The target audience for our thriller production 'Beach Comber' is 15-22 year old British people, as our main characters/actors are British teenagers, and the locations we used are in Norfolk (UK).
Due to the victim in our narrative that we track from the very beginning being female, it is possible that our audience would primarily be females as they would sympathise with the character, although our production could appeal to both male and female audiences; so is not limited to an 'all female' audience.
Other films our audience may like are 'Submarine', 'Dead Man's Shoes', 'Tyrannosaur', 'The Loved Ones', 'Seconds Apart', 'Attack the Block' and 'The Cornetto Trilogy' ('Shaun of the Dead', 'Hot Fuzz', 'The World's End').
Our audience may like 'Submarine', 'Dead Man's Shoes' and 'Tyrannosaur' as they are all Independent British films from Warp Films - a Independent British film company from Sheffield who want to get British film 'out there'; as well as Tyrannosaur being Paddy Considine's directing debut.
They may enjoy films like 'The Loved Ones' and 'Second's Apart' as the main characters featured are teenagers/young adults - especially both the victims and antagonists; much like our production.
Whereas they may like 'Attack the Block' as not only does it's narrative revolve around a group of deviant British youths, but -similarly to 'Tyrannosaur'- it is Joe Cornish's directing debut for film, produced by Film4 and with Edgar Wright as Executive Producer.
Similarly, 'The Cornetto Trilogy' will appeal to our target audience as it is a collection of British films written and directed by Edgar Wright (co-written and starring Simon Pegg), set and filmed in British locations; with social commentary on certain issues - issues of which could possibly be of interest to our target audience.

Gender.....link to your primary characters
Ethnicity.... " "
You satisfactorily identify the lifestyle of your target audience but you needed to explain that your film would also attract a local audience....I sent you a power point about his with links to the premiere of Alpha Papa at Anglia Square. Your film would have strong appeal to a local audience because................
