Storyboard and target audience

Having developed a synopsis earlier in the week, we have also begun to storyboard some ideas for actual footage in our trailer. We thought of many different shots that we could include and have started to develop some into a more complete storyboard. Some that we have considered to use include shots at night of a chase, this would create a very eerie and thriller element to the text to build tone and drama. We also want to include some POV shots of people being watched, we think this will be effective to build tension and will look very authentic in the trailer. We have also compiled various other possibilities but have yet to develop this and create a final storyboard.
However we have thought about our target audiences. Because of the action/thriller elements and the probable use of a young protagonist, our primary audience is likely to be a younger more modern audience perhaps between late teenage years and early thirties, both males and females. However, as the protagonist is female, a female audience may have a better personal identity gratification or feel a stronger personal interest in the text, making it a more female audience. However the use of action, conflict and thriller elements may add a more typically masculine edge. However it may also appeal to a secondary older audience. Once the storyboard and concept are more established we will be able to get a better idea of the audience gratifications and there appeal to our target audience.
