This document discusses the target audience for a media product. The target audience is identified as young adults aged 16-28 because they can associate more with the subject matter than older generations. The document contains two mood boards that show the target audience enjoys modern technology, fashionable clothing, socializing, video games, and television shows like EastEnders. Feedback on the film indicates it has an interesting plot and target audience but the mystery/enigma element needs to be less obvious. To attract the target audience of teenagers seeking thrill and adrenaline, the opening of the thriller film incorporates genre conventions like character archetypes, symbolic props and costumes, and a narrative sequence of mysterious events. Music and shot types are also used to build suspense.

Evalutation Questions 2, 4, 5 and 7
Our film attracted a 15-rated audience by researching what genres and film techniques 15-year-olds enjoy, such as vivid colors and mentally unstable characters. We conducted a survey that found people prefer psychological thrillers with unexpected elements like a female lead.

Manifesto A11
This document outlines 5 points about what makes for a successful film or television show:
1) There needs to be a connection between the characters and audience so viewers can relate to them.
2) Including an original score or soundtrack adds layers to the film that enhance the experience.
3) Clever writing that takes unexpected turns engages viewers more in the story.
4) Using unknown actors can work if the dialogue and story are compelling.
5) The primary objective in making a film should be passion for the project, not just financial profit. Money alone does not guarantee success.
EVALUATION 4: WHO WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT?
The document discusses identifying the target audience for a media product. It explains that teen films typically focus on themes relevant to teenagers like first love, conflict with parents, and coming of age. While some include more mature topics like pregnancy, drugs, violence and sex, expanding their audience to young adults as well. The targeted gender of the audience depends on the themes presented - films with romance and relationships usually target females, while those with violence, sex and drugs target males. Comedies and sci-fi films can appeal to both genders equally. The specific film discussed targets black girls ages 16 and older, as it addresses issues like poverty, single parenthood, loneliness through its plot, characters, music and urban location details.

Question 2 representing social groups
Ben, the main character, is portrayed as a normal 17-year-old teenager to represent and appeal to younger audiences. He is working class, dressed casually in jeans and a jumper to show that the events of the film could happen to anyone.

Question 1
The document summarizes the process a group took in developing a TV show for their target audience of 13-15 year old males. They started with audience research to understand preferences.

Character archetypes were based on common tropes, though they focused on one group rather than including all types.
Evaluation Criteria 5

Shots that alternated between happy and violent scenes helped the audience absorb the plot in this social realism genre film.
Evaluation
The document discusses the inspiration and creative decisions behind a student film project's opening title sequence.

They gave away the location immediately to add tension and bring the action closer to home for viewers. Through surveys, they aimed to develop a male antagonist and use stereotypes while breaking barriers like racial expectations. The opening was seen as important for setting the overall atmosphere and quality of the film.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
The target audience for the media product is people aged 16-25, as a college-based romantic comedy would be most relatable to those currently or recently in college. It aims for a mass audience, though possibly more appealing to middle/working class women than men. The film takes inspiration from Bunny and the Bull for its socially awkward male protagonist, and Easy A for its use of lies to seem more popular, keeping a video blog, and general romantic comedy genre. It would likely receive a PG rating from the BBFC for lacking sexual content, violence, swearing or substance abuse.

While the opening represents gender stereotypes through chivalrous behavior and selfie-taking, it subverts expectations by having the male character get kidnapped rather than the female character.
Pencil Productions pitch
Pencil Productions is planning a teen drama film based on audience research.

Question 1 evaluation
The document discusses how the film uses and challenges conventions of the anti-romantic comedy genre. It uses conventions like one partner being emotional while the other is emotionless, following the trope of the boy longing for the girl.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Evaluation
- 1. Q4. Who would be the audience for you media product? Our target audience is young adults (16-28) this is because we feel the older generation cant associate themselves with what has happened in the film and people of our generation will as it is based on a young man with a weird obsession. We feel like our target audience would like modern things like the latest iPhone, nice brands such as River Island or Topman and listen to upbeat music not classic or anything like that.
- 2. As you can see I have two mood boards here on male one female from a group of teenagers. As you can see they like the latest technology, new styles in clothing and socialising. We can see from this that boys like to play consoles like Xbox and the girls with all there fashionable accessories. We feel both genders are most likely to shop in more trendy shop and lastly think both will watch programmes such as eastenders.
- 3. Target Audience From our target audience we found out that we have some good stuff in our film and some we need to improve. Some of the good points are that we have interesting plot, very good target audience, good use of camera shots, suspenseful, good use of enigma, fits very well with the genre, had a very good twist, the use of camera shots. Some of the bad points from are feedback is that we need to not make the enigma so obvious.
- 4. Q5. How did you attract/ address your target audience? I feel thriller is mostly linked with teenagers as it is drilled with adrenaline and thrill what all young people seek for. Therefore are aim was to direct our thriller opening on what they like. 4 main sections to consider were; • Genre conventions • Media language • Music • Similarities with other films
- 5. Genre Conventions Genre convention consist of four sub sections which are: characters, iconography, narrative and themes. Firstly I will discuss the male character who plays a typical male character in a thriller where he appears to be a normal man who works but then we then find out he captures women. The women character also plays a typical part as she is stuck in a bad situation and is innocent.
- 6. Iconography Iconography is basically what you see one the screen; props, costumes, cars and mise on scene. I feel this was done well as the male character as OCD and because of that all the rooms are very tidy. Also iconography was used well on the girl character as she has her make up all over the place and has a rope around her. Lastly the car being black is a simple of bad/death which symbolises the male character.
- 7. Narrative The definition can simply be described as a series of events that take place over time. As this is an opening it wouldn’t have that much but in ours we see the man coming back from work like any other person would but then when he gets in his house we see he has tied a girl up. This makes the opening have more enigmas due to the capture of the girl.
- 8. Types Of Shots As you can see we have used a variety of shots throughout our opening to create more suspense. For example we used match on action at the beginning to show the man walking into his house, this is to show the audience where the scene is taking place. We also done a montage of the man getting changed for his meal, we done this to show his different personalities.
- 9. Music We used music to also add to the affect and add suspense to the film. Our music like an enigma and the audience is waiting out to find this enigma which is soon going to be revealed. I feel this music also is enjoyable for the target audience as I am of age group and I think it is very good.
- 10. Unique Selling Point I feel our unique selling point is the enigma as it is not something which is as obvious as other films and the characters in it also link in with our target audience which is also good as it makes them feel related.
