The target audience is viewers under 25 who can relate to the urban setting and issues of drugs, violence and gang culture portrayed in the film.
Who would be the audience for your media
The target audience for the media product is 16-25 year olds. This age group is most likely to watch thriller films based on an analysis of the statistics for the film 4.3.2.1. Characters in their mid-20s allow for greater identification. The film is set in a run-down local estate shown through establishing shots, similar to settings in 4.3.2.1. It aims to appeal to those captivated by 4.3.2.1 by featuring women in control of the thriller narrative, unlike most such films.
Evaluation q3
This media product targets youth and young adults aged 16 to 24 who enjoy mystery movies. The opening scene of a murder will intrigue the target audience to watch until the end when the guilty party and motive are revealed. By including a love story, the product aims to also appeal to a more sensitive audience, especially girls, who will enjoy the romantic element.
Media product target audience
The target audience for the media project is males aged 21-50 because the genre of the opening sequence is a thriller, which would attract males more than females. A political thriller genre would interest this age range as they would want to learn more about the situation of the main character, a MP. This 21-50 age group also has the most money to spend and is more likely to go to the cinema, so targeting them could maximize potential profits if the goal is to make money from the film.
How did you attract final

Diegetic sounds of a train and non-diegetic sounds of fizzing liquid and a lighter flame were incorporated to further immerse the audience.
Linked Production Presentation
The document examines how young teenagers are often portrayed negatively in media as delinquents engaged in gun and knife crime from urban areas.

The documentary will use various camera shots and angles during interviews to seem realistic while introducing different teenagers. It aims to educate viewers of all ages about how the criminal behavior of some teens is often overrepresented in order to construct a moral panic, though teenagers aged 13-17 may especially relate to and learn from the documentary's portrayal of issues around social exclusion.
Evaluation question 2
The document summarizes a film sequence involving three main characters - two policemen and a criminal. To add drama, the characters were portrayed as being in their mid-20s to suggest they would be more susceptible to corruption.

Evaluation 2 audience
The target audience for the media product is males and females ages 15-40. Research showed including older ages up to 40 was appropriate. Most of the target audience will be teens ages 15-17 who have free time to go to movies due to limited other activities.

Representation

DreamWorks Distribution and United International Pictures would be suitable distribution partners. DreamWorks handles theatrical distribution, screening films in movie theaters to increase a film's reputation, while United International Pictures focuses on non-theatrical distribution through DVDs, TV, and digital platforms to reach wider audiences outside of theaters. These major international companies are well-established, which would help add value and attract different types of viewers to a new film.

Question 3:Media Evaluation
The document discusses media institutions that distributed the 1996 horror film Scream. Dimension Films distributed it in the US, Laurenfilm distributed it in Spain, and Buena Vista International distributed it in the UK. Dimension Films is owned by The Weinstein Company and has distributed over 100 films. Laurenfilm began distributing Golden Harvest films in 1980 and has distributed major films. Buena Vista International is now called Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International and has distributed several Disney films that made over $1 billion worldwide.
Distributing my film
Dimensions Film would be a suitable media institution to distribute the film because:
1) Over the past 7 years, Dimensions has distributed many successful horror movies, including Scream 4 which grossed $18.6 million in the US and £2 million in the UK on its opening weekend.
2) The films distributed, such as Scream, have similarities to the film in terms of teenage characters alone at night which builds vulnerability.
3) Dimensions has a track record of distributing films in the same genre that have achieved good box office success on their opening weekends.

The mise-en-scene of her bedroom and clothes were crafted to depict a stereotypical "girly girl" teenager to match thriller conventions and engage the intended young audience.

