4. My two minute film opening is an urban, British social realism genre movie
as it is similar to ‘Attack The Block’ which was released in 2011. Attack The
Block is an urban genre movie that depicts the lively hood of teenagers in
London. Moreover, the highest percentage of all the age groups was 48% in
(15 to 24).
This show that 48% of the
audience are from 15-24.
5. How did you attract
your audience?
I have attracted my audience in many ways for example
through:
• Dialogue
•Costume
• Music
• Similar lifestyles of other Movies e.g. Kidulthood, Attack
the block
• Story Line
• Urban area setting

7. Young teenagers can relate to slang and I have used slang in my film opening
through Raihan (actor). Raihan speaks to his friends when they come to pick him
up from prison. This may attract my audience in watching this film as one of the
Reasons I went to watch ‘Anuvahood’ in the cinemas is because they have slang
words and portray the British youth culture. I was interested in this type of film
because I, as a youth living in London can relates to this type of movie.
8. Costume of the characters
The clothing that is worn by the actors in ‘Wide Awake’ is street wear generally
worn by the average teenagers living in East London, you can identify what an
teenager wears and the clothing and understand the ideology underpinning the
text. For example, Raihan wears tracksuit and a hoody which signifies that he is a
Street boy and hangs around the streets, and another character is Moshin who
wears a suit which is Mysterious and looks rich and seems powerful. Youths aspire
to this, because they want to be wealthy and Moshin is like a ‘Boss’ because he
was like Raihan before and now has changed in to a wealthy man.
Other clothing's are tracksuits, trainers, jeans and jackets which typically youths
wear. This will attract the audience because it’ll make the audience see the realism
of the movie through the clothing of the actors.
9. This is a picture from the film ‘Anuvahood’ which was also based in London.
There was a lot of audience who watched that film who where the age from 15-
25, this may attracted the audience from the costume which the actor Adam
Deacon wore tracksuit bottoms and Track top and the language he spoke was
in Slang. As previously i went to watch this film because it was an film that
interests because it makes me feel like they are like me. This is why I have
made my character Raihan wear Track suit bottoms and a jacket which makes
him look like a young teenager, and it will attract audience who are teenagers
10. Music of the
Movie
The music that I have used for my opening of an movie falls in to the
genre of grime attracting the target audience as it has fast beats which
makes the film more serious and realistic. It also builds up tension which
the youths may find it as an adventure in East London and may want to
watch it. The music creates an atmosphere which is in East London and
makes it seem its in East London. The Music seems like something
curious is going to happen and makes the audience keep wanting to
carry on watching the Movie if I had to finish off the full movie.
11. Attack The
Block
‘Attack the block’ has got similar conventions for example the
costumes such as Hoods, Tracksuits and the Slang and its set in
Urban London, so this is why I think that I will have similar audience to
‘Attack the block’. They use the same language as the language that
we used in our two minutes of an movie which is slang. Attack the
block has audience which the age groups are from 15-24 as its got
young teenagers who are acting in the Film and makes the audience
may want to watch it. This is why I think I will have more audience from
the range 15-24 because the Actors which are young teenagers and
its about Urban crime and this is what Young teenagers like watching
for example, wealth, and crime issues.
The Film ‘Attack the Block’ has more
Males watching it rather than Females
as females may not want to watch
‘Violent’ words or not may not want to
watch crime.
12. Narrative of the
Movie
The Narrative of this Movie is that Raihan comes out of Prison after being
sentenced for 6years for being framed and came out thinking to change his
life, but before he wants to change and he wants to find out who framed
him for what he has done, so he gets an phone call to meet a Boss who
knows who has framed Raihan and he has all the information. This attracts
and address's our audience because its about Crime and the audience like
watching like this stuff because it could happen in reality and makes it look
realistic, and for the secondary audience who may not know what life’s like
these teenagers.
13. Setting
The setting for this movie is in East London which is an Urban area which
is similar to other Urban films such as Kidulthood, Adulthood, Another
Hood and Also Attack the Block. This may interest audience because
they’ll think that its in London and may want to know what is happening.
Other people who don’t live in London and who may live outside of London
may want to watch a film which is based in London and this may attract the
audience. One of scene that I recorded was in Millennium Bridge and
which it gave a great scene and a mysterious scene because one of the
characters was in Dockland and one character near River Thames, and
gives an great attraction to the audience.
14. Titles/Editin
g
I had to chose an effective Title for my Movie because the audience that I thought
in mind was from 15 to 25 and it had to have an serious look to the film because it
was an Film which there was going to have crime and make the titles go along with
the music and have a tense look. The Title that I have used had a ‘Lighting effect’
which goes with my name of the film ‘Wide Awake’ as being awake which is bright
so I gave a bright title. The Black signifies something bad is about to happen in the
movie, so this is why I have used that colour and made it look mysterious and tense
because straight after the title the scene of Raihan getting arrested comes so this is
why it will attract the audience.
