target audience

The target audience for social realism films can be anyone as it depends on the situation the characters are in in the film as the audience are able to relate to the characters if they are in the same situation. Often based on class the target audience would usually be a working class one as they are able to relate to the characters in the film and have experienced their struggles at first hand. However having said this a middle class audience might enjoy this to as they may have been through some struggle or they may just find it fascinating on how working class people live.
My production B36 is set on a council estate and is about four teenage girls trying to e enjoy life and being frustrated by the situation that they are in. I feel that the target audience for my production would have to be a young audience say teenagers to early twenties as they may have experienced this kind of situation and are able to relate. However the target audience cant be too young as there is use of drugs, swearing and some sexual scenes. Therefore it will be certificated 15 to ensure that the content of our film doesn't upset or effect anyone of a younger age. My film may also appeal to girls as they are able to relate to the characters as they are girls. People from a council estate may also be appealed to the film as they can relate more to.
