Target audience
According to a study made in 2011, men think these ten factors are the perfect film:
1. Car chase2. Nude scene3. Action sequence4. Sex scene5. Sci fi/fantasy6. Chase scene7. Martial arts8. Violent/gory scene9. War10. Interrogation
• If we were to consider the age group of our audience we would say it would range from young adult males aging from 15 up to men in their early thirties.
• This is because our film will feature an intense chase scene and this type of action mostly attracts male audiences.
Budget

• This includes filming equipment such as cameras and lighting facilities along with post production such as editing software, added sound effects, music, marketing and other factors such as actors wages.
