How did you attract/address your audience?

I think the main audience for our film opening would be starting from ages 15 and upwards the reason being that they would have the maturity and knowledge to appreciate the film contents. We tried to address the audience by making the opening as relatable as possible. These included things like colour grading. The reason why we colour graded was because we pictured somebody living with this illness going through depression, therefore we imagined life through their eyes being dull and lifeless. We also adapted to the modern day society by setting the film in a 'newish' big house. From setting it in a new house we thought it would make a direct address to people as they would ackoledge that the illness is still happening and is not a thing of the past. With the Mise-en-scene we didn't want to make it clear that the film was set in England therefore we didn't feature any branded clothing for 'The Agoraphobic's' costumes or in fact have the actor speaking at all, by doing this we thought that if it went global it would attract more viewers as they wouldn't feel excluded in whats happening.
To help us out in what the audience would look for in a thriller we did a survey asking them question and what factors they think are the most important thing to study and how something can be addressed to them. from research they said that to address a wider audience you shouldn't specify in one specific gender.
