The plot follows a young gay black man living with his mother who fears coming out to his friends in his social circle. When a friend accesses his Facebook messages and discovers he has been messaging another gay man, his secret is at risk of being exposed. Adding to the pressure, his girlfriend suddenly reveals she is pregnant.

Target audience profile
The target audience is a 16-21 year old female student and part-time retail worker living with her parents in suburban London. She enjoys spending time with friends on weekends but does not prioritize relationships, instead focusing on school and work. In her spare time, she enjoys watching supernatural-themed television shows and films, and blogs about them online. She is especially interested in possession and paranormal stories that make her feel frightened but also intrigued.
Question 2
The document discusses how a media product represents social groups. It describes focusing on a single female character between 18-24 years old to create an eerie atmosphere in a thriller opening. The character, Bekka, is portrayed as independent, strong, and mature through her dark clothing, living alone, and handling a house purchase on her own. This challenges stereotypes of females being weak, dependent, or needing male guidance. The character is also described as white and middle-class based on her house, though her race and class are not meant to be a focus of the thriller. The document suggests the media product would appeal to its target 18-30 year old audience through its mature psychological thriller elements and representation of everyday life.
Audience Research
The document discusses the target audience for horror films. Research showed that males aged 15-24 were the second highest viewership demographic for the horror genre.

Horror films provide cheap entertainment through their violent and supernatural content which appeals to younger male viewers.

Q4 Who would be the target audience for your media product?
The target audience for the media product is ages 18 and older. This is because the dialogue and comedy in the film opening are aimed at an older generation who would better understand references to shows like Sherlock Holmes and Murder, She Wrote. Two example audience profiles are provided: Carly, an 18-year-old college student who enjoys period dramas and detective shows, and Catherine, a 64-year-old retiree who enjoys reading and visiting art house cinemas with her husband each month. To reach this target audience, the film opening uses costumes and mise-en-scene elements to portray a more mature, older feel by representing a middle-aged era time period.

Craig's speech on bullying
Racism, sexism, and bullying are serious issues that negatively impact victims. Throughout history, certain groups have faced mistreatment, such as women being executed by Henry VIII when he lost interest in them. Bullying takes many forms, from name-calling and rumor spreading to physical abuse. While bullying may seem minor, it has serious consequences for victims' mental health and well-being. To curb bullying, schools need stricter rules and consequences for offenders to protect potential victims. Both children and adults can bully others through harassment, assault, or forms of racism like those that occurred during segregation.

Quention 2
The document discusses how the media product represents various social groups and challenges stereotypes. It is noted that the antagonist is female and protagonist is male, challenging the stereotype that women are weak. It is also suggested that the upper-class niche audience may be less accepting of challenges to traditional gender roles than the younger mass market audience. The characters are chosen to be young white British straight couples to appeal to the mass market primary audience and allow them to relate to the characters. Some stereotypes are also presented, such as the notion that women are clingy, need attention and rely on men, in order to appeal to both the niche and mass audiences.
Psycho Project 2 Comic Slides
This comic strip summarizes 5 concepts from social psychology: 1) Diffusion of responsibility, where people passing a beggar don't help assuming others will; 2) Stereotyping, where a shopkeeper sees a tattooed man as a gangster; 3) Affective forecasting, where the shopkeeper inaccurately predicts being robbed; 4) First impressions, where a woman rejects the man thinking he's unattractive; 5) False consensus effect, where the beggar assumes no one will help like everyone else. The comic shows how appearances and assumptions can lead people to make inaccurate judgments of others.

The target audience loves films, finds watching them relaxing and entertaining, and will be attracted to trends and clever narratives shown in films. They enjoy the spine-tingling feeling of supernatural horrors and being stimulated intellectually.

Evaluation...finish
The document discusses the representation of social groups in a media product. It represents females through three stereotypical characters - the main character Kyra is emotional and kills out of revenge, Lilly is also emotional and lets her emotions lead her to suicide, and Rhiannon is manipulative and controlling, causing Lilly to kill herself. The product only includes female characters. It could be seen as either feminist or portraying women as overemotional. Kyra is similar to a character from American Horror Story who kills her husband after finding an affair. The characters are all white British. The film shows how harsh words can deeply hurt youth and some may react in extreme ways, like Kyra's revenge killing, or how bullying is
Target audience
A survey was conducted to determine the target audience for a film containing violence. The results showed that the target audience was mainly males between the ages of 16-20. This was the demographic that most closely matched the film's content and classification of 15 years old or older. While the primary target audience was males aged 16-20, the film was deemed suitable for a wider audience beyond this group as the characters and themes could be relatable to many people.
Target audience
This document discusses the target audiences for a new thriller film. There are two main audience groups. The primary audience is school/college aged girls between 15-24 who can relate to the three female main characters. This type of girl enjoys pop/rock music, TV shows like Skins and Vampire Diaries, and uses social media frequently. The secondary audience is school/college aged males between 15-24 who enjoy rock/rap music, shows like The Walking Dead, video games, and action/thriller films with violence. This male viewer also uses social media and goes to the gym. The film aims to attract both audiences.
Social group presentation
1. The document discusses the representation of various social groups including teenagers, ethnicity, gender in media products.

The soap opera will incorporate these interests to create realism and engage this target demographic.
Evaluation q2
The document discusses various gender and age stereotypes present in the media product. It notes that the murdered victim conforms to stereotypes of females being vulnerable and the focus of male characters. Both the detective and roommate are male, reinforcing stereotypes of males being dominant and in control. However, the roommate subverts some stereotypes by being independent. The older, intimidating detective maintains power over the younger roommate during interrogation, reinforcing stereotypes of age and authority.
Classification

CRAGS
The document discusses representations of class, race, age, gender, and sexuality in a media production. For class, the protagonist goes from a government agent to a terrorist, changing social status, and class is more relevant due to the intelligence needed to understand the content. For race, racial stereotypes are rejected by showing an innocent colored male and a white male villain. For age, the actors appeared older than their roles. For gender, a male fit the violent roles better than a female. And for sexuality, the production maintained heterosexual norms traditionally seen in Hollywood.
Classification

Profile
An interview was conducted with Mrs. Bibby, a 35+ female teacher, to understand the interests and preferences of the target demographic for a new film. Mrs. Bibby enjoys soul and motown music in films but dislikes mainstream pop artists. She likes thrillers and murder mysteries, especially in theaters rather than at home. While she enjoys mystery shows like The Missing, political thrillers are too complex. Based on this interview, advertisements should target mystery and drama TV shows in the evenings and newspapers to reach the target A/B, 35+ demographic. Releasing in the summer allows more free time to see the film.
My pitch
The plot centers around a young gay black man living with his mother who fears coming out to his friends in his social circle. When his girlfriend, who he used as a cover, becomes unexpectedly pregnant, he is forced to confront his sexuality. The film aims to represent the underrepresented gay community and challenge stereotypes of black people by portraying the main character as educated and career-focused rather than violent or criminal. The film will draw inspiration from other British realism films dealing with challenging topics and target a young adult audience around 19-30 years old.
