HOW DID YOU ATTRACT/ ADDRESS YOUR AUDIENCE?

 

Evaluation - Question 4

WHO WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT?

 

• The opening sequence does not hint at any scenes that would be deemed inappropriate for an audience 12 or older to view as although a threat is signified, no physical harm or glorification of unnacceptable behaviour is shown (information obtained from www.bbfc.co.uk)
• I would expect the audience however to be of slightly older teenagers/ young adults as my questionnaire research was based on results from an average of 16 and 17 year olds so my product was originally planned to suit their preferred answers
• The hint at possible gang culture or a physical threat to the character fits more into the genre of an action/ chase based thriller, possibly suiting a male audience more.
 
Films such as The Tourist (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, 2010) also have the 12a rating, an action based plot with a lighter theme in constrast to other thrillers.
 

 
Another film that has a teenage based cast whilst having certain differences to my film is The Spiderwick Chronicles (Mark Waters, 2008)
This film has a rating PG however it has a more fiction based plot in the theme of mythical creatures meaning the audience would be slightly younger than intended for my product.

WHAT KIND OF MEDIA INSTITUTION MIGHT DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT AND WHY?

 

 

Evaluation - Question 2

HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS?

 

• The setting location of the house with the props such as an iPod and guitar signify the main character is not living in poor conditions putting across the fact he is just an average teenager with his own interests and hobbies.

 

• The main character is wearing a hoodie and joggers linking in with the character walking up the drive who is dressed in tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie. These clothes suggest they possibly belong to a gang or group that is involved in activities that require more practical clothing, the avoidance of jeans or more fashion focused shirts, jackets that many peers their age wear emphasizing this.
