Starring

11.  The film has two audiences as it was made for
the film festival.
 The first audience is the film festival judges
who would be between 30 and 50 years old.
 The other audience would be 15 up to about 21
as this is the age group represented in the film.
 The film does not appeal to a worldwide
audience as the film is about a small area in
Essex and does not portray the middle and
upper class that the world expects London to
be, but instead it shows the none working class.
Audience

13. Issues raised with
national and Local
audiences…

14.  Due to the film showing a small location in Essex
where the class is below working class, this film
would not appeal to an international audience.
 The setting of the film is made 100% clear as in
some of the shots the river Thames and the Queen
Elizabeth bridge is shown.
 The actors in the film are mostly unknown
meaning that the film would not have a huge fan
base before the film gets its own.
 Due to America expecting London to be middle to
high class this film showing below working class
and the theme of social realism it unlikely that
large American company's would distribute the
film.
