• Who would be the audience for your media product?



We started an audience research programme to find out what our target audience would appreciate seeing in our thriller. I asked people from the age group of 15 years old to 18. I found that the target audience would like to see a crime thriller above any other subgenre also that they would prefer a fast paced thriller. With these questionnaire results we had re-enforced our view on sound being the most important part of a thriller film, as 80% of the questionnaire participants agreed. The results of my questionnaire sparked our ideas in to the films aspects. With my audience research in mind the audience would consist of a wide range of ages from around 15 onwards as I don’t think a certain age group would be the majority of the people who would want to go and see it. Also the audience would most likely to be people who have an enthusiasm for the thriller crime genre. Thirdly I don’t think that the film would rely on a certain gender. It is a possibility that male population are more likely to come and see the film as they are represented in the film as gritty rebellious high class men, and feel that they want to relate to the film, as they seem that they want to experience a life with adventure. On the other hand the young girl population could also relate to the young girl who appears in our film, and as this young girl is shown as a low class vulnerable, and would seem that she will experience a traumatic experience in the film. The young females of the public wouldn’t want to relate themselves to this character.
