Evaluation Question 4. (Who would be the audience for your media product?)

Who would be the audience for your media product?

We have looked largely into this question throughout the course as it is a major factor that effected the creation of the product. Obviously as a movie opening title it's for people that have the luxury of a television or cinema access (obviously). Building on that though, we can gather gender, class, age, and taste.

 

AGE

 

As we have put our age rating as 15+ which means that the target audience is no one less than 15 years old. This means that the target audience age is older teenagers and young adults that are satisfied and aroused by the horror genre. Personally, this would be a perfect film for me as i am 17 and enjoy horror films and watching them with my friends. I personally think that it wouldnt be a movie someone would watch on their own, and instead with a group of peers or maybe something you may watch with a partner. A teenage couple would be perfect for this film as it would cause the two partners to comfort each other.

 

 

Gender

 

The target gender for this product isnt really specific as it's meant for both, however if i was to hazard a guess to who may be more likely to buy this product, it would probaby be male gender as the film would contain gore and graphic aspects that may be more appealling to the male population. However this would only be because of the gore, as girls might find it too disturbing but boys may want to watch it with their friends. I know i would.

 

 

Class

 



 

I would personally suggest that this product is focused on the C/D/E social class and it would attract occupations such as builders, shop workers etc. This would be because of the connotations associated with these class types. The 'lower-class' may be more attracted to this type of film because they may watch it with their friends in the evening after work and it's often suggested that 'upper-class' may find the product to have a lack of intellectual design.
