Target Audience

We decided to do our film based on a crime scene. Therefore it fits into the genre of crime/mystery. Our main target Audience was aimed at 12+. Our film is classified as a certificate 12 as it does contain infrequent scary scenes, sustained moderate threat. This type of film is suitable for the likings of both genders, as everyone prefers this genre. Audiences of both genders would be interested in this film as the music choice is suitable; there are good shot types and the characters. The location was a difficult choice to think about as we had researched on other films and seen many scary scenes are located in a building. Hence why, we have chosen that our film should be located in the interior of the building.

Moreover when researching on audiences age we had looked at the age groups that are set for films. Firstly, based on the genre of our film we needed to know what is acceptable for each groups therefore we looked at;

PG – “Parental Guidance – these types of film should only be suitable for children that are aged eight or above. (I think our film isn’t really suitable for eight years old as it does contain scary scenes)

This is only suitable for 12 years and over. It does contain disturbing scenes. Those who are younger than 12, they are only allowed to see 12a film is they are accompanied by an Adult. (I think ‘12A’ film is suitable to our genre of our film as it does contain scary scenes)

15 – Anyone under 15 years are not allowed to see ‘15’ film in cinema

Costumes

When looking for costumes Frankie and I had thought about the types of characters we wanted. Based on the genre of our film, a mystery/thriller, the costumes have to match the genre. Therefore it was essential to consider the type of outfit needed for each of the characters in the film. After knowing what type of characters we were looking for, we then searched on images from the search engine, Google. We also looked through magazines as an extent research for costumes.

We also decided to create a costume section on the mood board, where all our ideas were displayed and well planned out. Also when planning we considered costumes on both gender as it wasn’t confirmed on who would get the role. Hence why, the costume section includes the female hair designs, top and jeans. However our final planning included all males as shown below;
Antagonists – black suit
This outfit doesn’t give out their characteristics. The black suit keeps their identity hidden. It gives the audience no insight of what this person maybe. Therefore I think their outfits matched with the genre – mystery/thriller as the film left the two men mysterious.
Two detectives –Black cost & trousers
We decided to dress them in black although they were quite similar to the two bad men. It was quite difficult to think about the detectives, as they were also the main characters. But on the other hand, the characters outfit made then look professional and the film more serious.
Ordinary boy – Normal top and jeans
We didn’t want the audience to judge the character and bring first impressions of his image; therefore the film made his image bring out his identity as normal and dressed him in a simple outfit. We wanted him to dress ordinary because when action is taken place in the film, the audiences cannot understand why the boy had been kidnapped until the end therefore the film is playing the genre (mystery).
Also to make sure that we had the right idea of costumes, Frankie and I did extent research on mystery/thriller films. To give us an idea of what type of costumes are used, these are the lists of films that we looked at,
- Bad boys
- Men in black
- Se7en
- Sin city
- Gran Torino
- Hancock
