We decided that 15 + would be the target audience for our media product. In my opinion it is aimed at the right age group as the features and conventions of the product is a reflection upon the target audience’s feedback, this was to ensure the audience and ourselves that we would be able to keep the viewer interested.
The feedback suggests that the audience would prefer to be introduced to the characters through enigmatic shots. Therefore we have featured many shots of the antagonist Stanley in a mysterious way.
- In the laboratory, we are shown the back of him.
- In the car, through the rear view mirror, we can only see his eyes.
- We are shown a point of view shot from the side view mirror (of Mindy).
- As he gets out of the car, we are shown the back of his head.
- Finally we are shown a close- up of his full face, as he pushed her in the car.
These shots create suspense for the viewer, they are left wondering about the character’s real identity, as it is not until towards the end that the audience are able to see his full face. I think this is a successful technique as it misleads the viewer.
