Target Audience
The target audience for my products is aimed towards people who enjoy british crime dramas. The audience would be class D to C1. I don't think class E should be included as our target audience because I think that pensioners wouldn't be interested in our films. I want the audience to see how Sean is portrayed and to get across the idea that he lives two lives. The trailer does state in some captions that he wants to break free from the bad side of his life and live a normal life. The audience may want to watch this for escapism, to escape from reality or for drama and general entertainment.
The target audience could also be a male orientated audience who can relate to Sean as a marginalised male, stuck between the chaos and complications of life, or it could also be watched as an escapism from their own problems. The products would satisfy this audience using a similar marginalised male who they can identify with or possibly use the character as an outlet. By doing so, I attract a certain type of male from Connells Masculinities and by word of mouth, the product could become popular.

Inspirational Texts - Posters
I did some research on some film posters. I wanted to create a similar film poster to these. Featuring Sean on the poster and no one else. This is to create a feeling of loneliness the character feels and also will promote the film for release. Usually a poster will have a release date or advanced screenigs in a popular area and also the cast of the film. A popular technique to use is "Based on a true story" to attract the audience and drag them away from standard fictional movies. Another technique is "From the directors of...", this is used when directors have created a popular film and gain popularity from the film. They can then use that popularity for future films to gather an audience to view the film. Johnny English Reborn does not show the release date but gives a rather vague outline of when it will be released. It also does not feature the cast of the film.
Although I want the poster to be similar to these featuring only one character, they are typically hollywood posters and my product is a small time production, I am also going to look at similar genres of films made in britain. Such as Gangster No. 1 and Dead Mans Shoes.
These posters are of british films that are of similar genre to my product. Out of the three, Dead Man's Shoes and Gangster No. 1 intrigues me the most. As they use a similar colour scheme with red, which connotes violence and blood, black which can connote death and evil and white, however this clashes directly with black as white is a pure and good colour, and could show that the film is dark, twisted and violent but the motives are pure and good hearted. Much like the main character of Dead Man's Shoes.

Brief
Brief
I have decided to do a film trailer with a poster advertising the film and a magazine featuring the film. I have looked at a few ideas for film trailers and decided to do a British Crime/Gangster genre.
I am going to use Sean Watson as the main protagonist for this film trailer as I thought he would create a good "silent character who will not speak out of line". Their characteristics are the same and he is what I imagined the character to be like.

Possible Scene
The trailer will basically outline how the character lives a normal life but also works as a hitman for a local gang. It shows the surpression and how he tries to break away from the gang and live his life in peace but as much as he wants to break free, the harder he struggles the harder it is to escape from it.
The characters will be wearing suits for parts of the film trailer which implies that the characters are part of a gang. I will also be using props such as a gun to create the crime/gangster cliché.
The poster and magazine cover featuring the film will have Sean posing as the main character since the film is essentially all about the main character.
