The mise-en-scene of my video will appeal to the target audience because it gives

away some of the plot but leaves some areas unknown. As a result my target
audience - who like crime - will be intrigued to continue watching and find out what
happens later on in the opening. The key example of this is the mood board and the
identity of the robber - throughout the opening I dont fully visualise her face or any
details about her personally. The age demographic of my target audience was
something else I had to take into consideration - I had to ensure it was accessible
and wasnt either overly simple or massively complicated. This is because if it was
too difficult - i.e the mood board was too in depth and descriptive - the target
audience may have got bored of it as they may watch movies in order to relax
rather than delve into another world of interrogation.
The simplicity of having 2 characters initially also helped to attract my audience
because they were able to follow them and see the contrast in behaviours. It also
linked in with the crime genre where there is an antagonist character as well as a
protagonist. This will attract the audience, especially to the criminal, as theyll want
to know how it develops and impacts on the plot. Having dimmed lighting also
attracted the audience because it played on the stereotypes of crime films.
My audience feedback revealed that my peers enjoyed it as it encapsulated the
typical themes they had seen in other crime films. They felt that the lighting
arrangement illuminated on the idea of delinquency or illegal events. All of the
aforementioned featured choices led to them want to see the rest. However, the
representation of the news reporter, they said, could have been better if the actress
looked older. Further to this, despite the fact they liked having two characters they
believed it would have been beneficial to have one male and one female but were
not specific as to which would suit the characters best. The decision to include a
voiceover was widely favoured in the audience feedback because they felt like it
gave them an insight into the robbers feeling towards law enforcement as well as
the crimes she was committing.
