1. Who would be the audience for your media product?
I believe Empire Magazine would be the appropriate magazine to feature my film in their
publication. This is because Empire Magazine is a well-established publisher founded in
1987 with their first released issue and is now the biggest selling film magazine in Britain.
Empire Magazine is populist in both approach and coverage and reviews mainstream films
and art films covering most genres including thriller.
My film would be aimed at an audience who enjoy physiological thriller aged 18 and above. I
believe the age rating for my film would be an 18 certificate if rated by the BBFC. This is
because it would feature very strong violence strong horror and strong blood and gore. This
magazine has a high base of customers aged 18 and over therefore this magazine would be
perfect giving my certificate. I would say the audience would be dominantly male as most
thriller films naturally appeal more to males oppose to females. It also features and an
attractive female main character which appeals to males as Goodwin's 6 point theory
'notion of looking'. This helps to sell the product to the target audience.

2. The main age range the film is targeting is 18-25 primarily students. This is because students
would like the horror element I have incorporated in my thriller. Students enjoy horror as it
is an interesting subject to talk about with their peers. This then has a chain reaction of
word of mouth, getting more and more people from that age range to watch the film.
The main female character is also of that age group making it more appealing as the target
audience can identify with the character more easily. As both Zoe Dean & David Williams
have just graduated and finding their path into adulthood.
Given my target audience of 18-25 dominantly male but also female primarily students
target audience. I believe it being would be appropriate to advertise it in Empire Magazine
as the target audience is a huge market. The age rage targeted is keen cinema enthusiasts
and Empire Magazine is already advertising films targeting at this market. Therefore it
would be a natural fit for them to advertise my production.

storyline well. It’s villain a psychotic clown is compelling, The Clown has a mysterious dark
