Evaluation: Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

A target audience is something that needs to be thought about carefully so that you are able to include things within your media product that will appeal to your audience. There are several groups of audience which enjoy horror films and the films also have a variety of film ratings. A film rating is one way of selecting your taregt audience.

Here are the film ratings for the film openings we analysed:
When A Stranger Calls- 15
One Missed Call- 15
Scream- 18

For our film rating we've picked 15 because we wanted our target audience tio be able to talk about our film at college and school so that it becomes popular between a similar age/audience.

Our target audience are teens/late teens, C2, yet our film will be targetted towards a mainstream audience, and as a rating it would be '15' this is because there will be quite disturbing scenes which younger children would not be able to manage with. The teens would probably be people who look for gory films with low age ratings for them to go watch. Our characters are also quite young so this would appeal to them.
