Media Evaluation - question 4.

Who would the main audience for your media product?

The target audience for our film is ages 15-25 year old's this covers the teenage years but I think that older people will also be interest in the film because of the way that it has been set out.  As it contains flashbacks it makes people wonder what is going to happen and what’s the point about it, this I think will interest people the most.

The age limit that we have put onto this film is 15, the reason that we have done this is because had we gone on to make the rest of the film than it would have contained more detailed and graphic scenes that would not be suitable for a younger audience. 

It was shown through the questionnaire that we gave out to people that were aged within this target audience  that one aspect of films that some people liked was flashbacks which is what gave us the inspiration to use them. From the 20 people that the questionnaires were given to 16 of them said that they would like too flash backs used within the film. It also gave us an insight into what narrative style they would want to be used and this was the winner out of the options that were given. 

One of the ways that we have attracted our audience is by the music we used, it has an up-tempo beat which I think attracts our target audience as it is catchy, meaning that they will want to listen which means they will also watch. 

The location in which we filmed is another way that the audience could be attracted, because it is in the middle of nowhere with very little civilization around, which I think that will entice people as to what is happening, and why they are in such an unusual place. 

Our characters are all aged between 15-19 therefore allowing the majority of the target audience to be able to identity with the characters, and those who are older will be able to think back to when they were that old and relate their experiences to those of what the characters are having.  

 This is an example of a girl that would fit into our target audience, she would be able to compare here own life to the characters.
