2. Our Film: The
Presence:

3. Our Main Character:
This is Amy in costume during the film

4.  The Protagonist in our film:
 The reason for have a younger female as our protagonist
character is due to the stereotypes which are associated
with young females. These include things like: them
being more vulnerable, more emotional etc.
 Our Target Audience:
 The reason for select this particular target, which will be
roughly 15-25 is because they maybe able to relate to
some of the thing the character does better than older or
even young people.

5.  The Main Characters Costume:
 The reason for costume which Amy wore thought the
film, was because the clothing looked natural, therefore it
would create more realistic and life-like storyline for
people watching, as they may refer to thing they have
done which are included in the film.
 The costume she wore included: A blue and white stripy
vest top, black legging and cream/brown flat pumps. The
costume she wore also was created with the help of our
target audience research in the stages before our filming
process began.
 It also shows the stereotypical costume and/or outfit
which people of that age may or may not wear on a day
to day bases.
