Justification for your ideas You need to explain how your ideas link to the genre, task and also your
target audience.

Clues follows a conventional thriller crime narrative as there is the presence of action, violence and
danger, which is a huge element of the genre, shown in the tasks Saphire is forced to carry out in order to
find her abducted sister. Our target audience for the film is 16+ because of the nature of the film; violence
and crime, so it is very crucial we take into consideration of what exactly we will have in our trailer, as we
may decide to lower the rating for the short clip only.

Also, we have decided to aim at the female audience because of the emotional family unit and wide
female casting, (women are tend to be emotional than men which is unconventional that gives out film a
unique selling point), the death of their parents and the lead actor being a female. As it involves the law;
police trying to find Saffron and the Map Killer on the loose, it links to our genre which is a hybrid of a
thriller/crime. Usually crime films involve fast paced editing and action which is why we decided crime as
our sub genre.

It also links to our target audience because usually crime thrillers involve family and a form of abuse which
the victim is usually a female. Moreover, the film can be perceived to be an indie because of the nature of
an independent film and it demonstrates a normal everyday life of two girls like the audience which one
day gets tipped upside down. This fits with the genre because of the psychological endeavours however,
in an unconventional way as it starts off on a darker note; they put their parents to rest and are left all by
themselves without anyone having to look after them, but each other.
