1. Question 4
Who would be the audience for your media product, and how did you
attract/address your audience?
2. Research
The target audience for a thriller is usually either 16+ or 18+ this is due to
thrillers typically containing strong themes of violence, sex or psychological
issues, which may be disturbing for younger viewers.
I researched that my target audience spend most of their money on clothes,
jewellery, food, sports equipment and entertainment.
Films with a similar target audience include:
Gone girl
Psycho
Taken
Inception
Before I go to sleep
3. My target audience:
I have decided that my target audience will be typically females but males too,
between the ages of 15 and 26, but also adults with children between the ages of
15 and 26.
Although the audience may not be able to relate to the kidnapping of the story
line, they may be able to relate to the friendship Amy and Tiffany share, or
perhaps to the characters personalities.
The gap between my target audiences is rather large, but that’s because most
people tend to enjoy thrillers. Also, my two main characters are between the
ages of 15-26 so this makes my film relatable.
