Question 4-Who would be the audience for your media product?

For our thriller, my group and I believe it should be from the ages of 16-25 and mainly ‘Males’ for various reasons. One reason is that the film is youthful which means that the audience can take in and relate to what the actors are doing. Reasons why the audience could be males because, it shows their dominance over the subordinates. In the film, we clearly see that the male is dominant and the woman is subordinate which means it could appeal to them more. It also shows the power they have which they may want to relate to within the film. The target audience for the film could also be working- class people. This is by the way the characters are dressed which means they could relate to easier. At the same time, I would have enjoyed for the film to be present to wider age groups, but that means they may not be able to relate to the film due to it being very youthful. Also, all the characters are youths which wouldn't appeal to some people. Another thing is that the target audience is people that are interested in watching film with a lot of action. This would prevent too much dialogue because the film is mainly based on the viewer understanding and acknowledging the surroundings of the film. We also believe that our audience is the perfect option because they may understand deeply how the characters feel. This is mainly because they are able to relate to them.

At the same time, our film could be targeted at people who enjoy watching thrillers, so this could over the age of 25. People may be used to watching thrillers and the excitement they have within them. E.g. the usage of the sub-genre. They may enjoy the fact that we have mixed action with our thriller which would attract them more. On the other hand, we realised that our audience may vary so it could actually be from the ages of 11-25. Reasons for this are because 11 is the age children start secondary school. Secondary school students will be an ideally audience to watch this film because it is the time they start to mature and understand what the film is all about. This means that they should be able to understand the fast pace of the movie and twists that come along with it.

We have also used the audience which where directed at Kidulthood and Adulthood. This means that this audience would automatically be attracted to our film.

Also by the fact that more people of the ages of 16-25 answered my questionnaire, it would have been ideally to create the film directed at them. 

Also, due to more people of the ages of 16-25 answering our questionnaire means that it would have been ideally to aim it at that age group.
