EVALUATION: Q4
Who would be the audience for your media product?
My thriller film was originally targeted at 15-24 year olds, however since the development of the opening and the style of the final product, it seems much more appropriate for it to be aimed at a more mature audience. Although the film would still be rated 15, I don't think younger teenagers would be interested in watching the film because no aspect of the film relates to teenagers - it deals with a man who has lost his child and is attempting to cope with his grief. My new target audience would be 21+, because they are old enough to understand the mature themes within the film and also may have children of themselves, so they are more likely to be enticed by the themes of the thriller.
After showing the rest of my class the final product, we all agreed that not only was it aimed at more mature people, but it also would appeal to the female gender more. This is because men are more interested with thrillers which are either fast-paced, such as action and crime thrillers, or those which have elements of horror in them too, because gore tends to attract males more than females. Our film does not encompass these elements, and so it would appeal to females more.
I created a questionnaire as a way of discovering what people thought of my film opening. Here is a short powerpoint movie to show my results -
