Evaluation Q4. Who would be the audience for your media product? On my research into the film classification guidelines, I found that since our main task contains elements of horror and violence for example towards the end of the opening sequence when the protagonist is being dragged away, I feel that our film is only suitable to those aged 15 and above. Also I did some research on the target audience for the particular sub-genre and found that it attracts people from 15-20. Consequently I think that this would be the ideal audience for our product. Also, the fact that the characters in the film are around the same age, it will attract that particular audience more as they can relate to them because they usually go through the same routines and lifestyle such as going out to parties and talking on the phone quite a lot. Additionally along with similar age groups, they would also relate to the objects that are displayed in the panning of the protagonist’s bedroom. For example the computer she has and other technologies including the radio signify the commonplace items that are regularly used by teenagers. Overall, the plot can be more accessible to this age group because the protagonist is around the same age and the plot focuses mainly on the daily life and hassles of a seemingly normal teenager. The film may be close to their normal lives henceforth increasing their fear as they may think the same thing could happen to them.

EvaluationQ4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

On my research into the film classification guidelines, I found that since our main task contains elements of horror and violence for example towards the end of the opening sequence when the protagonist is being dragged away, I feel that our film is only suitable to those aged 15 and above. Also I did some research on the target audience for the particular sub-genre and found that it attracts people from 15-20. Consequently I think that this would be the ideal audience for our product. Also, the fact that the characters in the film are around the same age, it will attract that particular audience more as they can relate to them because they usually go through the same routines and lifestyle such as going out to parties and talking on the phone quite a lot.

Additionally along with similar age groups, they would also relate to the objects that are displayed in the panning of the protagonist’s bedroom. For example the computer she has and other technologies including the radio signify the commonplace items that are regularly used by teenagers.

Overall, the plot can be more accessible to this age group because the protagonist is around the same age and the plot focuses mainly on the daily life and hassles of a seemingly normal teenager. The film may be close to their normal lives henceforth increasing their fear as they may think the same thing could happen to them.
