Audience Research

Doing this has helped me finalise some ideas for my media text that I was unsure about before. These include the certificate (15), slang being used, violence (a fight and chase) and the target audience mainly being males - these were the common topics that appeared when we asked what they would expect to see in a crime/gangster film. I learnt that other people around my age group think that the target audience for a crime/gangster film is males 15 years and over. I now also have a further understanding of what the general age of my target audience think would make a crime/gangster film successful.
