Martyn - Audience research

In order to make this project is a reality I, as well as the rest of the group, need to understand what an audience wants in order to give them what they are looking for and then to give them totally unexpected....so basically when you come down to brass tacks we want to give them a feeling of "what the hell is going on?" but not to leave the audience too confused...
 When considering the different audiences and a way to link certain ideas between the two in a way that would look natural, I should look into the needs of a few genres and who watches them.


Audiences for a Drama Documentary are stereotypically the older generations, mostly middle aged womenand mostly white, because these seem to be the generations most likely to watch this type of film as it appears to be a softer and calmer type of film, whereas a younger generation would go for something much more unexpected.

A Drama is on the same substance as a Drama Documentary only the main difference is that a drama documentary is partially staged whereas a drama is all completely staged, dramas tend to get a larger audience as it tends to have some sort of story-like feel to it. Documentaries probably have the potential to have the largest audience of all as they can literally be about ANYTHING,some may prefer a more nitty-gritty documentary and others may want something less over the top, a documentary can tailor to any veiwer type.
