Who are

the target

audience

for short

films ?

• The audience for short films is quite specific, this is a lot different from the audience for full length feature films. There are two main groups of people who are going to be familiar with short films. This would be unemployed students who plan to make it big in the film industry, the other group would be people who are already successful within the film industry.

Demographic

ally

• The student sector of the audience would be placed in the E sector of the graph. The reason for this is because they are students and also that they are unemployed, most of the people in this group will watch short films so that they can gain inspiration and ideas for their own films.

for the

films I

researche

d ?

• Whilst researching I watched a lot of movies about the 9/11 attacks as this is the topic my film is also going to be based around. During my research I discovered a lot of different facts about the 9/11 and watching these films also gave me a insight on how people changed, this would include things such as their thinking towards a certain race. The target audience for these films would have been people who were affected by the attacks but also people who were affected of the aftermath of the attacks.

Who am

I making

my

movie

for ?

• My film is representing the affects that the 9/11 attacks had on a small group of boys within a secondary school, its different in a sense that people who make these types of movies tend to concentrate on the clash between adults however I have decided that movie will be different and show that the attacks didn’t just create tension between adults but also teenagers. As my movie is based around the 9/11 attacks and the affects within a school I believe my target audience will be males and females from the ages of 15 to 25. The reason why I have chosen this age group for my target audience is because it will be people from this age group who will be watching my movie as people from this age group also fit the description of class E from the demographic table. This age group also consists of people who aspire to be filmmakers in the future this is another reason why I am targeting my film as this specific age group.

• Furthermore I am using young actors in my film the reason for this is because my target audience is of people from the E sector in the demographic graph, so people will be able to relate to my characters and understand the message that is being portrayed to them through my characters and through my movie.
