When we asked our class (which are our target audience) what they thought was the target audience for our film, they said they thought it was they're kind of age i.e. teenagers.

Emily Outerside: Thought we attracted the teen target audience through the music used which is quite stereotypically girly dance music.

Sophie Gannon: Thought the fast pace editing identified with the target audiences way of life, and was intertextually liked to many other films aimed at our target audience.

Laura Beck:Thought that having the title 'Thursday Night' over the scene of the council house at the beginning of our film helped to establish the time and setting of our film, as well as the socio-economic group of the characters.

She also liked the narrative enigma, Alex Snowden agreed saying that the twist kept the audience on their toes wanting to watch more of the film and find out the story behind the baby, also signifying the socio-economic group of the central protagonists being C2DE helping to attract a wide target audience who were able to relate to the issues in-hand.

Georgi Cooke: Thought that the cuts being in synchronisation with the music worked well as it enthisized the actresses movement, keeping the audience interested, although using actress with more common accents may have helped anchor the location more thoroughly, including the genre of the film being social realism a more deliberate Northern accent would be a common convention.

We did take this into account (despite both actresses being from up North) requesting the actress's to speak in a more deliberate Northern accent when we re-filmed certain shots and added in others, however if we'd had more time we'd have filmed it all in this way, as making they're accents quite obviously Northern is a key convention to social realist films however may have narrowed it down to a more regional target audience.

Tom Copland: Thought although the actresses age connoted the target audience for our film including slightly more stereotypically central protagonists at a slightly older age may have helped further anchor the prefferd reading of target audience for our film.

If we had enough time to do this we would have done, as it would help to attract a wider target audience.

George Needham: Enjoyed the choice of shot angles we used however thought it may have worked better if we'd filmed the whole film on the same setting i.e. all on wide screen.

If we were able to re-film the film we would have done so in this way, as it would have improved the depth of field giving a wider view to our audience and looked more presentable throughout, however we didn't have enough time to do so.
