Task 10 Evaluation - Foundation Portfolio: Question 4 & 5

Our films target audience is quite broad due to the genre as many adults would want to see it as this could of been a very popular genre when they were of a younger age. The film also appeals to younger audiences because the film features younger actors, which give the audience something to aspire too and possibly relate to aspects of the charectors personality. Our film would be mainly aimed at a male audience due to the gritty violent undertones that re occur through out the film. We feel this would be more appealing to a male audience rather than a female one. This is proven through many action films such as the die hard films having an established male following in comparison to the amount of women who would watch it. Our film would appeal to all ethnicities but would mainly have a white following due to the actors being of that ethnicity, meaning people of other ethnicities would struggle to make a connection with characters due to the lack of similarities they share with them. This doesn't mean that other ethnicities would watch the film because that would be a naïve thing to say, just that mainly people of a white British ethnicity would make up the main body of the audience. Another reason why it would mainly apply to this ethnicity is because of the fact that other ethnicities wouldn't of been able tow watch this particular genre when it was at its most popular in the golden age of Hollywood. Our film would be rated a 15 as it has strong language and violence on three different occasions. The general income bracket of the people watching this film would range from B-C2 (middle class to skilled working class), as well as there will most definitely be E class people (students) who will watch the film as well. Usually the film noir genre attracts C1 middle class but due to the upper class portrayal of the main character as well as the use of intellectual themes in the film we feel that may also attract C2 middle class so we expanded the target audience bracket further.
