The Evaluation - Part One

The Evaluation - Part One

The Producer of our Film, which is Film Four aims to protect it's position as a leading patriot of British fIlms expects us to create a British Social Realism Film with a target audience of 16-24 year olds. Me and my group have lived up to these expectations by adding the themes of teenage pregnancy, alcoholism, violence, depression.

Teenage pregnancy is a common problem among our target audience as teenagers as most teenagers in the UK have seen or been involved in underage pregnancy as the UK is leading in underage pregnancies in Europe. We believe because of this our target audience will be able to personally identify with the film and create links with the characters which will make them more engaged with the film. 

Alcoholism is another serious issue within the UK as teenagers and children are becoming more and more exposed to alcohol. This leads to more and more alcoholics in the UK and especially among children. This again lets the audience personally identify with the main character as they realise that the main character is just like them, the audience. Because of this personal identification lets the audience become absorbed into the film.

Violence is also another common issue across the UK as the demographic for our audiences are working class citizens which are known to be violent and tough. Our use of violence will let the audience use our film for catharsis, the release of negative emotions. This will let the audience be more entranced into the film and make them pay more attention to it.

Depression is known to be common in the UK, especially to teenagers, this certain part of the audience will become strongly emotionally tied to the character with personal identification. Again the audience will be able to use this for catharsis and create strong bonds with the characters and will let them become more engaged with the film.

The Title of Our Film

The title Devil May Care has hidden meanings as its an expression used to describe a reckless and jubilant mood. Audiences may be able to relate to this through their own experiences when that have been reckless with their actions and may be able to relate to the film title.
