Target audience age range, gender, and common interests

The sci-fi genre is most commonly enjoyed by males aged 15-26, but because our main character is a girl, I'm hoping our film will garner a larger female fanbase than typical sci-fi films. That's how I arrived at our target audience, females aged 13-24. Because our main character is younger than most (18), I concluded I wanted our target audience to be young teens to adults.

I added a blue film over a scene to portray it as 5 days into the future. It adds to the sci-fi atmosphere and engages the audience. The close-up of the post-it notes at the beginning works to provide context to the character's situation and mindset. They reveal that the scientist is planning to present her invention to Ford Lebestine, the motivation behind her making the invention being that she needs money, and the name of her invention is "quantum viewing". 

We plan to promote our film at film festivals, specifically the AmAuteur Film Festival. We also plan to post it on YouTube on the official Headspace Studios channel.
