This document discusses the target audience for a 15-rated media production. It analyzes that the target audience would primarily be males ages 15-25, based on the violent and drug-related content. Typical interests of this audience would be video games, music, socializing with friends. Both male and female target audiences in this age range are discussed, noting they both enjoy thriller films. The production is compared to the film "The Call" which also involves a distressed female, and it is argued this genre and type of storyline would appeal to the target 15-25 male and female audience.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.
# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

Completed media question four
1. Task evaluation – Question 4
Who would be the
audience for your
media product?
2. We thought 15 would be appropriate if we were to make the whole film due to the
violent nature at the end of our production and throughout the piece the different
topics that are covered.
Classification
The audience for our media production would be probably 15+. We came
up with this classification based upon the grounds that the British board of
Film Classification rule in their age rating system.
What might I see in a 15 rated film or video?
Any of the following:
>strong violence
> frequent strong language (e.g. 'f***').
>portrayals of sexual activity
>strong verbal references to sex
>sexual nudity
>brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal
references to sexual violence
>discriminatory language or behaviour
>drug taking
Here we see that, in
our production the
majority of these
guidelines aren’t
involved because
it’s a thriller.
Therefore, if we did
involve some of
these things then
the aspect of typical
thriller conventions
wouldn’t exist.
It’s also clearly
indicated that no
strong language is used
due to the fact it’s all
silent at the start as a
tool to create a tense,
mysterious
atmosphere.
But, the reason it is
classified as a 15 is due
to the drug taking.
Although involuntarily,
it would be damaging
for someone under the
age of 15 to see things
like this happen.
3. Gender
We thought that our piece does primarily attract males. This
is due to the violent side of our production and gender
stereotypes.
Age
Interests/hobbies
Because we thought the perfect audience would be a male person, we thought that their
interests would range for typical male type hobbies.
For example – playing the xbox, listening to music and socialising with friends. Alongside
this, we thought fairly intellectual due to the fact its a thriller and not just a horror, which
consequently means that there has to be some mystery to the plot meaning someone has
to be clever enough to piece it together.
Regarding age, we decided that late teenager (15+ due to the rating of the film) leading
the mid 20’s. This is because for that age group we thought the content of the production
was fairly relatable (involving pubs etc).
4. Demographic Profile of target audience member.
Enjoys explicit content
which would be found in
a 15 rated film.
Typical teenage boy
with messy bed,
reinforces the idea
that it would be for
his age as typically
boys are into
thrillers and horror.
Music taste
suggests he’s
into hard-core
rock which could
be linked to the
same hard-
hitting genre of
our production –
a thriller.
OVERVIEW: Typically ages 15-25, with the median age of around 19. Would be
stereotypically into male things; Xbox, football and socialising i.e. nights out with friends and
going to the pub etc. Probably doesn’t focus on their clothes/fashion and instead spends
their money on going out and on games etc.
5. Demographic Profile of another target audience member.
Girls also enjoy watching thrillers just as much as men.
We thought that
the girl watching
the thriller would
be on her own, and
would enjoy getting
scared and tense
over a film.
OVERVIEW: Typically ages 15-25, with the median age of around 19. Would be
stereotypically into tom-boyish things, like football but also into their girly things
like painting nails etc.
6. Here we see that both the people have the same age
range, with the median age being 19. This shows a
clear correlation that people of this age enjoy this
genre of film.
People of 19 years of age would be typically leaving college
so either at university (the majority) or working. This
works with releasing the film because people of this age
would typically go to the cinema for a social day out,
meaning this targets the audience if we were to release it
in the cinema.
7. We thought our production linked very well the real film ‘The Call’. This is because
the ‘damsel in distress’ situation is similar.
9. We used this as a basis for our
production and this allowed us to use the
typical thriller conventions of an
equilibrium at the start of the production
which is seen in every typical thriller- this
could be something our target audience
relates to (having a drink with a friend).
Then following on from this leading on to
the actual action of the movie.
