For the second CCR question, I must state the target audience. Then, I will discuss production choices and content in my film opening that work to engage the target audience. After that, I will provide a realistic distribution plan for my film.
Target Audience
After conducting some research, it is safe to say that the target audience for action films, with mine included, are young males (primarily 16-25). This is because action movies satisfy that group's typical interests by having fast-paced and action packed scenes. Jake Ambrose on "prezi.com" confirms this by stating that "For most action films the primary target audience is young males aged around 16-25 years old. This is because most action films have large amount of fast paced scenes, violence, and sexual content which would be gratifications this audience will look for".
Engaging with target audience
First off, I made the choice to show violent details, such as dead bodies and gun action in order to engage the audience. I knew these shots would spark interest and engagement among my target audience. I also created a sense of chaos at the end, which further appealed to my target audience, who are interested in action filled scenes. Furthermore, I created a very likeable character who would appeal to many in my target audience.
Distribution Plan
Realistically, I am not a well known producer. Because of this, I will need to come up with ways of getting my film noticed. According to "entertainment.howstuffworks.com", "Independent filmmakers often use film festivals as an opportunity to get the attention of distributors. Once a distributor is interested in a film, the two parties arrive at a distribution agreement". I think this would be a very suitable path for me to take. So, my plan is to try to get noticed by distributors by utilizing film festivals. Once that happens, I will open talks with the distributors and make agreements about distribution and profits of my film. I also plan on distributing my film to YouTube, as that could also bring attention to it.
