6. TARGET AUDIENCE
Our target audience would be 15-40 as most students and adults usually enjoy watching
action/crime films and also the protagonist of our film will be aged between 20-25 which would
make the audience have something in common with the film and lead them to watch it.
Our film will be released in August as it is the time where students and adults have the most
free time and are able to watch the film. In addition to this the working class would also have
free time during the summer to watch films. A general election will be taking place around the
time of our release date which also links to our film.
Our age certificate is 15 as their will be violence and scene that may
disturb viewers under 15.

7. BUDGET AND BOX OFFICE
• Based on our three case studies we can see that for this genre of movie the budget
varies. As our film will be British and based in London with no substantially high actors our
budget will not be as high as other films in our genre.
• Budget: £25 Million
• Box Office Estimate: £85 Million
• Our film will be exclusively British in terms of actors and the settings but will be produced
and distributed by American film company's as we feel it could help our film reach out
internationally.
