Who would be the audience of our film?

When discussing our film it immediately became apparent that we would try to make a film that would be appropriate to all ages so we wanted to make a film that would target an entire family. To do this instead of researching a film I decided to research the BBC TV show “Doctor Who” as it is one of the BBC’s most popular TV shows and is a hit among all ages. Looking at the show it uses a fantasy and fairytale type adventure theme to keep children “wowed”, it uses detailed and slightly complicated story arcs to keep the interest for adults and also has scary aliens and dark tones to scare both the children and adults to keep all ages thrilled.

“Doctor Who” roughly 6 million viewers an episode making it one of the most popular shows on television so it became apparent to me we would have to use similar techniques in order target the same type of audience. We then decided to make a light horror fantasy that would include mystery elements and action sequences much like “Doctor Who” which already targets a certain audience which is also the one we were aiming for.

I also looked at “Pirates of the Caribbean” again as it also extremely successful being one of 7 films to gain a billion dollars the same with “The Dark Knight”. In fact looking more in to this we discovered that 6 of the 7 highest grossing films of all time that gained more than a billion dollars worldwide were all fantasy films, making it clear that our film would be likely to be very successful.
