Target Audience Profile

I will try to target people aged 15-44. This would be people who are looking for something interesting and unlike everyday occurrences. Something that can make them potentially think and try to figure out. They are more interested in what's about to happen next rather than what just happened.

They have predictions about the ending so that when it happens they can be surprised. They also need to be confident and be able to take things seriously, have interests in many movies and not just the one. Take an interest in a few series they may keep up with.

Feel that a film had an impact and not just disregard what they just watched with minimal interest.

I will aim to please all and differ from regular films and take a step into a risky change.

Watching this film will cause you to think back over the length of the movie and add all the pieces together with satisfaction.

It will change the way you think about films today and see how it was different for you.

A reason to believe would be that it is in a known location with generally realistic actions.

A brand character may be a confused man with limited options not knowing where his life is headed and going wherever the wind takes him.

Once the film has been watched the slight temptation to watch it again will cross your mind. It may even want you to tell one or two people about it.

Whenever the thought 'What just happened?' enters your mind, you will be reminded of this.


This person will tend to watch T.V on a regular basis with a variation in series/film genre. They will enjoy twists and turns in every program or the ends of films. However this person will not be a couch potato, they have a life and a job/at school but they will go out of their way not to miss an episode on a weekly basis and willing to go to the cinema in order to watch a good film.


This person is not your every day man who has the same routine day in day out. They'll be willing to shake up their day and do something different in order to remember that day instead of letting it blend into the rest.


There interests would be films such as 'Inception', The 'Bourne' Trilogy, '88 Minutes' and 'The Departed'. There would be several series that strike interest such as 'Flash Forward',' Lost', 'Prison Break (Season 1) and many more. However this person is no stranger to comedy genre such as 'Two & Half Men', 'Scrubs' and 'Friends'


These viewers are extremely important to the production companies and Television Broadcasters as without them they would be nothing. So the intention would be to produce everything that would suit these people in order for viewings and ratings to stay high. This person will also view regularly if they like a series as if people began missing it viewings would go down and the program would get cancelled.

  1. • Organise blog posts so they are chronological.

    • Target audience profile needs addressing: it should be an outline of the type of people who would be watching your film, like the FX:TV one.

    • Need to have questionnaire results, with a summary of what this suggests and how you will use this information to help the construction of your film.

    • Props need to be accompanied by images.

    • Inspirations should also be embedded as images and/or video clips.

    • You must have another 2 analyses of film magazine reviews, focusing on use of conventions, style, layout etc.

    • For your short film analyses, remember also that you must comment on narrative, characters, sound and how these are used and manipulated specifically for a short film. Also, you need to comment on whether the film was conventional for short film (lack of dialogue, use of visual/aural shorthand, twist, cliff-hanger ending, few characters etc)

    • For your poster & film analyses- these have some good levels of detail, but need to focus on establishing what the conventions of short films & film posters are and whether the texts that you have analysed adhere conform to or subvert these, and the effect for the audience.

    • Must upload your draft poster & magazine article; explain in detail each aspect of your poster and magazine review, noting why used. Link to conventions of posters & magazine reviews and use terms and justify reasons why you are creating it in this way. Link to the brand identity that you are trying to create.

    • You need a draft/completed logo, again with reasons why you have completed it in this way, linked to your overall brand identity.
