- Our audience was identified through our use of
focus groups and surveys, through this we have a
reliable outlook on the audience that will be most
attracted to our production. The audience that we
identified to be our largest base is male young to
middle aged (19-60) and we would also gain around
just under half of females in the same bracket
according to our focus group activities. The class of
our audience is working to middle class, and we
have we have no ethnicity that we have tailored our
production for.

We’ve attracted our audience by appealing to all that
they look for in this kind of film. We have ensured
that the mix of humour, violence, language and style
have all been mixed in the correct way that entices
the audience we made this for.
Answer

In terms of mise en scene we made sure the props
and scenery were typical of British crime films, so
quite run down areas with common cars that you’d
see everyday, the clothing was also very ‘normal’ of
a British crime film so the mise en scene was familiar
to people who regularly indulge in such films.

In terms of preferred reading, everything adds up. The
whole set up has been tailored to show exactly what’s
going on with as little chance of the audience seeing
something different to what’s meant. This means that the
whole story itself isn’t too complicated, the characters are
relatively straight forward and so is the narration. This
means that the chance of misinterpretation is lowered and
our preferred meaning will be met whilst also keeping the
audience is enticed. The way our characters are perceived
are also well presented, again tailored so how we want
them to be seen can’t be misconstrued into something
different.

However, our portrayal of the characters was rather
brief. We could have put in more detail into the
characters as a whole rather than a quick
introduction. This means that there is a chance of
our preferred reading to be misconstrued by the
audience.
Answer
8.
Our characters are also quite simple, offering little in
depth showing, again in order to more captivate the
audience we could have made each character that little bit
more detailed and explained to offer more context and
complexity.
With our audience range that we got a good idea from
using our focus group we saw that we weren’t picking up
a large viewing from the female audience. This may have
been increased by the introduction of a female character
which we have failed to do, had we done this then we
may have increased the amount of people in our audience
as we’d have taken a larger share of female viewers. But
we’ve lost then due to the lack of a female character.
