 Here there is a mainly male audience with a main popularity in the under 18' male catergory.  From this I hope mine would be similar.

The results i found suggested that for my target demographic, I would want to aim my film at a Cinema going audience and have distinct unpredictability within the storyline.  If my film were to have unpredictability, the negotiatable audience may be more interested and want to see the film more.  Also characters of similar ages would help the viewer to be able to relate to the characters in the film because the viewers will have a better, more accurate idea of the emotions, actions etc.
