Evaluation Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

The suited audience for our media product would be teenagers and young adults that show an interest in a film that conforms to the typical conventions of a crime film but would like it to be more engaging towards their age group as the lead character is also a teenager. The target audience for our film would need to have access to a computer or any other device that allows them to view social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram so that they can find out about the film. It is considered that the target audience for our film is a student that does not have a lot of money so the film would be available to view for free online, this would be another reason why the target audience needs to have a device that would allow them to access social media sites and online websites that could be an outsource for the product, websites such as Youtube and Vimeo which can be viewed on a phone, tablet as well as a computer. The target audience would need to have an existing taste in old detective films and have an understanding that the film would be a modern take on the typical traits and conventions of an old detective film. An example of a film that has similar traits to its genre but is aimed at a younger audience would be the 2011 film attack the block, which has similar traits to a regular science fiction film but is adapted to suit a younger audience.
