Evaluation Questions- Question 4

Who would be the audience for our media product?

I have made a film in a thriller genre as it contains a lot of action and typical thriller features. I think that teenagers and young adults, both girl and boys,  in the age group 16-24 would like our film because it contains lots of suspense and tension which would create an adrenaline rush for them. Teenagers and adults like this thrill they experience from thriller films and like to watch them with their friends. Also watching thriller films may make teenagers feel like they are growing up. However it depends on the personality of the person. A person who loves action, suspense and real life problems being represented in films would like our film but a timid, quiet person who gets scared easily would probably not enjoy it. 

As the film is aged 16-24 we have included mature themes with strong language and contents. Our film includes aspect of violence, crime and action, however also contains sensitive topics such as abduction, rape, abuse, alcohol use and drug taking as what happened to the girl occured from her leaving her friends while intoxicated. Some people may not like or agree with films of these nature and feel uncomfortable viewing but others may like it because it brings in a sense of reality and makes you aware to what actually occurs in the real world. The audience would have to be mature and be able to deal with the sensitive subject. The film probably wouldn't be enjoyed in the sense of it being so hard-hitting and including these sort of topics but a mature audience would find it emotional and makes them aware of the society they live in, which they may relate to or have related to in the past.

Girls are more likely to enjoy thrillers that include a couple or an element of romance which usually turns for the worse. An example is the film Fear which features a new couple but his dark past causes the thriller to turn violent. Also I think girls would like thrillers that has the victim as a female because they could maybe relate to her and it would raise their awareness. Boys are more likely to enjoy thrillers where the male is the protagonist, meaning they are a strong dominant character who has higher than the women who needs to be saved by the male for example Taken. 

Social class is also likely to have an effect on what sort of people watch our film. People from the working class are more likely to watch than people of a higher class. This is because the underage use of drugs and alcohol are more assosiated with people of the working class. Also people in the higher class have probably been protected from hearing about problems, such as rape, by their parents. Also they are probably less likely to ever experience these problems as they are so protected and controlled by their parents where as working class teenagers are probably less protected and have more freedom so hear about these problems happening close to home more often.



The favourite dishes included: king prawn butterfly, thai chicken stir fry, chicken pathia and singapore styled fried rice. 



I disagree with the fact that 40-59 year old females are most likely to watch a film similar to ours. This is because our film would include strong language and contents, people of this age may find it inappropriate and they probably don't enjoy having an adrenaline rush like teenagers and young adults do. 
However I do agree that people who watch our film would have a sensible personality because our film is very sensitive and it may be too much for other people to handle but sensible people would handle it in a mature manner. I also agree that their monthly spare amount of money would be less than £125 as people of this age are going to university or just starting a job so they wouldnt have much money spare. 

I think that 16-24 year old females would be more likely to watch our film. I think their hobbies would be more likely to be activites that people of this age group would do, for example socializing with friends, going to the gym, partying etc rather than quizzes and scrabble. I think their pets would be more interesting and lively animals like dogs as people that age would probably find fish boring. I think their interests would be beauty and grooming and fashion design and cosmetics like on that profile because young people, women especially, do take great interest and looking their best.
