The primary audience for the media product is teenage boys aged 13-19, as they generally prefer action and thriller films more than girls. However, the film also aims to attract females by featuring a female sniper, reversing the stereotype. The film also targets young adult males who have recently finished university. Feedback from 16-18 year olds confirmed they enjoyed the opening scene. The film will attract its target teenage male audience through the inclusion of cars, guns, and violence, which research shows this age group enjoys. The film would receive a 15 certificate from the British Board of Film Classification due to the level of violence.

audience for your
media product?

2.  Our primary audience that we were aiming for in our
opening scene were teenage boys between the ages of 13 and
19. In general, boys prefer action/ thriller films more than
girls and so that's why we aimed it at a male audience rather
than a female one. However, there are definitely some
females who do like action films (myself being one of them)
and so by using a female penis actor to play the character of
the sniper, we hoped to attract more females to this film as it
reverses the stereotype of the classic male fighter. This film is
not only for teenagers. It is also aimed at young male adults
who have just entered the working world after leaving
university.
 From our audience feedback (aimed at 16-18) year olds, its
clear that they all enjoyed the opening to the thriller and so
this gives us a clearer understanding and also further
knowledge that this is the audience we are aiming at.

3. Boys aged 13-19 love cars and guns, so
by incorporating both of these items
into our thriller with a story behind
them is a real attraction for that
audience. Furthermore, the car is a
mustang and penis boys typically love
expensive cars so this will draw them
into watching the film as will the sniper
which is a top class gun.

4.  Due to the type of Thriller we have created , there is an element of
violence closely linked with it. After doing some research into
film ratings on the British Board of Film Classification (bbfc) I
would grade out piece as a certificate 15. “Can there be strong
violence? Yes, at 15 violence may be strong. It should not dwell
on the infliction of pain or injury, however, and the strongest gory
images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic violence is
also unlikely to be acceptable.” This fits perfectly into out piece,
all though there is very little in our opening it gives us potential
to add some in the rest of the piece. Similar to the popular movie,
American Sniper starring Bradley Cooper.
