Audience Research

Audience

The typical age of the audience who we’re aiming our film opening at is roughly14-18. Our film plot would most likely fit an age 15 category, therefore the most likely people to watch it would be this age. This means there are certain factors like language and violence which we need to consider that would be appropriate and not offensive for our audience. This age range is similar to our own age, we can benefit from as we will personally be able to understand what they think makes a good thriller film. 

            Our questionnaire will be completed by local people from the area who will all share similar backgrounds and possibly similar incomes. Because of this, we have a good idea of what makes a believable plot and setting for our film. With people earning similar incomes means that their interests will be generally similar, for our case locals from Whittlesey area aren’t over critical, more-than-average-wage earners giving us an idea of the quality that the filming of our film requires.

            Linking this is the possible location for our film; it will be local therefore realistic for our audience. The more realistic and familiar the setting is, the more believable the overall plot will feel to our audience. Whittlesey is a rural town which will probably reflect in our film, taking in to consideration that there are limited places we could film it is likely that we will involve some rural aspects. To keep our plot realistic and connected to our audience we will keep the plot to our time period, this will stop anyone from being confused too.

            The demographics for our film opening isn’t specific, it needs to be appreciated equally by both genders
