Read the next slide about Vertigo's Target Audience also involving StreetDance

Page 4: Task 3 - Vertigo films

Target AudienceVertigo films often targets specific audiences of films. But, as I said in the previous slide, the majority of films tended to be focused on crime, mystery or horror genre films, such as The Football Factory, with a budget of only £500,000.

Contrasting with this pattern, with Vertigo producing Streetdance 3D, moving towards a slightly more mass market but still requiring to target specific audiences, an increased budget is needed to fulfil the production methods used for the film. With this, it allows Vertigo to target a younger audience of 12 to 16 year olds, particularly females who may enjoy a Dance genre of film.

StreetDance being filmed in 3D also creates a unique selling point for the film, which younger age groups will enjoy due to its effect. The cast members were also chosen in accordance with the young target audience. You can tell this before they used

young dance groups such as ‘Diversity’, made famous by British television-it is also clears the fact that Vertigo aims more towards a British audience than, for example, Working Title. By using famous British actors may appeal more to a young

British audience than an American one.
