The document discusses determining the target audience for a media product. It analyzed similar thriller films like Inception and Shutter Island. It also considered the BBFC rating of 15 that was expected. The main audience is identified as males aged 15 to 25, which is typical for thriller films. Elements like technology and violence in the political thriller genre piece should appeal to this age range.

2. Our group undertook some
research before deciding on what
would be the most suitable age
group to target, we looked at
previous thrillers such as Inception
and Shutter Island and used these
as a guide to help us decide.

3. We also used the BBFC to help see
which age certificate our piece
would be, as this would affect our
result. After reviewing their rules
and regulations we felt our piece
would be rated 15.

4. The main audience for our product
would be the age 15-25 male
group. This is the typical audience
of any thriller film, but we think
after reviewing the contents of our
piece, that the male age group of
15-25 is the one we will target. This
is due to the things that are
included in this film, especially the
conventions such as technology
and violence, these should attract
the 15-25 audience.

5. Our piece has a sub-genre of
Political thriller. The audience
would be interested in most thriller
films, ours would hopefully be no
different to that. Most thriller films
would be watched by this age
range, meaning that we feel this
would be the appropriate age for
our piece.

6. Overall The Hunt is a very
conventional political thriller, we
know that the main target
audience for these films is the 15-
25 male range. That is why we are
targeting them as our audience.
