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

The age rating for our media opening would be 15+ and the target audience would be mainly male as they are the ones that can relate with the characters but it could appeal to any gender if they were interested in the thriller genre and the plot appealed to them.

This was reflected in my survey response, where people from our target audience were asked to watch our opening and fill in my questionnaire. They were mainly males aged 16/17 but there were also a few females as well. Their interests were mainly music, computers and socialising with friends.

I chose this particular target audience because I feel that I am a part of that audience and so I will be able to understand the features that viewers will want to see and will be interested in.

- How does your thriller appeal to them? in what ways? why would they go and see it

Similar films to our thriller are:

IMDB Plot: "A frustrated man decides to take justice into his own hands after a plea bargain sets one of his family's killers free. He targets not only the killer but also the district attorney and others involved in the deal."

This film is mainly for young adults but it does appeal to older teenagers as well because the story line grips the audience and make the viewers feel for the character.

IMDB Plot: "A former neo-nazi skinhead tries to prevent his younger brother from going down the same wrong path that he did."

The plot in this movie differs from most films, it is not your usual film about killing, stealing and crime. It has deep meaning and because of this originality the audience are interested to see what happens. The main audience for this film are people aged 18+ this is because to appreciate the deeper meaning of the story you have to read between the lines.
