Our target audience for our film is 16 + but would be more appealing to mature audience this is because of the themes in our film, one of these themes is war which further on in the film the audience finds out the husband isn't dead but had been held captive, this could have slightly violent themes and racial views influencing a higher certificate rating. The classical music in our film also give anchorage that its targeted at a more mature audience.
After researching on the BBFC website we have decided on the film rating to be a 15 because with the male being held captive this could include some scenes of violence and racial abuse. The main protagonist also starts a new relationship, this could include some scenes of a sexual nature and the war flash backs may mean some use of strong language.
Our cast reflects our target audience well because the main character is in her 20s and her husband is as well, the women is shown in our film opening but her husband isn't but if we continued the film he would be. Also having a central female protagonist will attract a wide female audience and with her being in her 20s this could be related to the male gaze theory.With our film genre being a romance the stereotypical audience would again be female but with there also being a war theme this could attract a male audience because the war genre is stereotypically male.
Even though our two main protagonists are Caucasian we don't think this will effect our target audience, a range of films have the two main characters being Caucasian and it hasn't effected their box office sales, for example The Notebook got $13,464,745 in there first weekend in the USA and Atonement got £1,634,065 in their first weekend in the UK. Also with it being set in the 1940s multi-ethical societies weren't common.
In our film we've tried to not focus on class but we feel that it appeals to all classes because of this. But our location at the beginning is at a large upper class house which could signify that the main character is upper class/ middle class. We think the themes will appeal to most classes.
Our film will appeal to fans of Atonement, The Notebook, Titanic and An Officer and a Gentleman. Other less known films that will have fans our The Edge Of Love and War Bride. These fans will be a potential audience because all these films have romance themes and most have war themes which our film has as well.
With the only dialect in the first two minutes having no specific accent we the audience will have no judgement view on it because we have tried to keep specific accents out of the first two minutes. The voice overs accent could be seen as southern which is more recognisable to a wider audience. We originally had our film location being Menston, West Yorkshire, but we decided to change it because Menston and West Yorkshire are not well known places so we changed it to London because it will be more recognisable to a wider audience.
The theme of romance could attract any sexuality and our film has nothing specific that would appeal to the pink pound market.
Someone that would enjoy Lost In Love & War would be someone with an interest in history and English culture and enjoy romantic dramas.
