4. Stone Statues aims to
appeal to the audience range of 16-25 because the main character is young and
this age range means they can relate to her. Sofia is set out to be this woman
who doesn’t care about anything and gets her own way about everything. The way
she is walking in the opening shots shows she has swagger and an “I don’t care”
attitude towards most things. Even at the end of the opening when the car comes
rounds the corner and it cuts off she is shown to not care that the car is
speeding or about to hit her. The use of Sofia being this attractive girl who
has sex appeal would attract the demographic because a lot of guys in this age
group would link her to the sexual things that youngsters are into these days. They
would also link her to what they see in the news and on the web of young ladies
getting assaulted and attacked. The fact that she doesn’t actually die shows
that she is resilient and gives the demographic that sense of hope and to never
give up on things even if things get really tough.
The location being in the
cemetery is of a typical horror film and of one thrillers, which is contrast to
those of the hyped period dramas of this day and age with the likes of Downton
abbey and the king’s speech. The soundtracks eeriness plants it firmly in the audience’s
head and it drags them in to the film building tension towards the ending of
the opening. Thrillers like time lapse are centred in the 16-25 demographic and
I used the contemporary clothes style to benefit.
I would see my male audience consuming
films such as Essex boys and Kingsman because of the violence and killings in
it. And I would expect an amount of guys and girls to watch films like Thelma and
Louise and the girl with the dragon tattoo because of the sex appeal from the
girls involved and how it would show girls that they don’t need no man to have
a good time. Stone Statues is positioned slightly away from the mainstream end
of films and more towards the TV sort of thriller like Midsomer Murders.
