1. AUDIENCE PROFILEThis presentation explores the chosen audience targeted for my short film coursework.

2. Certificate ratingAfter much discussion my group and I came to the conclusion we should rate our short film a certificate 15 as it is set to involve elements of violence and scenes of a mild sexual nature and requires a mature understanding.

3. Target audienceOur target audience ultimately targets those from 15 years, as there are many elements within the short film that can be seen as ‘influential’ for those below this age group with an immature mind-set.

4. relationshipsRelationships and love is a strong theme throughout our film. Protagonists show love in an open way however, taking our target audience into account, elements of sexual desire are kept to a relevant standard.

5. violenceAs murder is strongly present and also reflected in the title ‘Death On Tuesday’ it was essential our target audience was of an age mature enough to have some insight and knowledge to not mimic the scenes and acts of both physical and emotional violence.
