Evaluation question 4 

Who would be the audience for your media product?

I think that our target audience would be appealing to young adults and over. Our character isn’t particularly someone that the audience can relate to so this might make our film more intriguing because it’s not a normal thing people see all the time in media due to many enigmas we have used such as the briefcase and why she is looking at a map of different places in Europe.


However, I also think that middle aged people would also be interested in the film since it’s a thriller. I have looked into this researched and have found this table:

Table reference  from-   http://www.participations.org/Volume%209/Issue%202/4%20Redfern.pdf

This shows us that the age group of males that is most likely to watch a thriller is age 55 and over because that is the most popular age group from all the ages to want to watch a thriller. And within that category of males (55+) it is the 3rd most popular genre, it is followed by comedy which 171 55+ year old males voted for and also action/ adventure which also 171 55+ males voted for.

Furthermore, if we look at the females it has a similar result; that out of all the age groups, 55 and over females are more likely to watch a thriller out of all the other female age groups. And out of that age group of 55+ female audience it is the 2nd most popular genre which is followed by Drama which 220 55+ woman have voted for.

In conclusion, this research that I have done has been helpful because it has allowed me to see that our film may also appeal to older audiences as well as younger audiences that we were also trying to make our film appeal to.
