For As Media Studies

1. Audience Member
Noir Film

2. Perfect Audience Member
• Older working class people or upper class. Someone who is in their 40’s or older.
• Clothes: Probably wearing a nice shirt with a sweater, maybe even a suit and tie. Clothes that
the middle aged would wear; no hoodies or sweatpants.
• Eat: He will eat nice foods from relatively nice restaurants to even fancy restaurants. He wont
be eating microwave food or fast food.
• Music: Interested in some jazz and maybe even classical music. Will most likely listen to music
from the 70’s up to the 90’s. Nothing modern or techno.
• Movies: Watches old noir movies such as “The Godfather” “Goodfellas” “L.A Confidential”

3. Attracting Him
• I’d advertise the movie up in the office areas of cities such as Central London where someone
of the working class/upper class would see it.
• Advertise it at the end or beginning of Movies in the Cinema. Mostly prior to or following
crime movies, or even other noir films.
• Advertise it on T.V channels such as HBO or even the crime & drama channels. After shows
like “Midsommer Murders”
• Place it in Newspapers. People of his class or above will follow the news through the papers.

4. Alterations to our film
What we could’ve done better to suit our audience:
• Have the right costumes and props that are usually in noir films; Little things such as ties,
bowler hats, cigarettes/ Cigars, realistic weapons.
• More realistic affects and sound affects. Such as the gunshot; maybe even have a gun flash.
• Better lighting, shadows, and silhouettes to really replicate the mise en scene of a noir film.
