friends/family.
Use because in most drama films
there is conflict and the
resolution is them sorting it out.
2. Follows the
characters journey.
Challenge, because ours doesn’t
really follow the characters
journey because you only see
snippets.
The family
are all
conflicting
with each
other
because of
an issue.
The differences is that
it is about terminal
illness not transgender.
The differences are
that this follows all
of the characters
journeys as they
learn new things.
Similarities are that
they are students
and experimenting
and gain
knowledge of
different things.

29. Target audience
• Our opening sequence is Niche because
Reason Explanation
Not many films have transgender This would be the case because there
isn't a wide range of target audience
that would watch this type of film
Low budget film It wouldn’t be advertised everywhere
therefore, not a lot of money would
be spent on advertising
Independent Only made for specific audience as
not many people are
interested/comfortable watching this
type of film.
30. Target audience
Target audience details Details Why?
Age 15+ It would be 15 because that’s
when teenagers would
mature up and would realise
what they want.
Gender Male, female Because male and females
could both understand and
possibly relate to some of the
situation
Race/Ethnicity All Races and Ethnicity Because everyone is able to
watch it and if they are not
allowed it also good to see
what people go through even
in these situations
Religion All except Christianity and some of
Islam where they would say they
should be secure. Because they
would say that there's a cure how it
would be with the same sex,
because they might get
offended how they would
watch something that they
wouldn’t be allowed
31. Target Audience detail Details Why?
Location In the UK It wouldn’t be in international
as it’s a niche audience, and It
would only be shown in the
UK as it can be restricted in
some places because its all
about identity
Social Class Any class Anyone can experience the
dilemma of seeking there
identity
Interests/hobbies They can all have different
interests hobbies - All
because it wouldn’t stop
those kind of audience to
watch identity films.
Social Group All Because the people who are
in different groups such as
punks can also seek identity
Target audience
32. Target audience Detail Why?
Sexuality All Because this film has to do
with sexuality, so its good for
both sexes to know what
other people would go
through and to see what
people’s opinions would be.
Profession/Role All It would be all because
everyone has the right to
watch these kind of films if
wanted, this would mean
more people would be aware
about these types of situation
that some people would go
through
Target audience

47. Music and sound
This would be played at the
beginning of the opening
sequence (non-diegetic
sound). This would be at the
beginning because:
Its slow paced, and there
is no tension at the
beginning of the opening
sequence
Its not up beat, which
means the music
corresponds with the
footage.

48. Music and sound
This would be our option 2 to be
played at the beginning of the
opening sequence (non-diegetic
sound). This would be at the
beginning because:
Because its really slow and
therefore it would work well
with Jodie as Jodie is walking
slow and thinking which
means there should be calm
music
However we chose this as
option 2 as its really slow
and there's choir music in
the background which can
disturb the audience, this
might make the audience
focus on the music rather
than Jodie.
Music name: Kyrie

49. Music and sound
This would be played at the
end of the opening
sequence (non-diegetic
sound). This would be at the
end because:
It starts slow then speeds
up as Jodie starts thinking
whether she would jump
or not
This would also be god
because the shots gets
faster which builds up
tension, and the music
would have to
correspond with the
footage for it to make
sense
