Task 4 Our target audience

 
This is Jake, he is 18 and finishing his A levels in Pyschology, I.T and Law. He wants to study Political Science at University of Sussex when he finishes and then go into developmental aid work in Africa as part of his year abroad. He enjoys reading The Times, Huffington Post and Guradian online to abreast of current affairs and goes to the cinema once a month mainly because he feels guilty about illegally downloading but also for the visceral pleasure and the odd date. The last film was Zero dark thirty and really enjoyed it especially its objective veiew of torture scenes in Iraq. His musical tastes vary from old school rock Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC to more contemporary music like  XXYYXX and Imagine Dragons. His favourite all time film is The Dark Knight and despite not agreeing with their policies on giving information to the government he does go on Facebook and occassionally rants in 140 characters on twitter.





Our Perfect Audience member


considering our film is an Action thriller and is most likley to contain high action chases which useually is more apealing to a male audience ,however possilbely a percentage of women as well.
Being a very technical film i thinnk looking more in to depth then just sex i think it will apeal to action seeking thriller loves , however may also appeal to groups of people with an interest in computers and haccking. This movie may also apeal to them.  We are looking a very large range of audience so the film could potentially do well due to the audience. Our film could also appeal to people with an interets in current affairs who would have read about Gary Mackinnon and remembered him from the news and when our film came out have an interest in watching our film.

If our film was advertised in broadsheets as well we may well broaden our target audience to over 25's who may well like our film because of its current affairs interest. As our film is similar to Mercury rising and The Sixth Sense in that it stars a young boy we may also widen our target audience by appealing to 15 year olds for whom the film could resonate. Our main target audience would be targeted by social networking and this would help attract them as we market the film where they look at things and hopefully this would attract girls as well as boys. Boys who like our film may well watch it with their girlfriends and older people who would watch it with their wives/partners.
