Who would be the audience for your media product?

For our final product we targeted our film to be for the ages of people from 15 to 24 year olds , this is because we found out from our research that this age group were the most common age group to genrally enjoy thrillers. We wanted to aim our thriller at age groups that we thought would enjoy it and watch it the most.

To target this age group we used all of our characters from the ages of 15 to 16 as this age group were the same as the group watching and would be a lot more thrilling if they could relate to the being simular to them. From our secondary

research which we found on Pearl and Dean . We wanted to know who are most common audience age group was going to be. To find this information out we

researched the comparable profiles of the films that inspired our ideas to create our movie , which were Taken 1 and 2 and The Strangers.

Taken

Our main ideas of inspiration were from Taken, on Pearl and Dean we found out on Taken’s comparable profile that 0 % of the age group that watched it were 14 and under have watched the film. We also found out from this secondary research that 15-24 year olds had the highest percentage which shows that they are the most common age group to be mostly intrested in our film, as we have a story line which is fairly simular. When researching the comparable profiles and from our primary research aswell I found out that 15-14 year olds are going to be the most popular age group to watch it and enjoy it. Our group decided this was right age range for our audience as we want ours to be a pj rating so that there is more sales so that younger people at the age of say 12 can also watch It with parents.

Target AudienceThis is Emily Reid. She is 16 years old and lives in Tadworth Surrey, she dresses with the latest trends and likes to keep up to date with all the styles. She normally just wears a pair or leggings and jeans and a top or jumper. She enjoys spending time with her friends and family and watching scary movies and chick flicks. Her favourite chick flicks are ‘White chicks’ , ‘Legally blonde’ and ‘ 17 again’. She goes to the cinema a lot with friends and sometimes goes to see the same movie two or three times if she really enjoys it , a movie she has seen this month was ‘Taken 2’ . On the weekends she likes to see friends and go shopping and attends a theatre school on a Saturday where she does dance , singing and drama for three hours. She shops in most high street shops were most teenagers shop like : topshop , republic , river island , h and m and many more. The tv programes that she enjoys the most are The only way is Essex , Glee , Eastenders , Made in Chelsea and many more. Emily enjoys mostly main stream music , and always likes what is in the charts. She also enjoys singing along and being silly to musical songs , as it is what she loves to do. I feel that our film would appeal to Emily as she is a very sterotypical girl who enjoys watching thrillers and horrors , and our film is simular to the films she says she likes.
