Question 4: Who would be your audience for your media product?

This is Teddy. He is the typical person who would be interested in my film. He is aged 24, lives in the UK and the typical age for my audience would be people aged 18-29. Teddy watches various things but his favourite things to watch are Essex Boys, Layer Cake, Dexter, Green Street and Se7en. This means he likes films that are very similar to mine so he will enjoy the themes and genre of the film. Teddy's music taste is Indie rock, Rock and suspenseful which is perfect as my film has some Indie Rock and suspenseful music combined at the beginning and throughout.He has a normal job working as a cashier in Tesco and has never been in trouble with the police in his life yet he has developed a taste for gritty, thrillers and especially enjoys British gangster films as this allows him to escape his boring day to day life into a world of darkness and violence. He is fairly well educated and has a liking for dark themes such as murder or drug related crime as his life is so far away from these ideas that the excitement of being able to watch these kind of films allows him to understand how different some people live their lives to him.


The gender of my audience would be male as you can see from the IMDB website the thriller Se7en has many more males and females rating it and this is probably because of the dark and psychological themes to it and which is why i think my audience would be male because of dark, criminal themes that may seem more glamorous and stylised to males than females. The ratings for age on the website show that the age range for that film would be around 18-29 as i have highlighted and this shows that thrillers appeal to people who are of that age.





However in Layer Cake the audience who viewed it the most were people who are aged between 30-55 followed a close second by 18-29. This doesn't matter as it is still watched by my target audience and shows that the age group of 18-29 is a very general age of people who watch all kinds of thriller films. The gender of my film is shown again by Layer Cake having very male dominant ratings which emphasise the reason why males would enjoy my film. It also shows that males of a young age don't just enjoy one type of thriller like like ones from British gangster to a psychological thriller and this is what mine is a mix between so that is why male is the right choice as to what gender would like my film.
