Chosen Target Audience

For my A2 media documentary, I would like to aim my video at people around my sort of age- 16 to early twenties. This is because people my age tend to look for inspiration in a lot of places, and i think providing some sort of an inspirational, insightful and informative documentary I would have my audience interested and they would want to keep watching. I have carried out some research and asked people around my sort of age what kind of short docucmentary they would be interested in watching, and I got a range of responses.
Audiences are paticularly important to documentary construction because they help the makers focus on what they are trying to capture, and the audience is very useful for feedback on what was good about the documentary and what could be improved upon. Also, having a specific target audience in mind when filming your piece can help with whether you need to censor certain thngs for a slightly younger audiece, or whether you should have a slightly more in depth and intelectual side because there are mainly adult target audiences.
In order to fit the audience I am looking to target, I will do more research into what kind of thing people my kind of age like to watch in a documentary, and what they wouldn't find interesting. I can also show them the short documentary I have already made and gather advice on what they found good and what they thought could be improved. Below is a brainstorm of the kind of audience I would be looking to target, and what kind of documentaries that have already been made in order to fit this.
