Target Audience

 When Noah and I were coming up with our idea for our film, we asked ourselves "What audience do we want to attract?" and ultimately we decided that our target was teens, specifically suburban teens. Our idea to target privileged kids came from the environment that we live in where kids who live in safe gated neighborhoods want to act like they come from the streets or like they grew up in a bad area. These kids' motives are usually to do these acts for validation from their friends because it makes them seem like they are tough and it gives them credibility. When kids like this want to put on this act they start changing the way they dress, talk, or even act which can sometimes lead into situations that can later lead into consequences. These kids get all their mannerisms from influence like movies, social media, and music. What these kids don't get is that all their influence comes from pieces of entertainment that is purposed to attract awareness to this lifestyle not to attract negative attention. When these kids interact with these pieces of media, they feel like they are missing out on something that is bigger than them when in reality it's the other way around. This promotes the idea of kids feeling insecure of how they act to preserve an image of themselves that doesn't link with their reality which ends up hurting them more than it helps.
