Lilting 

This film is a British drama and due to the use of the foreign language we can tell this is a art house film. Due to the narrative involving homosexuality I do not think the target audience would be older because elder people would stereotypically be traditional and set in their ways whilst younger people tend to be more accepting and thrive for change therefore, the target audience would be mid 20's. 

Borrowed Time

This comedy seems like a very unique concept as the narrative has not been done before therefore, highlights how the film is independent. Furthermore, the binary opposition of the characters reveals the conflict and the intriguing narrative. The target audience would predominately be 15-24 year old's, however I also think there is a possibility for elder audience demographics to want to watch this film too due to the character identifications such as the youth portrayal and the elder man.

This film is appears like a low-budget film due to the use of the mise-en-scene, it does not appear to be very high budget. I think the target audience for this film would be balanced so both males and females would like this film due to the subversion of the stereotype of all girls not being sporty, which would therefore appeal to the female demographic. This would also appeal to youths due to the content such as the language and the characters themselves being quite young so youths would therefore identify with the characters.

• Finally, the narrative must be interesting and intriguing in order to engage the audience; I need to include enigma codes and features to keep the audience guessing and compelled
