The document discusses the intended audience for a media product described as a thriller film called "PREY". It states that the audience would be around 50% men and 50% women due to elements like a female lead, action scenes, and a tense ending. It would likely attract teenagers and adults rather than children due to violent content suggested by the title and clues in the opening. The film aims to include people of all races and social classes by featuring actors of different races and portraying characters from both upper and lower classes.

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

2. The audience I tried to target
was a female audience. This is
because, the lead role was
played by a woman. This
makes women feel empowered
and strong as they are now
being portrayed as stronger
than men.

3. My film consists of fast
paced action. The film
could also attract a male
audience as they are the
type of gender who
typically enjoys watching
action packed films.

4. The thriller opening consists of a red herring, an enigma and a cliffhanger.
Many people in the audience during my film screening particularly enjoyed the
ending which is a revealing of the red herring. My audience consist of both
males and females. The point of the opening was to hold the attention of the
audience so they watch the rest of the film. Since everyone thought the ending
was the best part I could conclude that the film would attract the attention of
both genders.
The word ‘PREY’ is a reflection of what happens in the animal kingdom. Prey
suggest someone or something is being hunted, usually in a very violent way.
This could attract the male gender as they are seen as more violent than
women.
So with the female lead, constant action, tense ending and violent title the
audience my film is likely to attract would be around 50% men and 50%
women.

5. As stated before, the word prey suggest
someone or something being hunted in a
violent manner. If the film was to carry on
after the opening I think that there would
be some very violent deaths which would
consist of guns as in the opening we
heard a gunshot which tells us that is
going to be the main weapon used. This
means that the content would not be age
appropriate for kids and children.
Therefore we are trying to attract an older
demographic.

6. My film is of the thriller genre which consists of enigmas, cliffhangers and
redherrings. All these conventions creates a suspenseful and tense atmosphere
which is not what children normally watch. This mean that this film could be
aimed at teenagers and young adults but if there is a mass amount of violence
then it must be aimed to adults.
The films that are watched by kids and teenagers are mainly animation films and
family films. Teenagers might watch my thriller if there is no violence as they are
usually known to watch super hero, action and adventure films.

7. My thriller opening consists of a white actor and
a black actor. This is so all races are seen as
equal as they are both depicted as victims and
villains at different stages of the opening. An
advantage of using actors with different races,
will bring in an audience of all races. This is
because they will feel included.
One disadvantage is that if trailers are produced
to market the film and one race is depicted as
evil it could cause the other races to watch the
film as they will feel more superior. Or they will
not go to watch the film as they will feel as
though it is not fair on the other race. On the
other hand it could make people of that certain
race go watch it as they will feel a part of the
film.

8. This movie is aimed at all class statuses. My thriller opening consists of an actor of an
upper class and an actor of a lower class. This is portrayed through their costumes as one
is dressed formal (upper class) whereas, one is dressed casual and scruffy (low class). You
could also suggest that both characters are from a middle class due to their surrounds as
you wouldn't normally see upper class people surrounded by shrubbery.
The use of all classes would attract the attention of all types of people from all classes. This
is because they would feel as though they are included in the film so they would want to
support them. Since this thriller opening looks quite low in quality compared to all the other
thrillers, most made by the ‘Big Six’ production studios. The quality of the film would
probably not attract people of an upper class as they are stereotypically used to only
watching big blockbusters.
