Target Audience:
- 16-18 year olds
- Mainly female due to female cast
- Will be watched by people who have
easy access to the internet and
technology.
- On the NRS scale, most likely to be
either D or E because they will be
students with lots of free time.
- They are most likely to be The Explorer
on the 4c’s model because they are
young and have a need for discovery,
this links to my film because the main
characters have a need for discovery
and having fun.

Character Profile 1:
Name: Maddie
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Role in film: Main protagonist
How will the audience relate: The audience will relate to this character
because she is the same age and gender of the target audience, I think
she is more relatable than my second character because she is not
rebellious and the audience may feel like they connect to her more
because she is the typical ‘good’ girl.
Personality: Introverted, likes to stay at home, has a small group of
friends and finds it hard to fit in.
How they dress: My character will be dressed in lighter colours than
Megan. She will be wearing a plain tshirt and a light blue zip up
jumper. She will also be wearing black skinny jeans as they are popular.
