Our Expected Audience - Harry Quilley

Target Audience


As we intend to have slightly complicated story line, in which younger people may not understand. As we intend to use gender stereotypes, a younger audience may not be able to grasp the plot and how we are using stereotypes to portray Emma as someone she is not. Because of this, we as a group decided our target audience would be from the age of 16 as we believe by the age of 16 we believe  they should be able to understand the use of false stereotypes within our film. The good thing about our film, is that even people over the age of 60 will still understand the stereotypes as it was as common if not more common back then to be regarded as a lesbian just because of how they dressed, or by what sport they played.

We believe it will be suitable to both male and female as both can relate to the film, as the gender can be reversed without the change of opinion towards it e.g. A guy taking part in dance would leave him being stereotyped as a gay the same way Emma is said to be a lesbian just because she plays football and how she dresses. When looking at it from a social class aspect, it is also relevant to them as sexuality has little correlation with social class, therefore they will be able to associate themselves with the film.


As a Low budget short film, the best place for it to be shown would be the Duke or York as it is a independent theater, meaning there will be a better chance of getting in than if we were to try a place like the odion as it is a mainstream movie theater and all the blockbuster movies will be released there.

  1. You are right to say that an older audience would appreciate your messages too, but think about this as a short film, and the likely platform for it. We've recommended that your target audience is confined to the 15-25 age range for the above reasons, but you also need to think about feedback. If you say you're target audience is up to 60, then you would need to get feedback from this whole range. Define the audience more carefully, and comment on the likely viewing context for the audience (youtube? vimeo? etc)
