Attracting the audience- *Question 5

When looking to attract the audience you have to try and include cultural references that they can relate to. This means that from the clothes to to place characters live must be able to relate to audience members. When creating the character of Matt Fox we had to make him a character that most young men could relate to. The style of clothing was one of the key points to relating to the audience, jeans and a casual top is a relaxed layed back look and a style that would be worn by many young men. The setting for the characters house is also important. The setting we chose for the house had to be believable for the audience, so we chose a family home which contrasted with the character of Matt as he is shown to be distant and not family orientated. Other ways to attract the audience is creating a simple story line but has excitement that will keep the audience interested. The setting characters and simple but effective story line combine to draw in the audience.
