Audience theory

To make an opening sequence successful depends almost entirely on audience reaction. So the audience can make or break any production. So this is why this is a key area to target, so we can identify our audience for our own film. The social status that the audience comes from is important; I feel that the piece we are creating can be aimed at middle to lower class, C to D demographics. Due to it reality and drama which tend to attract more of this class also due to the genre of thriller and the twist with the media convention, a female stalker. To further the demographic I feel that the groups would also be Explorers group whom wish to view things in new a strange ways, who seek to escape; these are normally young people that are students. Either that or the minority of reformer audiences, who wish to make there own independent judgement, that have little majority. The reason for this is our productions is a small and independent and would not get viewing from majority consumer groups, our plot has locations that are small and would not appeal to the mainstreamers.
