Demographic of my target audience

The target demographic for my film would most likely be males of age 15-25 who tend to have mainstream aspirations and who are approximately in the C1/C2DE socioeconomic classifications.  This is a wide spread of classifications because my film follows many stereotypes and conventions which are easily interpreted which would attract a broad audience.  Also, because of the teenage actors/characters the film would be popular to a young audience because they could relate to the characters and their situations.  This would make it easier for the viewer to imagine the situation and what it would be like if it was them in the situation in the film.  This makes the film more believable and enjoyable to watch.  The teenage stereotypes makes the film entertaining from an older audiences point of view as well because they can relate to when they were of a similar young age and they can also compare themselves as adult citizens now which would make them feel almost empowered by watching my film which exaggerates stereotypes that older people may believe are true of young people.

Because of the white, British ethnicity of all of the characters in my film, I believe it would be more popular amongst similar western ethnicities.
My film would have an audience ranging entirely from negotiable to hostile viewers (because there are no famous locations, actors or directors involved). I believe that easily identifiable stereotypes are important because they make connections with the audience on a personal level making the actors themselves less essential.
