We tried to stick to the classic film noir theme when we was choosing how to present the film to the viewer, but included a more modern and darker element added to it. This helped to achieve the noir thriller we were aiming to achieve which helps build tension and suspense for the audience which was what we were hoping to create while filming and editing the final piece.The overall ideology we wanted to convey to the audience was that making one wrong decision can make you end up in a big mess, which is what happened to the main character in our noir opening. Also another message could be read that mixing in the wrong "crowd" can land you in trouble you weren't expecting to get involved in which teenagers can also relate to.The costumes were that of the original noirs, long dark coat for the anti-hero and a more promiscuous and revealing outfit for the femme fetale.
This helped us achieve the contemporary film noir status we were looking for and the audience can relate this to the old noirs.We used slow, suspenseful music during the slower scenes where we were establishing the scene and when the action was on screen it was more fast paced which we used to build tension and makes the viewer feel "on edge" and like somethings about to happen which we used to grab the audiences attention.The main location was of the dark room in which the femme fetale lay dead, this stayed true to the original noirs of dark alleys and streets which help add a darker element to our opening. This allowed for us to use interesting contrasting lighting which they use in the classic noirs to create interesting lighting effects such as when the light shined of the Hitman's hair and created a silhouette on his face. This adds mystery and creates interesting images for the viewer to watch.We used all these elements to add to the overall effect we wanted to achieve and made the viewer feel tense like a thriller should. We even used simple effects such as the use of simple titles to establish the kind of film we wanted the audience to perceive it as. All this came together to help us achieve the contemporary noir image we were looking for.
I would hope that our media would be picked up by a distributor like BBC Three, E4 or channel 4, the reason why is because those television channels have a much suited audience age than any others with them all having views from young teens to young adults, this channels would suit our project the best and would then in return hopefully give us more viewers. Also we aren't hoping this comes on in every cinema in the world for four weeks, but even with our low-budget we hope it would be released in some cinemas across the uk for a couple of weeks. Also we would hope that our project would get noticed enough to be rewiewed and hopefully from this and a small website we could make this would generate more antcipation for the release and once again try to attract a large as possible audience we could recieve. by leit henry

The target demographic for our picture is males from aged 15 to 25 years and we did our best to promote interest to this specific demographic with actors of that age group making them more sympathetic and keeping the film fast paced.The position in socio-economics status of our target audience would be between E and C1 as this is the class we are representing in our film.Mainstreamers and reformers would be the type of consumers we appeal to as mainstreamers make up most of the population we want to get most of them interested in seeing our film, reformers are always looking for something new so our fresh approach to film noir would hopefully get their attention.
Teenagers would get a sense of personal identification from our film as we use characters of their age group in the storyline as well as a bit of surveillance because of the extreme lifestyle of the characters make the teenage audience feel normal. Genre communities would be a good audience for our film as it would be of great interest to film noir enthusiasts who haven't seen any good new noir for a few years. Anyone who likes an intellectual puzzle would enjoy our film as the plot is based around a young man trying to get to the bottom of a mystery and proving his innocence.
