Evaluation Question 4

4 Who would be the audience for your media product?

 

We have decided that the audience of our media product is aged 15 to 50. This is because the age gap is large so there is a wider range of ages, meaning a large number of people to watch our film. Also with the audience starting at 15, teenagers will want to go watch the film with their friends and people who have teenagers will also be interested in the film. This increases the audience. We have chosen 15 as the minimum age because our film involves scenes of violence, death and some weapons are involved. This means that anybody under 15 may find these scenes distressing or upsetting  and we do not want to influence young people with the wrong message of 'killing is fine'. We chose %0 as our upper boundary because we believe that anyone above that age may find the film confusing or may lose interest/ not be interested in the film. Before we created the film we showed the storyline of our film to multiple age ranges. We found that teenagers and adults under 40 liked the concept the most and were interested to know what would happen next. We took this response and then used it to create the age range we have chosen.
