Looking At Target Audiences Of Films.


Today in lesson we was looking at a different variety of films and analysing of which target audience applied to what film. Some of the films we looked at included: horrible bosses, bad teacher and super 8. We came to the conclusion that "Horrible Bosses" was aimed at the male audience as the domination of the characters was male. The Boss is a female and therefore the contrast between what you would associate a boss as male is actually female as the way the boss behaves. There are only two women characters in the film and therefore suggests a conflict between feminism and sexism. The way women are conveyed in the film could be poking fun the wrong way, as it may offend feminists. (as women are not seen to behave in the specific way) As there are only two women in the film, One of the women are just referred to as "Fat" and therefore suggests that the film lacks respect of women.

We also looked at different social classes and what type of media they read or watch. as a class we came to the conclusion that if you a wealthy you are more likely to read for example "The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph, Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire etc. as these are the higher market and more expensive products. Wheres the below working class are more likely to read: The sun, Reveal etc. And the difference between what defines a higher or low market product and what the company offers for the money.
