R&P Audience profiles

Audience profile 1: 28 Days Later.
The type of person that would go an see a post apocalyptic would be be younger people (15-30) as younger people might be more into the fictional world of nothingness. The genre is also similar to a zombie film in the setting of which the film is based. The setting alone helps to create tension and suspense, making the film more enticing to people that like horror based films, these people will most likley be younger people. The dominent gender that are likly to go and see the film are male, however that does not mean that women will not also go and see the film, however I expect the majority of the audience will be male. I don't think that the film appeals to a certain ethnicity as it does not portray a certain ethnicity in any way, either good or bad. This helps the film top appeal to a wider audience as it is not specifically aimed at any ethnicity. The class of the people that would be likley to go and see the film is skilled working/middle class people. This kind of film appeals to those that are better off than others, maybe becasue they are more interested in the genre than those of a lower class. I also think that the film will appeal the most to middle class/ working class students in collage or university. The film is filled with tension and suspense, the kind of thing a student would want to see in a film.

Audience profile 2: Outbreak
This film is very similar to 28 Days Later, but it has more action and less suspense, therfore it could be considered an action film, rather than a thriller. The type of audience that might go to see this film is most likley to be larger and more diverse than the audience 28 Days Later. The age range may be more broad, the age range of people may range from 10-55+ as the action genre is more appealing to a wider audience. The cross over of the genres also helps to make the prospective audience larger, this film will appeal to those that like action, thriller and sci-fi films, whereas 28 Days Later is a very specific genre and this may discourage soem people from going to see the film, even if they like the concept of the film. This film also appeals to all ethnicities, however this film may appeal more to african americans than 28 Days Later as one of the main character is Morgan Freeman. The class of the people that may go to see the film will most likley be the same as that of 28 Days Later, middle/working class, however the cross over of genres may make the film appeal more to higher class viewers. Tose type of people are into the whole action violence thing, of which this film has plenty of.

Audience profile 3: 12 Monkeys
This film is also similar to Outbreak and 28 Days Later, although is more based around the Sci-Fi genre than the others, however it still has many aspects of thrillers and action films. Like the other two films, this film is most likley to appeal to younger people as a majority (15-30), but the aspects of the Sci-Fi genre may also appeal to those that are older (40-50). The Sci-Fi aspects appeal to those who like films such as Star Wars and the action aspects of the film help to appeal to people that like films such as Saving Private Ryan. This mix of genres really helps make the film appeal to a much wider audience than if it was solely based around a single genre. The film also appeals to all ethnicities as there is not negative or positve representations of any ethniciity, however the main characters are white, which may put of those of different ethnicities. The class of the people that are likey to go and see this film is working/middle class. The genre of the film appeals to them rather than the upper class population. However appealing to the working and middle class is a good thing, as the majority of the population is either working or middle class.
