How did we attract/address our target audience?
Together, myself and my group put together a small, 4 minute, narrated video about how we were attracted and addressed our target audience. We have mentioned what parts of our film we feel our target audience would fine appealing and referred back too the feedback we received when we showed it to people of our target audience's age range.

One barrier however that myself and my production group faced was the problem of having real, big movie stars to actually play a role in our film - it's quite impossible. This rather throws a hammer in the works for us because through this inability it will hinder the film attracting a particular type of audience: such as a Hugh Jackman fans would watch thriller films such as Van Helsing and Catfish or fans of Tom Cruise will instantly go to watch a new Mission Impossible film.
Another barrier was the fact we couldn't get real distributors to distribute our film. This sort of works like the actor problem; well known distribution companies such as UNIVERSAL draw a particular type of audience - not just UNIVERSAL fans but fans of the type of films it distributes. Movies like Van Helsing, Immortals, Cirque Du Freak and The Fast & The Furious; Tokyo Drift are all UNIVERSAL films. Without our film being distributed by somebody like them, our film isn't able to be well publicised to the public - or appear extremely interesting because it isn't very well known or distributed by a well known company.
