I believe our film will attract our target audience in a variety of different ways:
-Anybody who has ever been on a date will be attracted to the opening due to the fact that they are most probably familiar with the pre-date rush and jitters making it a very relatable opening, although probably not as extreme.
-Once again, most people should find the comedy aspects very entertaining, particularly seeing as most of the comedy is slapstick making it easy to understand for anybody, no matter what country they are from.
-Men should find relief in the fact that they are not as much of a walking disaster as Guy (most probably) creating a comfortable viewing experience in laughing at the misfortune of someone else.
-Women are likely to have a similar response to the men but may feel sorry for Guy and may almost find his misfortune cute.
-Overall, the opening sequence is supposed to highlight the excitement of Guy on finally achieving his first date but also works to show the audience why Guy isn't the type of person you want to go on a date with at the moment through a range of humorous moments designed to make the audience laugh at Guy's misfortune.
Other examples of similar openings are 'John Tucker Must Die' which features the main character's routine followed by John Tucker's date routine which he does to multiple girls. This features various funny scenes and is designed to introduce all of the main characters as well as make the audience laugh. They also feature the same concept of relief at not being one of the girls being 'played'.
22 Jump Street also shows a routine but this time it's the routine of being a cop. They incorporate comedy through the use of a really poor accent put on by one of the cops and this is very effective at entertaining the target audience.
