Question 4

The target audience for my film are teenagers aged between 13- 17. The main gender for our target audience are males, the reason why this is directly targeted at males is because through our research males were most dominant at watching action adventure films compared to females. This is because males enjoy watching people being in conflict with each other and also to feel the adrenalin the actors are feeling. As our film is action adventure the audience will expect we meet all the themes of codes and conventions included in action adventure such as Secret gadgets e.g. guns, ropes and knives and superhuman powers. We have also included codes and conventions such as a busy location/ setting this is because there are more chances of crimes happening in a mass crowd and location. We have also included characters such as the superhero, villain and damsel in distress who awaits for the superhero to rescue her from the villain, this is very cliché but through our hard work of research these are the conventions included in action adventure films. Our film will attract our main audience because it includes all the key themes they would expect from our genre. Also because we have an interesting story line so the audience can relate and show emotional tension towards our film. In addition to our genre our target audience would be interested in watching films such as Spiderman, Rush Hour, Pirates of the Caribbean and Fast and Furious 5 because they all fit into the category of action adventure and also because of the intense storylines.
