question 4-Neve

4. who would be the audience for your media product?

The target audience for our media product is 15-24 both genders that are interested in thriller films, we have decided to target this audience because this age tend to be interested in thriller films, this audience are likely to be able to relate to the character with his mental health as mental health is most common in younger people however it will come in different forms. the audience is also a similar age to our main character. we choose to target this audience because they are most likely to watch thrillers. This age audience are also. using this website http://business.pearlanddean.com/films_guide
it seems that our film would fit the focus 15-24 (male and female) because the thriller storyline isn't aimed at men or women, it has parts which will interest both genders.

our thriller would be unsuitable for anyone under the age of 15 as it heavily implies that our character has previously done drugs, the mental health aspect may not appeal to younger audience as to understand it fully you may have to of learnt about it or heard about it to fully understand what mental health problem he has, we haven't said he is schizophrenic so it is ideal that the audience have knowledge of mental health.

Age ratings from British board of film classification (BBFC)

Or thriller has aspects that would be considered an age rating of 15 such as drug taking this isn't filmed however it is heavily implied, their is also reference to violence and self harm which could upset some viewers. our thriller also has aspects of a 12a such as drug misuse, dangerous behaviour, anti social behaviour, due to our storyline being about mental illness we decided to make the target audience older than a 12a as it may be upsetting for viewers.

what other films would/do they like? (red is 15-24 focus)

The table of the pearl and dean website suggests that our target audience would be interested in films such as 'bad neighbours 2', 'warcraft:the beginning', 'gods of egypt','jane got a gun' analysing these titles it suggests they are also thriller or action based films which suggests that our thriller is targeted at the right audience. many 15-24 years old liked Jame's bond films, the revenant and similar.
