The boat that rocked

The target audience for the boat that rocked is those who like the top British actors and comedians all in the same film and generally enjoy a film that has a clear sense of humour. They also may be those who like 1960s culture which is when this film is set. There also may be music fans who watch the film for its soundtrack which received rave reviews.
I know this, because of the film’s soundtrack and the clear element of slapstick comedy that’s central to the film and its plot. Also Richard Curtis has become an icon of British film and the success of actors like Bill Nighy and Nick Frost means that a larger audience is attracted as they are clearly aware of their talent.
The film relies on the stereotypes of radio djs being irresponsible and also of politicians having no sense of fun with them attempting to shut down radio rock. It also stereotypes celebrities being nothing but thick and driven by the limelight and sex
Celebrities being bad role models British media
Bad attitude Controversial
Irresponsible Negative
Selfish Scandal
Rude Celebrity bad press
Arrogant corrupt
Dumb wrong
Childish Inappropriate content
Immature Influence
Bad people skills Popular
Involved with substances like drugs Widespread

These stereotypes are be quintessentially British, because the British press often receives severe criticism from the public and higher powers and British celebrities are all too often surrounded in controversy.
The ways that Curtis and the team can be said to be appealing to the mythological tendencies of the audience, include the fact that the British government is all powerful and that many people root for the underdog and this is the core of the film with the radio station fighting off government pressure to stay on the air. They also try and make the impossible possible which is what can make a film so appealing. They try and play on the audiences desires to see a great British comedy film that is very appealing and heart-warming whilst also including all the mythological elements that the audience may also desire.

Film making process from concept to culmination
Firstly an idea is pitched to the producers and film companies for the plot of the film. When it is agreed upon a script must be written in order for the film to be properly planned and be prepared for. They must then hire the crew, including of course the actors to make the film a reality. Some may not be available due to other commitments so those hiring the crew have to come up with a shortlist in case this happens so that they have a back up plan so that the film won’t lose its appeal or integrity if the first choice wasn’t available to work on this film. Then the film must be shot which can take several months to a year to shoot especially if some actors commit to the film as well as any other commitments that they may have. Then it must be edited and then distributed to the audience .
