question 4 - who would be the audience for your product?
DESCRIPTION
Question 4 of the Media Studies evaluation for AS Media Studies G321.TRANSCRIPT
WHO WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR YOUR PRODUCT?
Ben Trangmar
TARGET AUDIENCE
• As a group we decided our target audience should be...
15-25 YEAR OLD MALES• This audience was easy for us to communicate
with, and fits easily with our genres.
WHY NOT ANOTHER AUDIENCE?
• FEMALE –– Less likely to enjoy the thriller aspects
• <15 YEARS OLD –– Perhaps unable to understand what is going on
• >25-30 YEARS OLD –– May not enjoy the darker themes/tone
15-25 YEAR OLD MALES
• This audience group typically enjoy thrillers and action movies such as:
Psychological Thriller
Action Thriller
AUDIENCE RESPONSE
• The audience generally enjoyed the piece, with most saying they would watch on.
• They agreed that the tension was well-constructed and the enigmas were interesting.
DOES THE TARGET AUDIENCE FIT OUR PRODUCT?
• The issue of mental health is perhaps a bit mature for younger audience members in our target audience age group.
• The slow pacing and lack of anything exciting going on may also deter younger members of the audience.
• For these reasons it is likely the majority audience for the product will be 18-30 year olds with some younger audience members as well.
CONCLUSION
• The audience would mostly be 18+ year old males as the psychological thriller is less appealing to younger or female audiences.
• However audience tastes are not constant and so it is entirely likely that members outside of our target audience will enjoy the product too.
