thoughts and opinions are. Without
knowing your target audience and what
they like and dislike, it will be extremely
hard to guarantee the success of the
product produced.
In relation to our genre, our group were
lucky that the main age range of are
target audience were at are sixth
form, therefore it was very easy to gain
feedback via questionnaire or through Questionnaire
