Mix Tape

3)    Mix Tape – Audience

We are introduced to a young male character, possibly around 13 years old. This suggests that the target audience could be of the younger generation. His clothing (straight collar) and the props in his room such as earphones and tape recorders suggest that he is middle class. 

 

There is a cut where the boy is laying on his bed, and off-screen diegetic sound plays followed by a cut (MS) of the boy putting his ear to the wall which makes it clear to the audience that the singing is coming from the other side of the wall.

 

 It cuts to a young girl of the same age as the boy singing to the music that he gave her (CU).  There is a shot reverse shot sequence and parallel cutting and from the boys facial expression you can see that he is happy. He begins to sing along to and they both begin to dance at the same time however on either side of the wall and it becomes clear that it is a little love story. I think the target audience is young children aged 8-13, mostly females.
