Audience Research

audience research is very important thing for a film as by altering a film towards or away from a specific age group, gender or race could have huge affects on the amount of people going to see the film and having opinions on the film.  this also appeals to the type of genre that the film has. for example and action film such as die hard would have a huge target audience of middle aged men due to the way the film is set out and what it is based on.  furthermore they would not expect and 17 year old girl to go and watch the film as stereotypically they are not interested in fast car chases and huge explosions.

action audience

the action genre has a large target audience as boys from the age of around 16 like to watch the explosions and destruction of building built in with car chases creates a film that a male audience can not resist to watch.  although this is the case the genre has a hard time creating new idea to excite the audience rather than just showing the same story line to a film which would kill of the genre due to it becoming boring to watch and predictable.  In the films there are always certain characters such as; the  hero, the vilan, the sexy actress and usually it is set in down town USA.

Comedy Drama

comedy drama has probably the largest target auience as they use humour to entice the audience and make them want to watch more of the film. with this in mind there is also a lot more ideas that production companies can go with with regards to the story line of the film.  For example a simple domestic situation in everyday life or they could go as far out as an extraterrestrial coming to earth from outer space and creating a funny scenario.  the target audience of a comedy film is very varied in line with the actual nature of the film.  For example a film like the imbertweeners is aimed at a very young audience with the age bracket of around about 17 as it has a very immature scenario narrative.

Horror/Thriller

Horror and thriller films have a very specific audience with regards to what age group of people got to watch this genre of film.  Usually the young audience are more interested in going to watch the films as they are looking for the excitement and thrill of the cinema, where as a older audience may not enjoy the narrative of the film and may find it very repetitive and obvious how the film is going to pan out.

in conclusion to this i believe that my film will cover the majority of genres apart from the comedy aspect of film as it is a production about redemption of past and how a ex-vigulanty feels about how his past is now affecting his life and what he has lost.  I am aiming to create this film with deep meaning of you don't know what you have until you have lost it and this is what you ill see in the film.
