Types of Audience
The reason
for me choosing this topic is because to emphasis on the point that not
everyone can like your idea. There is no crime in being unique, but you never
know who will or will not respect your work, as at the end of the day you
cannot control over every individuals mind right? This particular post is not
to dis respect an individual, but just to accept the ‘The types of
Audience’. In this field you never will know who exactly are your audience, and
every individual’s reaction towards your film. This particular part makes you
feel nervous, tensed, and as well as snatches away your sleep. As a film maker
you are portraying your idea to a blind audience, and it’s not possible for
each, and everyone to like it. But it can be possible for most of the audience
to accept the film being made by you. Before being a film maker you are an
audience. I am personally in between both of them but mostly started to think
as film maker right now due to being a part of this world. Well you can at
least know the ‘Type of audience’ who will watch your film. I am not
generalizing it, but by the tool of observing it helped me also get the
knowledge of the type of people in the hall to watch a film. Yes, I do go to
watch the film as well, but as I am chasing for achieving my dream to become a
director, it’s very vital to know the current generation you are in now.
There
are various kinds of people who will watch your film even if they are
interested, or not interested, I will highlight some of the points which I personally
have observed. The first type is the ‘Judgmental Ones’. You see, there are some
people who go to the hall to watch the film less, and judges it more. These kinds
of people will find false in each and every part of the film most of the time,
which automatically makes them less interested towards the film. Sometimes
comparison to another film or industry is also taken place by them. The second
one can be the ‘Spoilers’. This particular group of audience can also be
somewhere similar to the ‘Judgmental Ones’. These kinds of people usually look
at the film with a negative aspect, either because they will not like the genre
or the acting, etc. If they accompany someone they also might spoil their mood
while watching the film. The next type of audience can be the ‘Guesser’. This
particular group of individuals will be very keen to know the climax in between
of the film that they will start guessing the suspense, after pointing out
every cast member. If a film maker makes their expectations fail regarding the climax,
then the film can be successful as well. So for being a good film maker it’s very essential to get into the shoes
of the audience. The other type of audience can be the ‘Devoted Ones’. These
people can help a film maker become successful with his/her film, as they have
devoted themselves to watching the movie with full interest, and keen to sit on
their seats till the end of the film. This type of group can also be categorized in the ‘Respectful Ones’ also, as they indirectly respect the work portrayed by
the film maker. Another group of people can be the ‘Appreciative ones’ who will
appreciate the hard work done by the film maker, and also will enjoy the film
as well.
There are also ‘Smart Audiences’ who will look at the film in perspective of the reality, and point are mistakes which will not be pointed out deliberately but correctly as well. The last one I can state is the ones who are ‘Mind Changers’. These kind of audience usually influences the actual presentation of the film by their own feelings. For example, if a person went to watch a film, and personally did not like it either he/she will suggest the known people not to watch it or change their mind about the film. It can be negative or positive as well. There are even more various kinds of people who watch movies, and enjoy it in their own way as well. Some people also just go to pass their time, and some people might go because of their favorite superstar. These particular parts are categorized for the behavior which are mostly seen. So as a film maker you have to be very strong minded, and accept the harsh facts as well, and not let anything affect you, but make you improve instead. Understand your audience with your own style of film making will help you become a very successful director as well.
