what the perfect audience member for our film would look like.

1. {
Our perfect audience members.

2.  Our perfect audience member would be
between the ages of 15-22. We decided this after
sending out our survey where majority of the
responses were from this age range. Our film
also has an age rating of 15 therefore it would
be inappropriate to have a target audience
member below this age.
How old are they?

3.  I don’t think that gender matters. I believe that
our film will appeal to all genders as the
protagonist is female, which means females
may be able to relate to her and also, the film
may appeal to heterosexual males as they may
be attracted to the protagonist.
What gender would they be?

4.  I believe the perfect audience member would be in
the tribe of a ‘hipster’. This is because they
stereotypically come from a background where they
have more money, and as a result of this, have a
better education and are more likely to go onto A-
Levels (just like our protagonist!) Also, Hipsters are
known for being more social and more likely to take
drugs, smoke and drink under-age. As these all
happen in our film, and the protagonist may come
across as a hipster, this type of audience member
would be able to relate as they’ve seen these
situations themselves. (E.g. Exam pressures &
drinking, etc…)
What tribe do the belong to and why?

5.  As mentioned in the previous slide, the audience
member would be a very social person and therefore
enjoy partying and nights out with their friends.
However, as they are a stereotypical hipster, their
parents are more likely to be in a higher position,
earning more money than the average person,
causing our audience member to have higher career
aspirations and a love for money! As a hipster, they
would be into the latest fashion trends and all the
expensive and vintage items they can get their
hands on! Our perfect audience member would
overall, be very socially aware and possibly
conscious of what other people think.
What would their interests be?

6.  They would have a very particular and obvious
dress sense. They would be extremely into
fashion and therefore wear what ever is in
season or whatever they feel is ‘vintage’. An
example of what they may dress like is shown
in the picture to your left. When seeing anyone
who is dressed like this (or similarly to this) it
is reasonable to assume they are a hipster.
What would they dress like?

7.  I think they would be into very unique things.
For example, travelling or going to theatre
shows. The would find the unusual things, that
are rare to come across, interesting. For
example, they may be interested in going to
drive through cinemas as they aren’t very
common or well seen in the UK. They would
have expensive taste and therefore would be
into entertainment that isn’t cheap to access
(Festivals, gigs, etc…).
What type of entertainment would the be in to?

8.  The would eat very healthy, and very exotic
foods. They would enjoy foods such as sushi
and would be more likely to choose a salad
over chips- unless on a night out!
What kind of food would they like?

9.  I think they would watch psychological
thrillers and thrillers which contain a lot of
action rather than ghosts or haunting. As they
are, stereotypically, more educated, they are
less likely to entertain the idea of ghosts and
ghouls because they feel they have another,
more scientific explanation. They would enjoy
thrillers such as; Black swan, Taken, seven and
American psycho.
What other thriller films would they watch?

10.  They would like our film because they will be
able to relate to the protagonist and elements of
the story line. They would live a similar life
style. Also, hipsters are known for having
strong ties with their families and having their
families work in high positions are dangerous
positions. As the protagonist’s mother is a
police officer and is the person who has to find
her, this particular audience member would
understand or be able to empathise with how
the mother is feeling. They might be able to see
their familiar parents in a similar situation.
Why would your film be the type of film they would like?
