Our final product:
Attracting the audience: The audience for our film is young adult males - stereotypically enjoyers of a range of humour, the desire for women, and action elements. So for this teen-comedy, we decided to get straight into the plot in the opening 2 minutes. The voice-overs are supposed to introduce the characters a little bit - get the audience engaged in relating to one or more of them, or laughing at their personalities. We included the beginning to the encounter with two 'smokers' (which will be concluded later on in the plot, after the film goes back into the past) as an incouraging element to what passes for action with the nerd superheroes. The cast is all teenagers - a young cast makes it easier for the young target audience to relate too. To entertain is the main purpose of film - and if we fail to engage the audience in the opening 2 minutes, then the viewers are unlikely to fully engage in the film and stop watching it.
