Since posting our video on Facebook a few days ago now we've received on the whole a positive feel back from our friends. We got a few likes and comments saying how much they enjoyed it and how they wanted to see more and find out what happened in the rest of the film. They thought we'd done a great job and actually felt it looked quite professional, which we were very pleased with as this was one of our aims!

who would be the perfect target audience for our media?
Townies, townies are relatively diverse in entertainment choices but unsurprisingly stick to mainstream options. The brands townies usually go for are Nike, Topshop, Adiddas, Uggs, Ted baker, River island, etc. These brands are the brands worn by nearly all of British teenage population this means that townies seem to be the kind of poeple that follow the crowds and do not try to step out of the box this however is not a bad thing. The media they follow are very normal aswell there is nothing that is a major shock to anyone. Townies are also not majorly heavy Internet, magsine's, cinema or radio users however it has been found that they do watch alot of tv and do not pay much attention to the Newspaper.

In our film we tried to catch our target audiences attention by: 

  • The story line we tried to create is not too hard to understand and is creates a vibe that could be enjoyed by many different types of people because its is not something hard to understand this means it can be easily picked up by the crowds.
  • Our film is very light hearted and easy going so not hard to understand 
  • Townies watch a lot of soaps on tv this means that the dramatic side of our film will attract townies swell

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

When we were trying to adapt our main character the character we kept on relating it too was forrest Gump.The story of Forrest Gump depicts several decades in the life of Forrest Gump, a naïve and slow-witted yet athletically prodigious native of Alabama who witnesses, and in some cases influences, some of the defining events of the latter half of the 20th century in the United States. The character's match as they are both quite geeky and especially in these two shots as you can see above ther are both wearing a suit. The characters may match in some ways however the story behind it is not quite the same the fact that Gordon is wearing a brown leather satchel to try and follow the trend is something Forrest gump would never try to act like something he is not. The locations are also completely differant from forrest gump beign set in sunny North Carolina and The reunion being set infrom of Gordonstoun house in Scotland. We used this location to try and create a busy and profesional atmosphere. We were extremly influenced by Forrest Gump and many other charaters such as Tom of 500 days of summer however we created our own twist to the character to avoid our stories being completely identicle.
