Audience Analysis

Age:
  • The age range for our film is 15-25 the reason for this being the characters in the film are of a similar age so therefore it can possibly be relatable the issues show in the film and allow them to grow feelings towards the characters and understand there emotions.
  • While trying to decide the age range for our film, we watched a few film trailers on YouTube to see what films were similar to ours, we found Orphan.

Ethnicity:
  • Our trailer includes Caucasian cast but it will appeal to to a wide range of ethnic groups as many mainstream productions continue to sideline mainstream talent but dont seem to suffer comercially for this.
Gender:
  • The lead role is a male named David. He eventually turns into a killer and is quite violent so he would appeal to males rather than females. Some viewers wouldnt find a female killer as frightening as a male one.
Nationality/Religon:
  • Our characters are from the West Midlands, Birmingham, the location isnt a hugely important factor for our film. The fact that the film is produced by english students, may suggest that the
  • film would only be popular with a younger english audience.
