EVALUATION ACTIVITY 4. Who would be the audience for media product? What rating would the BBFC give our thriller? We think the BBFC would give our thriller an age rating of 15. This is due to the nature of our thriller and the props used in it. We believe this would structure our target audience in a good way as we were targeting the age range of 15 and upwards. We targeted this age as we find that these are the people with the most free time to do things like go to the cinema with their friends and watch a thriller like ours.

A male in our primary target audience. Name: Lee Smith Gender: Male Age: 17 Born: UK Education: Sixth form (A-level student) Subjects: Business Studies, Economics, Philosophy Interests: As a teenager, I enjoy social time with my friends; we tend to go to leisure places such as golf courses, football Astros and swimming. I also enjoy attending the cinema. I have several social media sites that I use to communicate with my friends and family and keep me up to date with things going on in the world. Favorite movies: As a teenager I enjoy tense gripping thrillers to get me thinking, I enjoy being on the edge of my seat. So in this case some of my favorite films are Taken, The Woman in Black and Skyfall. That being said I also really enjoy watching comedy movies that make me laugh and give me and my friends something to talk about. I tend to watch films either with my friends at home or we go to the cinema for something to do for social time. Favorite music/artists: My favorite style of music is usually whatever is in the top 40 UK charts. If I had to be more specific, I would say that R&B is my favorite style but this doesnt mean that I dont like listening to other genres. Favorite TV shows: My favorite TV series are again ones that grip me and make me want to watch the new episode each week, as frustrating as it may be; I love series that give out cliff hangers in order to make me think about what could happen the following week. I enjoy crime series the most because I feel they are tense and most are based on real life situations. Examples of my faviroute TV shows would be Broad church and Breaking bad. Audience. When referring to people may not wanting to watch our thriller, this category of people could be a more adolesent audience. People who are younger and not yet able to fully understand proper conventions and codes of a thriller. This audience may just be plain scared of the given situation and not fully understand the connotations that the story line holds. Similarily, people of a much older generation may not fully understand these contextual factors as they do not have any knowledge on the connotations.
