1. Title, Genre, Inspiration
The title of our film is Cottenham Park Road; we've decided to name it this because it's
based on a gang located from this area. The genre of the film will be Action as it includes
violence, close combat and frantic chases. Inspiration for the film has come from
gangster rappers, 67, from New Park Road and films such as Kidulthood, Adulthood and
BrOtherhood.
Target Audience
Demographic Profiling
The target gender for our audience will be mainly male as it's an action pact film,
including a lot of fighting and shooting which would appeal more to males. For age we
decided that it would most likely be for teenagers and young adults, reason being theres
too much violence for younger children and gang-life would most probably not be elders
choice of film and because it's targeted at teenagers/young adults the film would fall
under Generation Z. Using the Socio-Economic Model my group have decided that our
film will come under Groups D & E which means it will be thought that semi and
unskilled workers and students will most enjoy it.
Psychographic Profiling
Using this type of profiling we decided that our film would be targeted at Explorers who's
core desire is discovery meaning they have a need for discovery and challenges, The
strugglers who's core desire is Escape meaning they live for today and The succeeders
who's core desire is control meaning they're always seeking rewards.
