Mixtape- Audience- Megan

The short film mixtape won the best short film award at the Virgin Media awards ceremony. As well as this it won Best Film at both the Lancrab and Purbeck film festivals, and was even nominated for best short film at the BAFTA's in 2010.

 

I think the short film- Mixtape- appeals to many different audiences for different reasons. To begin with, this short film is only accessible by the use of YouTube and different websites online, which nowadays is seen as the main platform use of choice for teenagers/young adults who grow up around the technology of the internet and use it the most in this day of age.

The film can be aimed mostly at the male population due to the film showing a boys love for the girl next door which is seen by the nervous way he is talking to her mum. It targets the age audience of around 20-40 year olds due to the outdated use of 'tapes' which aren't use in modern day anymore, it also targets the audience of when this music was released in 1925 as an up-beat pop music of that day in age, therefore targeting an older age population.

Lastly, this film could also target any teenager going through or falling in love as young love is the underlying theme of this short film.
