Our target audience for the media product is 15-25 year olds. Research found that women preferred the film more because the lead role was a woman and the male was the victim, going against stereotypes. By using audience feedback to shape the film around a female lead and male victim, the film aims to appeal to its target demographic. The hostage situation genre is commonly felt to be overused but can make an amazing film when done right and original.

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

2. Our target audience is more for the ages between 15-25 this is
because these ages were the ones that came up most frequently. We
haven't based our movie for a certain gender, we have made it for
everyone; we never had a goal to make it more for one gender than
the other, however through our target audience research we found
that woman were more drawn to the movie because of the lead
female role and the fact that the male was the victim instead of just
a female. I think since we found out that the woman preferred it
when the man was the victim which went against a male stereotype
caused us to decide to make the film like that this way we used the
audiences ideas and feedback to help make the movie and to make
sure we appeal to our target audience. There are no other films
which are similar to ours except one this is because people believe
that the hostage situation is too over used and isnt original however
when done right it has the ability to make an amazing film which
everyone likes. The only other film which is somewhat similar to
us is in the same genre however tit is not in the same subgenre as
us, out movie is an erotic thriller the movie ‘Hostage’ is a crime
thriller which has a different aim to the movie and would play out
very differently to ours.
