Production intentions

Audience

As the brief has instructed us to make the ratings for this movie 15, our audience will all be over this age yet primarily under 25 as it is targeted at students and young people. We predict that this trailer will attract more females as the protagonist is a female which is unusual and represents the alternative ideology. However our primary target audience consist of both genders as this hybrid genre contains both gangster and romance. The gangster scenes will gain attention from the males as there is much use of violence, drugs, guns and some sexual content. Females would be attracted as firstly they see the protagonist a female and would be persuaded into watching it as we live in a patriarchal society where women are seen as inferior to men however this film contradicts this as the female is seen as dominant or the overall “hero”, also the film has a powerful love story and is prone to emotional feelings & as females are sensitive they may feel impassioned by this, the story is also about the friendship between two girls and to what lengths one would go to In order to save their friend.
