R+P Post 5: How we plan to attract/address our target audience

We found inspiration for our central character in our film to suit the action-thriller genre skewed to boys of 15-24 years old from the character Alex Rider from the film Stormbreaker. Just like Alex Rider our character is a young adult, who is tech savvy and competent in fighting situations. This would make the character relatable to the target audience of our genre, and the short conflict scene he's involved in at the end of the title sequence will also gain this tense atmosphere our target audience would be looking for from the action-thriller genre.


To suit our cyber-security thriller genre, we have included much reference to technology throughout the title sequence with use of an electronic glitch soundtrack with shots of computer coding and USB slots to show he is a hacker. The inspiration behind the font use and the tense black frame when showing the titles came from the show Mr Robot, for this would connote a techy vibe that would attract fans of this genre that we are trying to appeal to from our chosen genre.
