Task 4

The audience of our product would be anybody, as depression is a huge thing that should be understood by everyone. however are main audience are students aged 15-17 as depression occurs quite a lot during this time and this will be their first experience of it and so will need to know how to deal with it or if you don't have it how to help others around you who might. Our film shows viewers all of the things that could go wrong with depression and how people with it might feel if they are left alone with it to handle themselves. This means that out of all the students aged 15-17 our main target audience are those people who don't suffer from depression, allowing them to help those who do.

Our audience would also be people who enjoy coming of age films and films that are quite personal and emotional. This might not be a very big audience as our film is quite specific however what we would be achieving for our audience is far greater than most big blockbuster films, as they might bring entertainment but ours will bring support and guidance.


                                                         

Hi, my name is Steven Baker, I'm 16 and am diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I felt that 'Dejection' was an extremely relatable film for me, as i felt i had a lot in common with the main character in terms of the area i lived and the type of personality i have. The message the film was portraying was extremely important to me, even though the ending was sad it gave me hope and reassurance that the people around me will always be there for me and help me in times of need. Although this film might not be my friends and family's idea of a 'good film' they will learn more from this than they think and it will maybe open up their minds to the people around them and their thoughts and feelings.
