Audience research and Film Instituitions


Audience Research
Since the film that our group made was a  crime thriller with a stereotypical view including betrayal and payback, we initially viewed our target audience to be late teens to early 20’s, or about 17-23 in more specific terms.
Nowadays there have been many different forms of films being produced and released therefore the target audience would most likely want to see something different and unique. Also the younger audience tend to be more critical of movies that target them but at the same time are quite easily impressed.
Since our film include a view of stereotypical crime/thriller genre the audience will probably be expecting an anticipated twist much similar to movies seen before by them.
One of the things that a film production requires is promotion from the audience themselves, the main one being word of mouth, which will not occur if the target audience does not enjoy the movie that we are offering them and because our target market will probably be one who is quite critical on these type of films.
Institutions
Revolver Entertainment

Revolver Entertainment particularly makes urban crime movies that are mostly targeted towards teens for example the urban drama “Kidult hood”, their companies are based in both London and in Los Angeles. They have made many British movies as well as other foreign pieces of work such as “13 Tzameti”

They have made many types of films such as crime/thriller films such as the highly known “Lock Stock and two Smoking barrels” which made an outstanding profit of $25,297,569 when the budget for the movie was only $1,350,000.
Regency Enterprises
Regency Enterprises is a Los Angeles-based film and television production company formed by Arnon Milchan and Joseph P. Grace. It was founded in 1982 as Embassy International Pictures, but the company name changed to avoid confusion with Norman Lear’s Embassy Pictures (known from 1975-1982 as Avco Embassy Pictures). Its most successful film is “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”, released on June 10, 2005. It has made quite a lot of films that are similar to our one due to the reputation that the company has developed over the many years. Some of them include the likes of “The Client”, ”Natural Born Killers”, and “Heat” with Al Pacino and Robert Deniro.
