Interviewing Our Target Audience...

- Target Audience Research

Our first interview was with a middle-aged woman who was almost definitely passionate about Crime/Drama films! Despite this however, from her detailed answers I assume that she was particularly fond of films such as 'Sherlock Holmes' and 'The Da Vinci Code' as oppose to 'Football Factory' or 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' - alike the films we will be focusing on. Despite this, she did give us some useful detailed answers; too much action and over dramatic scenes within the first opening would be enough to put many viewers off watching the film, and that some suspense is vital to keeping the audience engrossed in the plot.



The second person we interviewed was more fitting for our intended taget audience - teenager from social class D/E who takes an interest in Crime/Drama films. She said that to keep her interested in the film, the opening would have to contain some action and violence but also some suspense and enigma.

Lastly, we interviewed two more people also from our intended target audience. They said that what draws them to Crime/Drama films is the thrilling action sequences and tension that they create, and that to keep them involved in these films, the opening would have to contain both of those things.
