Task 10: Target Audience research


How many different audiences are there for Teen Film?

Teen films is a film genre targeted at teenagers and young adults. Plots are usually based on the special interests of teenagers, such as coming of age, rebellion/ territory,  first love,conflict with parents/ school, or alienation.

What is an Audience?

 An audience is a group of people who partake in a show

How do we define target audience?
  
A particular group/category of people at which a product such as a film or advertisement is aimed at.

Why is it useful for a film to have a target audience?

It allows you to understand and learn what that particular group of people like and look forward to in a product (a film in this case). Forms and conventions will be used to suit that target audience in order for the film to be successful and liked by them. Also having a target audience allows film makes to have limitations e.g. if a film is aimed at young children then violence and strong language will not be in the film.

Which audience do you think teen dramas appeal to?

  1. Adult audience (20-30yrs) : who may want to reflect on their teenage years (nostalgia) - brings back memories for them when they were young teenagers.
  2. Teenage audience (15-19yrs) : who can relate to it or who want to see what other teenagers are like
  3. Younger audience : Aspire or get an insight to see what the teenage years are like.
