Audience Profile

                                                                      Audience Profile
For the audience profile I have done two people from the audience who I think would, be targeted to this film. I have done two audience profiles because  I feel gangster films cover a wide range of audiences.

Name: Omarian
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Jamaican
Nationality: British
Location: London- Brixton
Interest: Video games, Friends, Family, Tv, Music: RnB and Rap
Tv shows and Movies: EastEnders, Adulthood, Fast and furious, Kidhood
Occupation: Unemployed
Educational Background: Secondary School
lifestyle: those who come from perhaps the poorer side

For the target audience i picked features which i think, a person from the audience would mirror. I picked the name Omarian for someone from the target audience, because in the past I have watched gangster films and someone was called by that very name. But name isnt relevant in terms of target audience. The age that I picked for the target audience is 17 I picked this age because I fell as if gangster films are aimed at a younger audience, because younger people can relate to some of the issues related in the film such as being pressured into that particular lifestyle. The gender that i picked for the audience is male, i picked this gender because i think gangster films are primarily aimed at males. Whenever you watch a gangster film the main characters are mostly boys which makes me think the target audience is men. The ethnicity that I picked for the target audience is Jamaican I picked this ethnicity at random. I think when it comes to ethnicities this also isn't relevant because people who are in gangs are of different ethnicities, but maybe depending on what type of gangster movie it is could attract specific ethnicities. The nationality that I piked for the audience is British , I picked this also at random  I think people of different and all sorts of ethnicities would be attracted to gangster films it just all depends on what type. The location of the audience I said was London in particular Brixton I picked this specific part of London simply due to the fact that I know a lot of gangs are located in this particular part. however their are other parts and countries which do have gangs. The interest that picked for the audience were things such as Video games, friends, family and Rnb and Rap music and education background of secondary school i choose these particular interest because some people in gangsters in films don't tend to have an interest in education but in recreational things, which is something some people from the audience could also have an interest in to. The shows and movies that i choose for my target audience were things such as Eastenders and Adulthood, i picked these shows simply because they feature some gangs in them but also youths so again people from the audience can relate. In addition the lifestyle that I choose for the audience is those who come from a poor family  or those struggle financially. Mostly in gangster films people who are in these predicaments end up going down the gangster road because they need money to support not just themselves but their family or they get mixed up with the wrong crowd due to these struggles.


Name: Lissianna
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Nationality: Mexican/Spanish
Ethnicity:
Location: Mexico
Occupation: Part time Sales Assistant
Income: 8-10,000
Education: College- Studying sociology and Journalism
Interest: Fashion magazines, Tvshows such as Teen Wolf, Arrow, Supernatural, Films such as Fast and Furious, Taken
Lifestyle:

The name that i picked for someone from the target audience is Lissianna, i picked this name at random as the name of the target audience isnt necessary. The gender that i picked is female, previous i picked male for the target audience but this time im picking male because i think both genders are targeted through the conventions used in gangster films. i think even though gangster films are male dominated their always is that one girl who is featured in the film, which maybe some people from the target audience could relate to the female character. The age that i picked for the target audience is 18 i picked this age, because i think gangster films are primarily aimed at youths and secondarily aimed at young adults who have or are going through similar things.The nationality, ethnicity and location that i picked for the audience is Mexican and located in Mexico, i picked this nationality at random because i don't think the nationality of the audience is crucial, but i do think depending on what type of film it is could target a specific nationality. For example Adulthood i think aims at a black British audience. The occupation and income that i gave to the target audience, is a part time sales assistant job and income at 8-10,000, i picked this occupation because most students studying have a part time occupation. The educational background that i gave the target audience is College (university) and studying sociology i picked this major because, maybe someone studying this would be interest in gangster films to observe aspects such as the characters behaviour. Lastly the interest of the audience i choose was fashion magazines, Tvshows such as Teen Wolf, Arrow, Supernatural, Films such as Fast and Furious, Taken. I picked these particular interest because people or youth of this age tend to be interested in these types of interest.
