Trailer target audience

 

Ideally my target audience would be those aged 16-30. Gender does not matter as I am targeting both female and males. Hobbies that my target audience most likely would do is play either computer games that involve action or watch TV series like CSI or NCIS. This is because they fit the criteria with my film synopsis that involves  mystery and solving crimes with action involved within in.

Ideally these are the characteristics that my target audience would have.

Green Screen - Rating

Through research and analyzing film trailers I had found that majority of them had used a green screen to show the audience the age rating for the film prior to the trailer starting. This gave me an idea to create my own but similar to the originals to put into my own trailer. I didn't want to use the same ones that other institutions have used because I needed to make it specific to my target audience. It wasn't too difficult to make and I used PowerPoint as the software for the creation. Below I have uploaded an original of the green screen and then my own.

Research into film companies

Having researched and learnt about the process of making a film, I thought it was just as important to look into successful film companies to gain an understanding on how they became successful, and how they catered to their target audiences.  The following production companies I have listed could potentially be my influence towards my film company logo.

20th Century Fox:

Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation is an American film studio, distributor and one of the six major American film studios.

It was founded in 1935 and it's headquarters are in Los Angeles in the United States.

They are seen to have been a very successful company and have gone to make many films such as Home Alone, X-men and Night of the museum which can be seen as childhood favourites and still would be watched by members of the public today even though these films were released many years ago.

Universal Studios:

Universal Studios Inc. is an American film studio, owned by Comcast and is one of the six major American film studios like Twentieth Century Fox.

It was founded in 1912 and it's revenue in 2011 was $4.3 billion, with its CEO being Ronald Meyer.

Universal studios just like Twentieth Century Fox are seen to be successful companies due to the films they have created. Such as the Fast and Furious franchise that was so wanted by the public that they ended up created 7 of the films within that franchise.
