10. FINDINGS ...MY findings show the most popular teenage pastime is going out with friends, presenting my target audience as very socially orientated. Findings also show the majority of teenagers our film is based at are single, this could play a vital part of their interest in ‘Death on Tuesday’ as it doesn't portray a typical happy relationship between protagonists. Research also shows that teenagers enjoy ‘Thrilling / Jumpy’ films as they create more of an exciting take on the film. This is all included in Death On Tuesday.
11. CONCLUSION ...Through researching further into our chosen target audience, I have found that essentially the correct age group has been chosen to present Our short film to.
