Target Audience Interviews

To find out more about our target audience, Grace and I interviewed 5 people to find out their views on Social Realist Genre, and what type of conventions they expect to see within this style of film.
The questions asked were:
1) Name?
2) Age?
3) Are you familiar with the genre social realist drama?
4) What are your views on social realist drama as a genre?
5) What are your views on the use of gun crime and drug use in films today?
6) Is this a genre you would normally choose to watch, if so/not, why?
7) What typical conventions do you expect to see in within the storylines of this genre?
8) What previous films have you seen that fall under this or a similar genre?

Doing these interviews helped me to find out what people thought of this genre. Some thought that the use of gun crime and drug abuse was slightly exaggerated, whereas some thought it was effective to see as it is more natural these days to see gangs and violence. The people that enjoyed this genre had most commonly seen Kidulthood, Adulthood and Shank. These are films that we have researched into to find certain conventions that we can use to challenge and develop into our own work.
