Audience

 

Audiance Research

Research is an important aspect to the research and planning of any film or short film as it allows the different studios/companies to see if the film will be popular or where they should be aiming the film.  Sometimes short extracts or trailers are shown to a focus group, as this allows the company a way to see if audiance will understand or even like the film. Somet imes questionaires are used to understand the target audiance and what they may like in the film.

 

Demographics

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These different areas allow companies to aim towards to ceratain groups of people as each group has ceratin characteristics that allow companies to create film that aim towards certain groups uasally the biggest (E or D), the more high groups are more of the niche audiances. Companies can crete differnet films aimed towards different people based on this table. For my shortfilm I will take this table into consideration however I believd this table is to fixed therefore I will only refer to the use of a certain groups when i use it in certain points in my film.

Question 2: what is your age

Question 3

Question 4

Question 5

What group of films would be your choice

Question 6

Target Audience summary

From the research above I am able to tell the type of audience I may or may not have, so from this I am able to aim towards my traget audienace or I can break the codes and conventions and not meet the audiance however convently must films/TV shows are aimed towards a certain group.

 

In my research above I found out that female students, aged between 16-25 where the most popular group of people however as you see below in my traget audiance profile i will expand this group so I have mass audiance rather than a niche audiance. 

 

Target Audiance Profile

 

Gender: Male and Female

Age: 16 to 25

Demographics: Groups D to E mainly Students

Type of genre: Action and fantasy and a small bit of Sci-Fi

 

The reason for setting these as my target audiance is because this population is huge therefore aiming towards them will be easier as they are the most common population that watch films/TV shows. As well as this i am able to easily meet this groups needs aas i know what the audiance wants from the film therefore I can meet their expectations.
