Evaluation Activity 4 =]
May 5, 2010Our film, Hidden Crime is most likely to appeal to young males within the age range of 15 – 25. Here is a quick drawing of a typical member of our target audience:-
A lot of young men in today’s world tend to be quite stylish and most likely shop at places like Next and Top Man. Our main character, Michael Andrews is also image conscious and in our opening he wears the typical fashionable attire we tend to see on young men today. Our target audience can relate to the young Michael Andrews and perhaps even aspire to him, as he is an established young man out in the working world.
Our target audience are likely to listen to the modern rock genre. Bands such as The Kooks, The Fratellis, Lost Prophets etc seem to be popular amongst the young generation. The music we used in our opening was inspired by this modern rock style and this kind of music would probably make up the soundtrack for our whole film. This is another good factor to why our film would appeal to our young target audience.
The genre of our film is crime/thriller with many aspects of action/adventure as well. In general, crime thrillers tend to appeal more to male audiences. Our target audience probably watch popular TV crime series such as Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes. Also things like Supernatural and House may appeal to our target audience. Although these TV series are not exactly under the genre of crime, each episode involves a good amount of action with the main characters unravelling a mystery to find the answer they are looking for – much like detective dramas.
