The target audience for our teen Drama film are young adults and teenagers from ages 15 to 24, the gender are both males and females from any ethnicity none in particular and the social class is C2DE which is working class as it’s set in a club in the urban city. This specific class are ones that are likely to be seen taking drugs and going to illegal clubs. Our audience is quite broad so there are not many limitations with it, however because the lowest age is 15 certain words and scenes cannot be explicit or violent as they are not of age to watch it. This demographic is vulnerable and may be at risk to be influenced by people from other communities. The convention of this genre is to begin my film with the production logo, so I’ve decided to use ‘Film 4, Pathe and BBC production’ as they produce teen drama films advertised to the target audience that I have mentioned before. I then plan to go straight into upbeat, club music to create a mood as its set in a club with flashing lights and teenagers dancing. A narrative from the main character is played on top of the music as a poem- a young boy talks about how drugs has ruined his life. The scene then cross-cuts into a close up so the audience can establish the main character as he smokes the drugs, a Chiaroscuro lighting effect is used on him so he looks mysterious and the audience are made to feel uncomfortable as to who the main character is. I have already investigated my target audience in a previous document and what I would like to do is examine through an intensive survey the likes and dislikes of my potentials target audience.
