Audience
The audience forcomedycan be anyone.Itis quite simplyforpeople toenjoyandlaughat.Some
people watchcomedytogive themselvessomewhere toescape toandforgettheireverydaylives
and rituals.My shortfilmisprimarilyaimedatyoung people,due tothe youngmaincharacter and
hissituationwhichmanyyoungpeople canassociate with(beingaskedtogoout).The shortfilmis
primarilybasedinside the boy’shead,withthe differentemotions,feelingsandcharacteristicsof
himbeingthe maincharacters.Because of the practicallyall male characters,Ithinkthat myshort
will have aheavyleaningtowardsthatgender.Ihope thatboth genderswill be able toenjoythe
short filmhowever,asIwant the comedytoovershadow the narrative. Iwill dothisasI thinkthat
the story issomethingthatshouldn’ttake priorityoverjoke count,especiallyinthiscase of a short
film.The teenage audience will hopefullyenjoythis,butIalsohope that olderpeople willbe able to
enjoythistoo. Thisisbecause I hope the general themesandtype of humourIam using(heavily
influencedby70’sand 80’s comedy) will be attractive tothem.
