CCR question 2

Hello blog! Today I'm going to talk about the second question for my CCR: How does your production engage with audience and how is it distributed as a real media text?

Well, to answer this question, the first thing is to describe your target audience. In the genre I chose, Enemies to Lovers, the age range is quite broad, from 16 to 30 years old. That's for Enemies to Lovers; classic romance is much broader. People who watch this genre want to see something exciting with lots of action and romance. These movies focus more on how the story develops than on the ending. They like to see the process and how the protagonists fall in love little by little; they like drama and tension. They are mostly women. I focused on character development to make sure the audience liked it. I highlighted the differences between their personalities. I showed Marcos in a simple, classic style because he has a cold personality, and I showed Chiara in a black midi dress with a very classic yet daring leg slit and a V-neck. I gave her red lipstick to show that her personality is more direct and daring, and that she doesn't care much about what others want. In the intro, I showed their first fight, engaging the audience and highlighting their differences, thus generating tension between them. I also added a conversation with a friend of Chiara's, suggesting a solution to her arranged marriage problem, to hint at what will happen in the future.

To distribute my film, I would publish it in its entirety on YouTube, since it's a good platform for beginners because it shows your film to specific communities. This would allow me to reach my target audience. I would also publish clips of the best scenes from the film, such as fights and moments of closeness.

Script for question 2 of CCR

Now I'm going to move on to the second question: How does my production engage with audiences, and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

My target audience is young people from 16 years old up to adults in their 30s, the vast majority of whom are women. People who watch these movies enjoy emotional tension, drama, and a slow-burn romance. They enjoy seeing the drastic change and the process of how the characters initially hate each other and end up falling passionately in love.

To capture my audience's attention, I focus specifically on character contrast and emotional conflict. One of the first things my audience will see is a fight between the protagonists, generating that emotional tension and making it clear that their hatred is mutual. I also use visual storytelling to define the different personalities between the protagonists and highlight their differences. For example, I dressed Marcos, the male protagonist, in an elegant and classic style, while I dressed Chiara, the female protagonist, in a very daring and elegant style. This clearly establishes that Marcos is colder and more distant, while Chiara is bolder and more striking. This helps the audience quickly understand their personalities.

For distribution, I would publish the full film on YouTube. It's free, accessible, and perfect for aspiring filmmakers. The algorithm of this application is very helpful because it's designed to show the film to specific communities, such as people who have already seen films with romance and a lot of drama. I would also publish some clips of the most interesting scenes, such as arguments and family moments.

So overall, my production engages the audience through strong character contrast, emotional tension, and visual storytelling. And by distributing it on YouTube and promoting it with short clips, I would reach the exact audience that loves this genre.

So that's all for today, bye.

XOXO,Isabella Fraire.
