My target audience;

My target audience seems to be a variation between male and female, tending to be balanced, the age limited of all my films is suggested that I can expect to have people over the ages of 15 watching my films, this I believe is due to the complexity of some of the films I've researched, which demands some sense of understanding from the audience, hence the age limit being 15+. The most common trend in class is C1 (Middle class).

My audience profile;
The easiest way to portray my audience profile

would be through an collage of films, this is because

I believe its easier to convey to people my audience

by giving them something to look at and understand.

(refer to poster on the right)

Why am I targeting this group?

My target is a mature audience, this is because I believe

they'll understand the nature of the film and be capable

of following the narrative behind my opening. I hope to

convey representations of happiness and peace, but in

a way most younger people may not understand as I'm

portraying that happiness via a character who is a ghost.
