target audience

 In this planning post, I focused on figuring out what the target audience of the movies in the crime genre, and how my decisions can appeal to the group.

My primary target audience is older teenagers and young adults (ages range between 15-25). This age group is more likely to engage with crime dramas that focus on power and morality. Since my opener's storyline explores these topics I thought it would be better suited for more mature audiences rather than kids.

The film will actively appeal to people who enjoy crime and gangster storylines. Audiences who are fans of films like The Sopranos and The Godfather tend to appreciate good crime/gangster movies or shows with themes of power and family loyalty. My opening reflects similar themes, such as calm narration instead of action packed narration.

Because the main character narrates confidently while introducing each family member and their crimes, the film basically hooks the audience into being intrigued rather than shocked on the crimes. This aligns with the viewers who prefer psychological tension in their media.

Overall, my target audience is mature, viewers who enjoy crime genre themes and are interested in character dynamics/growth, power, and atmosphere.
