Genre and target audience of our trailer

As our trailer is going to be set in the 19th century and is therefore a period drama, we have based its target audience on films and TV dramas of a similar genre, such as Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice and Downton Abbey. These are all aimed at families and people in their thirties. However, as Downton Abbey incorportates quite modern themes, such as scenes of homosexuality, it started to become extremely popular with a much wider, younger audience, and period dramas have become a lot more popular with people in their late teens and twenties as a result. Despite this, we feel that it would be better to conform to the typical target audience of period films, and have therefore set out target audience as people in their late twenties to mid-thirties.
