Target audience
 

There are two main types of heist films; there are the standard heist films which are fairly serious and they focus on trying to maintain verisimilitude. These types of heist films tend to cater towards an adult audience, a good example of these types of films would be “Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”. The second type of heist film is called a caper, these tend to cater more toward a younger audience, this is because caper films will have a more light hearted and comical approach towards them, and example of this type of film would be “The Italian Job”

Our film involves a lot of young actors ranging from 16-18, because of this are film will most likely attract a younger audience ranging from around 13-21. This will be because the younger audience will be able to relate more towards the young characters in are films. However, because heist films have a long history, I think they are also popular with older audiences because it is a genre and style they are familiar with and enjoy:

In our film we have a mixture of both female and male characters; this means that men will be attracted to the film because they will relate to them and the female audience will also relate to the female characters.

Heist films tend to be aimed more at a young male audience, but I know that women tend to enjoy these types of films as well; this is normally due to the diverse cast of actors. A good example of a diverse audience would be “Ocean’s Eleven” this is because it uses a range of diverse actors although there is a lack of female characters. This blogger welcomes a largely female heist film, but is also obviously a fan of the genre and mentions films with a mostly male cast which she has enjoyed:
