Evaluation 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

   Our audience for our media product will be a combination of males and females with the age range of about 15-25. This is because of what is included in the film - like a paranoia effect on the back of your mind ( so your mind playing tricks on you ). As well as the language content is quite vigorous as its an intense film but yet easy to understand- so any one over the age of 15 would be able to understand the film and the language. We initially decided to aim our film at the age range of 15 to 25. We was going to aim it at teenagers (ages of 12-18 ) but we soon realized that not all of them would want  to see the same thing and some people might feel disappointed if they don't see anything that they are legally allowed too- so because of this we had to change our target audience to make it more appropriate.
   

  A major contribution to our decision on the target audience was the other people that were in our group and that also did media- they said that they would prefer to watch a film what consisted of people their own age. We also told them the genre that we was doing and one that we was also considering-these were; horror and a psychological thriller. The majority of the people that we asked said that they liked the psychological thriller idea more so that is the one that we went to according to our target audience.

     With our target audience liking the  fact that we was going to be doing a psychological thriller made the choice a lot easier as with this genre you can have more dramatic transitions and then the conventions would just fit in perfectly! The language and the film story board fitted our target audiences minds so it was the right decision and it looked like we succeeded especially with having the same language of the youth of today.
