Evaluation Question 4 - Who would be the audience for you media product?

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Our media audience would most likely be the age demographic of 15 years and over due to the mature subject matter that surrounds the film. People who are under the age of 15 may not understand or be interested in the film due to their lack of understanding and interest in the British government and politics. Although our film is entirely fiction and human testing is almost certainly not being used by the government, there is still a deep-lying political consciousness surrounding the film, so we feel that this will intrigue the minds of people aged over 15.


 
Although our film is aimed at all people over the ages of 15, I feel like the supernatural element may alienate older audience who are not interested in films like ours. This is due to the completely fictional aspect of our film with the combination of human testing and the supernatural element of the entity that our protagonist sees. The slight horror element due to the mystery surrounding the supernatural character may categorise our film as a “horror-thriller”, again alienating the older audiences who do not get as much of a thrill from being scared. I feel like an older audience may be more interested in films that have a chance of being plausible, however I feel ours passes this boundary. For this reason I would state that our key demographic would be the age range of 15-45.

 
Finally, I feel like the slight action element to the film may disinterest female viewers and would appeal more to the male audience. I do not feel like there would be a huge gender split, but feel like their would be slightly more males interested in our films. I also feel like the graphic nature may also scare off the female viewers due to the gore scenes which may occur. This is a rather stereotypical view that women are more squeamish than men when it comes to gore and may not like watching films of that nature, but I do feel that it may stop some more female viewers than male viewers watching our film.
