Typical Female and Male who would watch our trailer

 
These images show how an audience member of our trailer would look like. The age would be 18-24 as there are some adult themes of in our trailer. Plus, the age is not too dissimilar to Valerie, the protagonist of the trailer, allowing for empathy between characters and audience to be built. Empathy between the characters and audience is important to the trailer because if the audience can connect themselves with the characters, they can follow the themes and the story more easily.
 
 The clothing they wear is popular clothing which is in trend at the time because they have money to keep fashionable perhaps due to parents or a part time job. This means there is disposable income in the househole which would also allow them to attend the screening of the film for the trailer we are creating. The way they look avoids steretypical social groups such as chavs because chavs are often of a lower class. The people of this lower class will not watch the 'Valerie' trailer because they would not have as much money to go and watch the whole film. Furthermore, the social realist genre is inclusive of taboo and lifestyle issues, portraying problems such as drug addiction. As this is done in our trailer, people of a lower social class would not watch the film as they may already be facing similar problems at home, cancelling the want to learn about characters problems. Due to these ideas, I imagine the audience living in households ranging from the C1 and C2 catergories on the demographic scale.
 
The target audience consists of students or apprentices or those who are only just beginning their career. This links with the age group as people who are 18-24 are often in similar employment circumstances.
 
Although there will be a mixed audience of all genders, I imagine that it will be mostly females watching. This is because of the title of 'Valerie' which implies the trailer and film are following the life of a female. Males would perhaps be less likely to enjoy a film that is mostly about a woman.
