Evaluation Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

 Our media product is aimed towards the middle to lower class citizens (the average social working class that is a majority of the population); as our setting is filmed in a dark alley way, which would be based near train stations and restaurants which is associated with the everyday life of our target audience, if we were aiming for the higher class citizens then we would have set our film within a high class estate or a posh well known hotel or club. We felt that we could relate to a wider range of audience if we set our media product within a place that a majority of people can relate to, that are similar to ourselves, to make it easier to reach out and connect with our target audience.

Our target audience for this film would range from the age 15-21. Throughout the sequence the point of view shot is always focused on the protagonist character which is a female, so therefore the main audience would be males, but with horror films being known as the ideal 'date movie' with girlfriends either dragging their boyfriend along to hide behind or with an attractive female for the males to look at it would broach a wider audience and be appealing to both sexes likewise. 

We had asked some of our target audience to name a few of their favourite films, out of all the films that were named we found that these were the most popular.

In no particular order

1) Harry Potter

2) X-men - The Last Stand

3) Scream

4) The Fast And Furious

5) Saw

There is a wide range of favourite films, but most of them are 'thrillers'. We chose this target audience because they are at the age in which they can watch the film and relate to it, since this could happen to anybody at any time.
