1. Q4. Who would be the audience
for your media product?

2.  The target audience for my media
product in terms of age would be
anyone over 15.
 This is because my media product is
quite scary and eerie which wouldn’t be
suitable for kids or anyone under the age
of 15 as it contains murder scenes etc.
(shown below)

3.  The target audience in terms of gender
would be male or female as my media
product can appeal to anyone.
 Due to the main protagonist being a
man and a detective, could appeal to
boys more, however, although it’s based
around him, it also focuses on the
psychological problems and the abusive
past of the “killer” (Amanda) which
could appeal to girls as they could
empathise with Amanda and feel
sympathy for her.

4.  A thriller that is similar to mine in terms of the target audience
is Shutter Island.
 Shutter Island is a psychological thriller due to the problem
being in the main character’s head and being more mental
than physical.  This is similar to my thriller as the problem is
also inside her head and it focuses on mental aspects as well
as physical.
 It also has a crime aspect to it due to the main protagonist
being a detective, which again is similar to my thriller.
 Shutter Island also contains some disturbing images that
could be scary for kids and it also isn’t gender specific, so I
therefore think Shutter Island has the same target audience
as my media product.
