Audience profile;

When making a film, audience is an essential feature, if not the important. Without a defined audience, the film would become wild and unruly. If an audience is selected, then the film has a purpose; someone to direct it at. There are different class systems within the audience;


GradeOccupation

A- Higher managerial, administrative or professional

B- Intermediate managerial, administrative or profession

C1- Supervisory or clerical and junior managerial, administrative or professional

C2- Skilled manual workers

D- Semi and unskilled manual workers

E- Casual or lowest grade workers, pensioners and others who depend on the state for their income


When making a film directors will focus on a certain "class" to aim their product at.
Our film is aimed at teenagers, we want it too be as real too life as possible. So we are gonna try too include things that we do, for example smoking, partying and drinkin


When researching stereotypical teenagers we found this from many websites; As this appears too be our audience we shall try and make it realistic and as close too this as possible.
Raging hormones.
Anyone over 30 really sucks.
Knows everything there is to know.
Wants Instant gratification with no regard to consequences.
Rebellious toward parents and anyone of authority.
Very untidy room and grubby clothes.
Talks in monosyllables.
Always look like they're pouting.

Marketing for our Movie

 The main ways that we would market our film would be tv adverts, bilboards, posters and social networking.
T.V adverts- we would have t.v. adverts on E4, Channel 4 and Music Channels. It will be this specific because these are the channels that young people tend to watch because of the type of programmes shown attracts young people such as, The Inbetweeners, Skins, Shipwrecked, Made In Chelsea etc. The main timing for our adverts would be between 6pm and 11pm, this is because the sorts of programmes young people watch are on around these times.



Billboards- this is because from the age of 17 you can drive, and if they have the opportunity, young people would rather drive then get public transport, so Billboards would be used to attract those people that drive to watch our movie.

Posters- we would use posters at bus stops and at train stations because if they don't drive then young people get the bus and train most places. This way we are attracting every person no matter how they get around.

Posters in Clubs- by putting posters in clubs it gives off the impression that our movie is hip and aimed at that target audience that go clubbing.

Social Networking- we would use Social Networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to market our movie because most young people either have Facebook and/or Twitter and because a lot of people would rather hear off of their friends how good a movie is instead of being told by newspaper reviews etc. We could also use the technique called Guerilla Marketing, this is when you set something up that is unconventional and not expected at the time or place that it is done to promote a product or idea. Examples of Guerrilla Marketing are Flashmobs or Graffiti. 

Timeline of Title Sequence - Easy A.

I decided to write down the timeline for the film 'Easy A' as it's a relatively new film, with the 'teenage, coming of age' genre. I've done this as it gives me an idea on how our title/credits should appear in our film, its similar to the genre of film that we will be using in our project; therefore there will be similar music, narratives, images, and text, it also helps me to figure out how quickly the titles should be changing. 

Timeline of Title Sequence: Angus, thongs and perfect snogging.

The reason that I did this was because it allows us to realise the timing for the credits and the types of credits we should use, appropriate and suitable for the type of film we are going to be making. 

The type of film we are going to make is going to be a Teen film, just like Angus, Thongs and perfect snogging is, so the types of credits they use are going to be very similar to the ones that we use in our opening sequence.  

Research into Potential Target Audience;

In media it is common to refer to a hypothetical member of the target audience. 
For example; 
Mischa: She is a 17 year old college student of black British ethnicity, that lives with her Dad in Bristol, that enjoying going to concerts, hanging out with her friends, going to parties, going to town, drinking and following fashion. At parties and in her spare time she tends to listen to music that is in the charts, dubstep and drum and bass. She generally watches e4 as it appeals to her age group, some of the shows that are shown are; Skins, The Inbetweeners, The Big Bang Therory, Shipwrecked, Misfits etc, this all falls under the 'Teen' genre. 
Aaron: He is a 16 year old school drop out of white British ethnicity, who is unemployed and lives with his parents in Liverpool. In his spare time he likes to go down the skatepark with his friends, he also likes to play xbox and occasionally smokes cannabis. He listens to alternative rock and indie music. He doesn't tend to watch much t.v except for Skins and the occasional episode of Friends, but he mainly watches films such as Kidulthood and other 'Teen' films. 
We think that these are the type of people that would watch our film because they are in the age range of 15-24 as this is our target audience age range. Our movie would probably have the same type of audience as skins has as the target audience is about the same, according to the British Film Institute(BFI) statistical yearbook, the gender split of films with a similar genre to Skins in 2011 was 53% girls and 47% boys, this shows that girls tend to watch it more, but not by very much.
