The
primary focus of our film is to entertain; it’s an action film, so is not
designed to educate, but just for the audience to find solace and
entertainment. Another of the reasons for which audiences could watch our film
is escapism. This is probably the second most prominent of the reasons, as
audiences would watch our film to immerse themselves in a world that is distant
from their own to forget their problems. The other obvious reason why people
may watch our film is so that they can identify with characters. We like to
think that our characters are three-dimensional and have vices and virtues that
audiences could relate to. The final reason that could potentially be applied
to our film is to be able to discuss the film in a social environment. This
would probably be the case more for a big budget film, but we establish several
enigmas in our film that could prompt discussion.
Another theory of audience that can be applied to our
film is the male gaze theory. This states that films are from a male
perspective and therefore objectify women. We cast a female role in our film to
entice a larger male audience, however she does not have a speaking part in it,
leading to the conclusion that she is solely there for the satisfaction of male
viewers. The plot never explores her story in much detail, so she is left as a
two-dimensional character. The film as a whole appeals to a male audience, as
it is high in action and thrills, features that a stereotypicaly male audience
would enjoy.
