Who would be the audience for your media product?

The chosen audience for our media product would be an audience that fits in the age range of 15+, this is because it is a dark thriller that wouldn’t be suitable for a younger audience, and if we were to carry on from the first two minutes of the film it would have been pretty complex which young minds wouldn’t understand. Most 15+ girls would be interested in our media product because it includes two female best friends and not only is it terrifying it is also sad and most girls love a sad story (tear jerker). In the first two minutes of our film we tried to show many flashbacks so that the audience would be intrigued so find out more, and to find out why there was two girls swinging happily on a swing and now there’s one all alone. If our media product was continued it would also have shown lots more of flashbacks of the girl’s memories and happy times, then it would fade back into the sad reality of how life is like now.

We are aiming for a mass audience as the thriller genre is very popular and has a huge audience of boys and girls. People who are excited by physiological thrillers and films that build up fear would be most suitable for our media product.

Our media product is especially aimed at an audience who likes thrillers and likes films that keep them guessing and wondering. A thriller which almost relates to our theme and age range is “when a stranger calls”. This thriller is about a stalker and a victim almost like ours; the tension increasingly builds up, and leaves the audience wanting more because of its intense terror.
