The actors in our production are male and between the ages of 16 -20. This means that men in this age bracket will relate to the actors by wanting to be the characters they portray in the film. This is similar to the widely quoted line regarding the James Bond series of films, 'The men want to be him, the women want him'.
Boys between the ages of 12 and 16 might, however, aspire to be the actors and want to see the film. They would find difficulty watching our film, however, as would most definitely be rated an 18. The characters are meant to be slightly older than the actors at the about 30. The detective may well have come from a working/middle class background, which is the vast majority of the British public. This means that by casting actors from this background we are representing the biggest social group in the country. Both men are from a white Caucasian background which is the archetypal of the profession of detective so will seem familar to the audience.
If we were an actual Hollywood film production company instead of an independent one we may well have hired well known actors such as Johnny Depp or Bruce Willis who would suit our detective role perfectly.
This would naturally add star quality to our film and mean that we would gain extra audience members that the actors would bring with them. This could include people who :
- Enjoyed their previous films
- People of the opposite gender who find them attractive
By casting them it would please the audience and the social groups that relate to them.
