Channel

Our documentary will be marketed mainly towards males from 16-34 but will also bring in an audience of women as it is an artistic area of interest which brings both male and female audience.

There have been many graffiti documentaries…•Getting Up•Forbidden Art•Wild StyleBut they have never been shown on channel 4, the reason for this is that they are biased towards graffiti. Our documentary will be showing both points of view ‘Art or Vandalism’ and I believe the existing audience of channel 4 will suit our target audience.

Sub genre

Our style of filming will show an Interactive documentary but instead of having a presenter like most documentaries, we will have the actual graffiti artists talk to the audience. We will also use the ‘voice of God’ Style having the graffiti artist talk over various shots of graffiti

We chose to make a documentary on graffiti to inform an audience that want to know more about this subject. We want the audience to make an un biased answer to the question to ‘is graffiti art or vandalism’ in the movie we will make sure to show both sides to the argument
