Target Audience

Introduction: Throughout this blog post i am going to research in depth about my target audience and what keeps them engaged this is a follow up post too my previous Target audience post, the reason I decided to do this was to go in more depth.

Age: Age in my eyes is a key factor in choosing your target audience. Age can depend on what piece you are intending to create, for example if it is a piece about a murder, themses would consist of violence, foul languiage and what not. Themes such as these will cause the Age rating to incease to 15/18 years of age this is why when Social drama covers themes such a these they are normally rated high. When putting an apporpiate age rating on our piece we decdided to put it as 14-25 years of age, mainly aimed at males as the main charcater is a male and only follows his journey and is asscoiated with parkour and different elements of free running.


Gender: The gender of this piece is massivley male dominated, due to the fast pace edits, the main character being male and themes of free running. Not much stereotypically that can appeal to women but either way it can still be enjoyable to watch. Males from different locations such as thamesmeade could maybe relate to the main charcater much more as the clothes that he is wearing are fit the strerotype of that area, that stereotype being an urban society, a rundown poor place.


Education: The social drama's audience can only be genralised, people that are interested in genres such as these can vary in intelligence, its too big of a audience to go into detail about but again depending on the topic of the piece the audience can react them differently.


Conclusion: After carrying out this research i feel that i have got a clearer and more educated understanding on my target audience, mainly male dominated and varys from the age of 14-25.
