target audience

Our target audience is a wide range ageing between 16-30, they would be in a life style of inspirer's and adventures as our genre is action with the a big crime gang. Our audience would have something that they could relate to such as the gang keeping there reputation on crime and thier status up . About 95% of the audience would be men as men tend to love action films, 5% of the audience would be women as there are some women that like action films and other women would just watch it for the good, well toned men. Research shows that, mainly men, aged between 16-30 would like action films as in these ages, stereotypical men like to see realistic fighting in there films, such as the Bourne films.

Tuesdays lesson

During Tusedays lesson in media we learned about two of the five codes from a French man called Roland Barthes, one of these codes is called the Hermeneutic code it is also more commonly known as the Enigma codes, this is techniques that the dierector and producers use to keep the audience hooked in the film. There are four differnt ways they do this:-
1. The Snare- this is where the dierector and the producers deliberate avoidence of the trurth where the audience are falsely lead to an answer.
2.Partial Answers- this is where the audience are given part of ther truth but not all of it.
3. Equivocation- is a mixtutre of the truth and Snare
4. Jamming- Suggesting to the audience that the problem is unsolvable.

the second code is called the Proairetic Code but more commonly known as the Action Code, this is where the character has done something and leaves the audience thinking what would happen because of this.
We then watched four different films opening and then listed what questions the dierector and the producers used in these films.

1st film opening

I have chosen to examine Taken as the begging relates to my film opening as we would also like to begin off with flash backs and slowly show the characters personality by only showing his movements and reactions from certain actions.

As the main character is wrapping up his daughters gift we can easily tell that he’s wrapping it up with precision, we then are shown a close up on his face to show how concentrated he is into wrapping the gift, in this close up we can see that he is single minded as when he sets his mind on something he wont stop till he’s satisfied with the result, this is what we are trying to achieve with our character not that he’s precise but that we can show bit of the characters personality and what type of person they are. We also want to use a flash back just like in Taken at the begging but the flash backs would be in three separate bits then having the man waking up. Again we have the Taken main character waking up in a dark room just like our character will be doing but with a light shining into his face. There isn't many Hermeneutic codes in the beginning of the Taken but there are many later on in the film.
