therefore a high request for the film was high.

Other ways in which the film attracted the audience:

• College scene that everyone can relate to as to the school environment

• Touch upon subjects that may have affected people in one way or the other
• Well know subjects touches upon that everyone is familiar with
• The unexpected break of stereotype
• using people of a certain age group to act in the film
• use of youtube, and faceook to give everyone acess to the film
• made a facebook group so that we can keep the audience updated with our product
