Script 

 Today I am talking about CCR Question #2: How does your product engage with the audience and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

My target audience is mainly teenagers and young adults, around ages 13–25. I chose this audience because people in this age group often enjoy suspenseful and emotional stories. My film opening focuses on the relationship between two sisters and includes mystery, which helps the audience connect with the characters.

I decided on this target audience by researching similar thriller and drama films that are popular with younger audiences such as Scream, Fractured, and US. To engage them, I used production choices like emotional moments, slo-mo shots, and suspenseful scenes. For example, the beach opening with ocean sounds helps set the mood, and the scene where the younger sister appears faded creates mystery and makes the audience curious about what is happening.

If this film were a real media text, it could be distributed through streaming platforms, film festivals, and online platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Social media could also be used to promote the film and reach the target audience.
