Final Evaluation: Question 4

Q4: Who would be the audience for your media product?

The ideal audience for our media product would be mainly young adults - male or female, Although it could easily branch out to the older generation also. The context of our film has the ability to be flexible to a variation of ages as stated above. I feel this way because a range of themes are covered within our product that appeal to a mass audience, the themes cover things from kidnap to a more complex psychology side of things, for example; we see the main character slowly start to loose her wits and deteriorate. We felt that the film wouldn't really be appropriate for anyone under the age of 12 as the themes may be a little distressing to anyone younger and it could be difficult for them to follow with the flashbacks and such. Although there is no graphic violence or actual footage of sexual content etc within the short clip we produced, there may have been if we were to have made a full length film, again enforcing the idea that it wouldn't have been suitable for anyone under the age of 12. We decided that if we were to involve violence, drugs, sexual content or anything along those lines, that it would not be graphic as that means we would have had to raise the age limit to 18, which obviously reduces the amount of people that would be able to watch our film. I feel we were successful in the fact that our film is relatable to the age group we were aiming to attract.
