The conventions I used in the opening of my film were the ways that todorov uses the initial equilibrium, how it shows the worlds state at that point in time and also how the hero must travel on a journey to a destination to complete his goal. Another convention we used was how the iconography in disaster thriller movies always shows the main character move from place to place. I also use the way that typical disaster thriller movies show the calm before the disaster which I think I use well with in my movie. We also used stock characters in the opening two minutes but we did not include all the stock characters in a typical disaster thriller movie because it was to cliché but we did use show the vulnerable characters, the helper and hero.
The age group I researched that watches disaster thrillers are normally between the ages of 16-25 years of age, which means that most of these viewers are going to be students in there late teens or early 20s. Our film was made for people in the A,B,C1 social class group because they are the people how have the money to go to the cinema and watch the films, they will be the ones the will probably buy it as well.
We attracted people by filming in there home town, which brought people out to see what the area they lived in looks like on camera. We also captured the younger buy capturing there interest, so the movie as relate to them.
