From our research we found that our target audience enjoy films of the social realist genre more than the other genres we presented to them and would like to see more of them produced in the UK. By also talking to them we discovered they like to generally empathise with the characters and prefer films that they can relate to with issues such as relationships, crime, sex and drugs. We also asked the teens if they think that social realsit films are male dominated, and their response was that it is and they would like to see more films where the female role is more dominant in this genre.
