The Boat That Rocked - Questions

1. Who were the intended audience?
I would say people aged 15+. There are a few young characters such as the Godson in the film and this encourages a younger audience. However older people may also be part of the intended audience as well.

2. How can you tell?
Older people as they may remember the pirate radio stations and so can relate to the whole concept of the film more.There is also mild swearing which may only be appropriate for mature audiences of 15+.

3. How is the Comedy created?
Comedy is created in many ways such as the way the characters engage with each other. A key way in which comedy is created is through the use of contrast which is very obvious and predominant in the characters. The Godson seems quite introverted, sensible and shy and he is brought into a loud, fast-paced and almost chaotic environment in which he has to adapt to.

4. In your opinion, how does it conform to a typical WT film?
Like typical Working Title films, 'The Boat that Rocked' creates a very British atmosphere, for example at the beginning of the film an establishing shot is used to highlight key British landmarks such as 10 downing street. The accent in which they talk is cockney, typical British sounding and this shows aspects the British regional identity.
