My Target Audience profile

My target audience will be aged through 12-30 years old; a typical year lapse for young adults, the film will consist of minor swearing and low core violence. They will range from lower class to lower-middle class, as the characters and audience will match. Ethnicity is of no concern. Religion is of no concern, though they may be intrigued in the new found religion set within the film only. They will consist of school level education, with minor A-level standards. And the majority of the gender will consist almost entirely on males (this reason is for the major male interest into sci-fi/action genres). I may minor show minor product placement without knowledge, as this is an amateur video, I plan to wear clothes that aren't made for me especially, and without labels. This is my projected target audience:


My film will also include interest form those who enjoy Post-Modern performances, which will mess with the genre, and will communicate feelings of joy or anger to the audience. Post-Modernism is tricky, but if used well, can be massively affective. An example of a successful Post-Modern film would be Blade Runner (starring Harrison Ford). Blade Runner revolutionised the film industry with the horrors of technology and the glossy makeovers of original films that could be modernised for the next generation.
(Demographics: categorising the audience)

The film Looper is another film which I enjoyed with some Post-Modern concepts; here is a still image from the film:
This still image presents the exact bleakness of an action/sci-fi film, that I would like to create. You can see the actor striding out of a traditional house, clutching a revolver and a futuristic Blunderbuss-presumably to kill another hostile/victim. You may also be able to see the facial prosthetics upon the actors facial structure, as he is forced to look identical to the action hero: Bruce Willis.

My Director idealists would be: Rian Johnson (Looper), Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner), and George Lucas (Star Wars, Indiana Jones).

  1. be careful with language - 'bring joy and hate to the audience' - dio you men communicate feelings of... to the audience - or represent emotiuons of hate/joy for the audience.
