Target Audiences Of Films

Demographic chosen: Under 10 Year Olds

First Example: Toy Story


Toy Story is cg-animated Pixar aimed at a target audience of under 10 year olds. This evident because of the style of animation. For example, the animation of the film is bright, colourful and displays a diverse series of characters and settings. More specifically, the colours characters are vibrant and exaggerated, making reference of the films lack of realism but also in order to keep the target audiences attention as children have low attention spans. Also showing the vast collection of locations from Andy's bright and colourful room, emitting hope, enthusiasm and wonder to Sid's dark and eery room, breeding feelings of control, loneliness and chaos, gives the audience a sense of variety and stops them from getting bored scene to scene.

Second Example: How To Train Your Dragon


How To Train Your Dragon is another example of a film made for this target audience. Evidence of this is depicted through its intriguing, engaging yet simplistic story. For example, the story Of How To Train Your Dragon's narrative consists of Hiccup, the son of Noble and Courageous Viking who fights Dragons, befriending a dragon and trying to persuade his Viking tribe to change their opinions on the creatures. More specifically, the story is displayed in a clear manner, allowing the audience to understand what is going on, allowing them to engage with the story and not be confused and, by proxy, lose interest, which relates to children having low attention spans, which makes the narrative being clear paramount to allow it to work.

This is stereotypical of most high budget, action block busters it. It subverts the expectations of the genre by depicting the protagonist (Tony Stark) at the beginning of the film as completely unlikable. He is a drunk, misogynistic and is selfish. However his character progresses throughout the film to become the likeable Tony Stark that we know from modern day marvel movies. This is is different because the majority of heroes in superhero movies in the time period Iron Man came out were your stereotypical all good protagonists with not a lot of depth. This shows that Iron Man is transgressive of the stereotypical conventions of superhero movies...
