Target Audience

Target audience The primary audience for this film will be between the ages of 14-24 because this film is based on scenes from the London riots which will have had an effect on this age group and will be something that they can relate to they can relate to this becasue other people of this age realte to each other people this age might have friends or family in the area filmed and are intriguid how the film portrays the area. My secondary audiene will be the parents or friends of my target audience. The films that inspired me to make my film is This Is England and Ill Manors the reason i chose these films to watch is because they are really interesting and i thought i could make a similar storyline which could relate to the same target market The film will need to have a high age certificate, probably 15 or 18 because of the level of violence and disturbing images that will not appeal to audiences of a younger age group.

Initial Ideas

Initial Ideas

Character - The main character will be around 14-17 years old and will be male. He is seen as a typical teenage boy, who is bright and does well at school.  He becomes intrigued with what happens in the local neighbourhood and because of his living situation, he and his family don’t have much money, he falls into the wrong crowd.

Locations – The location will need to be urban, rough and dirty. It is not a desirable area because there is a lot of crime and drugs. Due to my location close to London I have easy access to lots of these areas. A possible location would be Thamesmead because it is easily accessible and has the right landscape.

Real life dramas

Real life Dramas

 

I have researched into different types of dramas, and decided that the genre I am basing my sequence around will be real life dramas.

Real life dramas are dramas that focus on a specific individual or group of people and a situation that they find themselves in.  This situation is usually focused on their everyday life and how they live, and usually involve poverty, drugs and crime.

In more recent times these films have tended to focus on younger people, in particular teenagers and how they interact and are controlled by adults.  Similar films in this genre are ‘This is England’ and ‘Ill Manors’.

I have chosen to base my opening sequence around this genre because this genre appeals to me and so I will able to relate to it and because these films appeal to a younger audience which is the audience I want to target.
