Q4 : Who would be the audience for your product?

The main audience we wanted to attract to our media product would be teenagers or young adults of around the ages 15 to mid 30's. This is because many of the current or recent horror/mystery films in cinemas are mostly seen by young adults in couples or within groups of girls or boys.

We thought to aim the film at both females and males as the film is not of a genre where it is mainly interesting for females, for example Mamma Mia and therefore both will find the storyline interesting.

I should think our films will be targeted at the middle class citizens; this is because it will be affordable for them in cinemas and also on DVD. Also, as a teenager myself I know that people of my age are starting to drive and have solid jobs which can pay for things like cars, smartphones etc.. which are a great way of getting publicity for our film. Also, young people will be excited at the all the new accsessable places they can go and a cinema is one place they can take their friends as say a celebration for passing. 

Every minute of everyday 100,000 tweets, 684,478 pieces of content on facebook and 3600 photos on instagram are shared over the internet. The majority of content shared on the worldwide internet is published by young people as they are more connected in the modern world and this is mainly why we have chosen the younger generation as our film will be talked about by many more people and this may be seen by other young people which will hopefully encourage them to go to the cinema to watch Reprisal.

 The victim in the film is a young girl of a middle class background which means the middle class can relate to the victim in the storyline.



5 Daughters BBC Programme

Our audience is aimed at the type of people that would watch other mystery/horror TV Dramas. For Example, the TV show where we got our inspiration for the background news report from 'Five Duaghters' on BBC which was a true the true story of the five girls who were murdered by a serial killer called Steve Wright. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipswich_serial_murders

Our audience won’t need to be the brightest of people however they will need to have some educational background and standard knowledge of basic English to be able to enjoy the film.
