Who would be the audience for your media product?

The general age for our intended audience would be between 16 and 25 as the people between that age gaps are more likely to enjoy and appreciate it more because it is dealing with issues that teenagers may be dealing with. They will be able to see themselves in the protagonist’s position and relate to the situations they are in. Furthermore, the genre of our film often appeals to 16 to 15 year olds because they like unusual horror like films. The reason why we stretched the intended age to 25 is because we believe people of this age can still relate to what they went through when they were growing up and might appeal to them if they are reminiscent of the their younger less mature days. Our film would probably appeal to females more than males, as all our characters are female and they will be able to put themselves in their shoes. We took inspiration from different films and experimented with different genres before settling with a psychological thriller’s such as Shutter Island. We found that shutter island has an older audience, but could appeal to a female audience as it has emotional aspects to it. We did a audience profile on our blog and all our group agreed on the same audience.
