Genre and Target Audience


From the responses from my audience questionnaire (19 responses) the majority of the interviewees were aged 17-20 and most were women.


I found out that the majority of interviewees thought that the genre of the short film is either drama or documentary. The fact that I've introduced the short film being "based on the 2010 UK student protest" attributed to people choosing documentary. This leads to whether the audience would watch the short film or not.



More than half the interviewees chose "no". This could be correlated to the preferred genres that they watch.

As we can see from above,  0% did not prefer to watch documentary and 18% for drama.

Reflective Analysis

Because our short film highlights social movements and political protests, many chose "not" to watch the short film; they thought it would be a boring documentary. The target audience will still be aged 17-20 because the issue with tuition fees should be relatable to students who are applying to universities. Furthermore, instead of two people talking about politics, we are basing the story on peer pressure but with the protest as the trigger for this which results in a conflict between two friends. This would make more of an emotional impact on the audience and again the target audience should relate to issue as well.
