After going through the Creative Critical Reflection (CCR) expectations in class, I thought it would be best to make a blog post outlining who we want to reach with our specific message. Every production ever usually has an audience in mind, the piece is made for that specific audience. For example if let's say a college student started watching Doc Mcstuffins on Disney Junior they probably wouldn't like it. Why? Because that content was not made for them. "You" on Netflix was made for them so they will probably like that better.
We want to appeal to a wide range of people preferably ages 13-50 because the teenage demographic is extremely important when it comes to making commercially successful movies. Drama movies usually attract older audiences, but because our main character is a young teenager, it might help skew the age ratio to be a little more young. MPAA or the Motion Picture Association of America collects annual data on who goes to the movies. In 2018, over half, 51% of moviegoers were women, so it helps that our main character is female because that could drive more turnout. Coincidentally our main character is also Indian which is only because Shreya is the lead actress, but this could also drive turnout among the Indian-American community who might want to see how their culture is displayed on screen. Overall, we think by appealing to a younger audience our film will be commercially successful.
