Who would be your audience for your media product?

I think the audience for out media product will be teenagers and adults, it is suitable for both female and males and the age range that I believe our pyschological thriller will attract more will be teenager aged 15 to 19 and perhaps young adults from the ages to 20 between 24. The reason that it is suitable for this is because they will understand the beginning and for younger years it will be to complicating for them to understand but also the elements of tension can cause fear for them.
We had previously aimed it at younger teens such as boys and girls ages 12-15 but soon realised that maybe young teens will not be fond of psychological thrillers or the elements towards it. Although the opening of the movie does not show violence overall the conventions of a psychological thriller involves strong language and partial nudity. Although this decreases our target market on the other hand it allows us to create further tension and does not limit us on what we can put in.

When asking others in our group using a focus group we realised that people would rather watch a psychological thriller with their peers as young teenager may not understand the concept of what is happening in the beginning of our movie and their behaviour will show otherwise. Our target market choice has made the choices of our opening movies much easier. The opening does not have to neccessarily be in chronological order and the transition or the effect of the opening that we have put in such as the dream effect will be understandble for them. The language in our movie is relatable to teenagers and this is why our opening was successful with our viewers.
