Part Two - Audience for product

In our opening sequence we chose between the ages of 15 – 30, which were male. We chose those ages because the main character in our opening sequence is the same age to our generation, this means that the audience can relate to him in their real lives. We have chosen to set middle class and working class as our audience, as the main character in the opening sequence doesn’t really have a high paid job, also the film contains drugs/violence/gang references, so this is how working class and middle class link to these references. The films we expect our target audience to have watched are; Scarface, The Godfather Trilogy, Heat and Taken.

We made a survey to find information on our possible target audience. We then collected the results and analysed them to find out specifically what our target audience is interested in. Looking at what we found out, we found out that the most watched thrillers are crime thrillers and this is the sub-genre of our opening sequence. This means that our opening sequence will appeal to the target audience that we have set which was between 15 – 30 and also our opening sequence has an unclear narrative and will keep the audience occupied at all times.
