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

We as a group decided to focus on people aged around 16 - 24, we gave all our questionnaires to people of this age. We focused on this group because a lot of people this age like action thriller films. We've put our audience straight in where the action starts to make sure they are engaged and asking questions from the very beginning. Our target market is made up of people from a working class background. This is represented through the use of location and setting, the area we chose to film looks industrial and rough, which is an area that you don't associate with the upper class. However we see a man in a very nice cut and styled suit. Therefore the audience are asking questions about the actors and the situation the have found themselves in. As a group we have aspired and analysed films such a 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Se7en' and 'The dissapearence of Alice Creed' which are very gritty and adrenaline packed films, we looked particularly at these films because they attract a similar audience and they give the audience the same adrenaline rush when they watch them as we want our audience to feel watching our film. For exapamle in 'Alice Creed' we see clear moments of very face paced editing...

Which we then also see this fast paced editing in moments of panic in our film...

 

The fast editing makes the film seem alot more adrenaline packed therefore relating to the audience we are trying to achieve. Finally we made our film with actors who are similar ages to the audience we want to attract, this is so the audience can relate to the characters and really get into the life of the main girl and understand what might of driven her to this or what might make her so strong as to find out why she has been framed.

This screen cast shows a few films that we were inspired by and that have the same audience that we wish to target, some of the pictures in the screen cast are from our film and as you can see they are not so different from the films we have analysed. Seeing these pictures all together shows that our film will appeal to the same type of audience because our film is very similar in the camera shots we have used and the costumes and blood that is conveyed in all films.
