Who would be the audience for your media product?

The social realist films allow people to fulfil their needs of experiencing and understanding the problems young people face in society.

My target audience is between the ages of 15 and 25. Younger people are not suitable to watch these films due to strong violence etc. People in the age range above this could enjoy the films too but their experience levels will not be that high because they will be less effected by the social problems faced by young people in that genre. Some people above the age range could decide to watch the film in order to see the change in society from the time they were in that age group.

The setting plays a big part for the audience and it narrows it down to a specific group. Due to the fact that it is in the UK with urban settings, my target audience should be from a similar area so that they can relate to the story.

The characters in my film are mainly boys so I would expect my target audience to be majority boys, but through my audience feedback I have learnt that some girls also enjoy social realist films.

As our opening is a hybrid of social realism and crime, our target audience expands even to young people in the business world. Not everyone relates to the social realism side of the story therefore the crime side allows people to simply enjoy the film.
