Evaluation 4

Target Audience

Gender
The target for this film in terms of gender would definitely be male. This is partly due to the protagonist being a male teenager, which allows men and boys to empathise with him. Also the film contains a lot of action and gore, which stereotypically appeals to men more than women and stereotypically women enjoy more emotional films. However this certainly does not mean there will be few female audience members, in fact I would expect it to be enjoyable to any gender as it is an intelligent film.


Race
As my film is based on a teenager with almost no money, living in a London council estate I think that people with a similar background could be drawn to the film, although I believe that others would also find the film interesting, seeing as it may be something new to them. Also English people would be more likely to be interested by it, as it is an A-classed film. This might mean that they could feel in some way obliged to watch it, as they may want to support their country.

Location
This film is meant to be set in a poor area of London (Croydon), and is meant to show the protagonists struggle when growing up. This makes the film relatable to m target audience. People from London may want to watch this film more than others as they may see many locations that only others living in London know of.

Age
My target age is around the ages of 18 to 25, as this is the age of both understanding the youth culture and the protagonists feelings as well as the age in which they can understand the more intellectual messages of the film. The protagonist is aged 17 so this target audience are also a very similar age.

Secondary Audience

My secondary audience is the middle aged man. This is because they are able to reminisce  about younger times when they could possibly have been getting up to the same sort of antics as these characters. The target would still be British as the film is fully based in London and there may be many references throughout that many nationalities may not fully understand. Being male is not essential, however some of the situations are more relable to teenage boys than girls.
