IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

Prompted by a question raised by Peter C on viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2906 and by his suggestion to move the discussion to a more sensible place.

Do/Should judges take into consideration the target audience when judging a film? And if so, how?

Example: a film about Harley Davidsons made for the Harley Owners club will assume a certain level of knowledge and a love for the machines whereas one for a general audience would surely emphasise the appeal and assume no technical knowledge.

(Edited for typos)

I think it's inappropriate to expect a Judge to judge any film for anything other than for General Appeal.

Unless it's a Harley Davidson film competition of course.
