Target Audience


The age range we would be aiming for our target Audience would be 12 (12a technically). This because we will not be using adult language, and if we do, there will be little and it will not be of much harm. the theme of the film isnt too disturbing but it wouldnt be understood as easily to a child audience. There is no sex witnessed in our film, nor violence or drug use, but some scenes may be horrific to some e.g. backwards people and the blue man. Our cast and location will reflect this age as well as it will be in a recognisable environment, and also the age of characters will be older teenagers, which at this age, they aspire to be like.


Our film is aimed at all ethnic minority's. There is no discrimination against either ethnicity however there are only Caucasian characters being used. However this is down to primarily being a mainly Caucasian school. In the media industry this generally doesnt effect the audience of the film anyway as it doesnt really matter. However, if a Black character was to be used as a main protagonist, this could change our audience a little bit as it is seen to attract more of a Black audience, which can be seen as odd as a Caucasian character does not effect as much.


The gender of our film would be aimed at the male audience. This is because we havnt invested in using any female characters, and the main-protagnoists are male as well. However, we will incorporate the Female Gaze in our film by having either a topless man, or a short love scene, but these are not major plot points. With our film also being a Comedy genre, this will cross out the female audience as Comedy has been branded a more male film genre, the Rom-Com being totally different, but this hybrid genre has evolved into being completely on its own.

Our film will be aimed at C1C2(Middle Class) audience. this is because our characters will be of Upper.Middle class but the upper class will be victims of a mockery and from the view of a middle class character. Also the story may be too complex for a DE class or too boring (no explosions and 'hot babes'). However there will be hints of the lower class which can draw them in as the character will be walking around town, through different areas.
