Target Audience
The audience were are targeting our
film towards are Old Age Pensioners.
As our film is Science fiction, we
struggled to come up with a story line
for out film that would attract the old
aged pensioners. After a lot of thought,
we recognized that the film would
engage elder people more if we
embedded a message into it, hence the
moral being the past is the past and
everything happens for a reason,
everything that has happened in your
life makes you the person you are
today.
