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

2. In the pitch for our film, we specified the target audience of our
film to be people aged 16-45; a wide age range, as we feel that
anyone who likes psychological thrillers would enjoy the
film, rather than it only appealing film to a certain age bracket.
We also aimed the piece at an ABC1 mainstreamer
audience, due to the psychological elements of the film, an
aspect that we believed would appeal to a higher social class
audience.
From our research, we found that the enigma code narrative of thriller films
tend to widely attract a male audience. We feel however that the lead female
character and the strong relationship between the Darius and Lisa will also
attract a female audience, as it is not entirely guns, explosions and typically
‘manly’ narratives and props.

3. The rating for our film is a
certificate 12A. We originally
planned for it to be a 15 certificate,
but decided that, accompanied by
an adult, this film would be
suitable for ages 12 and upwards.
We chose this certificate because
of the central themes of our film; it
contains main plotlines that
involve murder, kidnapping and
use of weapons. In addition to this,
there is use of bad language at
times, and sustained threat. For
this reason we felt that the film
would not be appropriate for a
younger audience. Furthermore,
we believe that a younger
audience may have trouble
grasping the plotline of the film,
and therefore would not enjoy it
anyway, not understanding what is
going on, or being able to follow
the psychological aspects of the
film

4. By closely analysing similar films to ours from the thriller genre, we were
able to specify our audience more easily. We found that fans of films
such as those shown above, would be people who enjoy key aspects of
the thriller genre such as suspense, action, and surprising twists and
turns, and so tried to include these elements in our film. Therefore we
can suggest that our audience is anyone who enjoy films that exercise
key elements of the thriller genre.
