Point 20: Categorising My Audience
¨
Due to my target audience being from the age of 15-24 this takes up 50% of the amount of people according to the pearl and dean graph. This means that my film will clearly fit the age range that I have aimed for and will hopefully be viewed by a lot of people. It also shows that the amount of males and females attending are almost even, much like how my film is aimed at both genders. I don't believe the social classes will effect my movie audience as much though, as I believe it can be understood by all.
Point 19: Perfect Audience Member
After going to uktribes.com and reading through the multiple
groups that are appointed to people depending on their personality and
lifestyle I have come to the conclusion that my target audience are part of the
leading edge. This includes creatives, urban artists, DIYers and
scenesters who are all seen as proactive leaders that live for making music,
curating club nights, publishing magazines and documenting the latest
things online. The sub-category creatives may produce music, promote club
nights, start indie bands and create festival stages. Urban-artists are another
sub-category which often contribute to urban arts such a spoken word, rap,
graffiti and urban music. Divers are creative and often produce music
and start indie bands, they also often influence urban culture in
major cities. The final sub-category that I believe applies to my
target audience are the scenesters who set themselves apart by creating
new friend and bring music from across all types of people and making
it their own.
My target audience is within the age gap of 15-25 that should attract
both genders through the neutral topic of music. The people are attracted to
new ideas and the ideas of new music and trying to get somewhere in life.
An example of my perfect audience member would be an 18 year old girl,
who listens to a wide variety of music but has a special liking for alternative
music and bands.
Point 18: Audience Research
A fast paced beginning with upbeat music is one way that you can create
a good opening to a film. Begin Again is a good example of this with the fast
paced music and multiple settings within the first couple of minutes. Ferris
Bueller's Day Off is another good example of an opening that attracts people to
films. The beginning has the main protagonist talking directly to the audience
about his life. This resonates with the target audience who can relate to the
character of Ferris wanting to skive off school. It also uses fast paced music
and multiple camera actions to keep the pace of the movie going. When a movie
starts and they have long introductions with a lot of title texts and nothing
going on audience are put off. It is important that when the title text
comes up you keep it interesting by not having a plain screen or having the
text up for too long. People are more attracted to movies which are fast paced
from the start rather than a movie with a slow start and a large about of title
text.
Ferris Beuller's Day Off also uses the opening sequence to establish the
relationship between the different characters and their individual
personalities. The use of the camera shots which show the protagonist facing
the camera and creating dramatic irony by including the audience in on his lie
about being ill.
