Through research into films similar to our own, it's apparent that films attract audiences by establishing a certain tone that's often enigmatic to entice and intrigue audience members, while they also use iconography to make their film distinctive and generate a fan base. An example of this can be found in the film 'Revolver,' with the element of mystery playing a key part in the films narrative as well as Guy Richie's iconic directorial style presenting the film in a very distinctive and thus memorable light. This film also elaborates on the aspect of gambling, with a majority of the settings being centered around casinos, identifying it's target audience as a more adult age group, because they are the only ones who can fully comprehend the feelings associated with taking such high stake risks. In regards to the characters, the main protagonist is seen to have a non-diegetic monologue throughout the narrative so that the audience can get a better understanding of what motivates him and why. This helps to attract an audience of high intellect who can interoperate this character in-depth and therefore take more away from the film. All of these signifiers are evidential of my point that Guy Richie attracted an adult male audience by highlighting elements that are stereotypically associated with both their age group and gender.
This information will aid us in knowing what particular techniques we should use to attract our target audience and identify them as our main focus. After looking at this film, some exemplar techniques for us to appeal to our target audience of male teenagers and young adults would be to incorporate a character of similar age to make that person more relatable, as well as conveying them with quite mature mannerisms. These techniques will make it easier to identify our target audience and therefore make them more willing to invest in our film's narrative.