Media Evaluation Q2
The media product represents a lower social group of teenage males through its all-male teenage cast. Stereotypes of young males like wearing hoodies and bonding like in Fast and Furious were portrayed naturally. The isolated house location also fits thriller conventions. The victims behave typically for teenage boys, wearing hoodies and jeans and messing around, challenging expectations of male roles. The killer's identity is unknown, representing gender equality. As a UK production, it represents the varied views of teenage males in Britain as the future despite being victims.
Question 2
A teen drama is a genre aimed at teenagers that commonly explores themes through subgenres like music, thriller, crime, romance, and horror. Representation in media portrays characters through aspects like age, gender, ethnicity, and class, and teen dramas typically feature stereotypical social groups like nerds, jocks, and outsiders. This film explores the topic of drug use among college students, representing the main character as a lonely student waiting for a secret message about drugs through props like textbooks, a student ID, and location shots on a college campus.
Evaluation criteria 2
The document discusses how social realism films typically represent the working class social group through stereotypes. It provides the example of the TV series "Youngers" which portrays working class teenagers living on estates with limited education opportunities. The document then discusses how the media product aims to clearly represent the young female protagonist as working class through elements like her clothing, the lit street setting, and her turning to violence and drugs, conforming to working class stereotypes. It focuses on teenagers as a social group by casting the main character as a 16-year-old to increase believability and relate to the target audience of 15-18 year olds.
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups. It uses young actors aged 17-18 to appeal to their target audience of 15-24 year olds. It features a black male as the detective to challenge stereotypes and show black people in a positive light. Both main actors are male, reflecting the typical male-dominated genre of crime thrillers. The antagonist is portrayed as a young black man, presenting a negative stereotype of black youth that the audience can relate to.
How does your media product represent particular social
The document summarizes how a media product represents various social groups through its opening sequence. It discusses how the sequence portrays class (middle class), age (16-18 years old teenagers), gender (males as dominant, females as submissive), and sexuality (focusing on subtly suggesting the protagonist's struggle with homosexuality in a nuanced way). Specifically, it aims to challenge stereotypical portrayals in other media through its subtle use of techniques like close-ups, costume, dialogue, and settings. The goal is for audiences to see the protagonist's difference and sexuality as normal rather than what makes her different.
Question 2
The document discusses representations in media and the target audience for a film opening sequence. It aims the opening sequence at people aged 16-25 as younger children may be scared or less interested. Both male and female viewers in this age range could relate to the scenes set in college around male and female main characters. However, the consequences are fatal for some characters unaware that their new friend is actually a murderer who has escaped prison and enrolled in college under a new identity.
Evaluation Question2 Final
This document discusses media representations of youth culture and how the film project represents social groups. It notes that media often use stereotypes to portray youth as unruly or focused on partying, sex, and fashion. The film project aims to represent youth in a more restrained way and focus on underlying issues like friendship and love/lesbianism. It portrays the characters as everyday teenagers rather than exaggerated stereotypes, showing a natural relationship between girls of different ethnicities and sizes. This challenges common media portrayals of women as sexual objects or mean characters obsessed with status and beauty.
Who would be the audience for your media product?
The document discusses targeting a 15-25 year old audience for a neo-noir film called "Red" due to their interest in the genre's themes of drama, romance, and action. It explains that the film will receive a 15 rating from the BBFC as it contains depictions of drug use and strong language. The film is aimed at providing entertainment and escapism for viewers.
Evaluation Question# 2!
The document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups. It summarizes that the movie "A Walk to Remember" represented various social groups like students from different ethnicities and ages to fulfill the themes of the movie. It is difficult to represent many social groups in just the opening sequence of a media product. The author's media product introduces two Asian teenagers aged 16-19 to represent that social group. The male protagonist is portrayed as a rich and sophisticated brat while the female protagonist is portrayed as innocent and girly to fit romantic drama genres. Their costumes also suggest they are upper middle class.
Presentationi
The document discusses a group's media production of a new soap opera. They researched popular soap operas like Eastenders, Coronation Street, and Hollyoaks to understand conventions of the genre. Their new soap opera aims to be both socially realistic and light entertainment, similar to Hollyoaks. It focuses on issues like abuse and drug use that teenagers can relate to. The setting of a university also allows their target audience of 16-34 year olds to easily relate. They plan to film multiple trailers showing different storylines and characters to target different audiences like males and females, teenagers and young adults. While including standard soap opera character types, they also challenge conventions to avoid simply copying other shows.

How does your film opening represent particular social groups?
This document discusses how a film opening sequence represents different social groups through its characters. It analyzes the three main character types commonly found in crime films - the detective, victim, and murderer. For each character, it describes how the film opening conveys their social group through choices like actors, costumes, props, and narrative. The murderer is portrayed as a young, strong, white male of lower class through limited screen time and washed hands. The victim is a young, feminine, blonde female of higher class conveyed through vulnerable costume and age. The detective is a young, suited white male of higher professional class shown through narrative and serious demeanor.
Evaluation - (Marialucia)
The document discusses a student film project titled "39 Weeks" about a teenage pregnancy. It uses drama genre conventions like realistic lighting and props to show the challenges of pregnancy. The protagonist is developed through close-ups and shots to show her difficult life experiences. The film challenges stereotypes by depicting a pregnant teen from a middle-class home who struggles despite her background. It represents teenagers in both stereotypical and nuanced ways through the protagonist's experiences. The film would appeal to teenagers and could be distributed by companies that handle similar films addressing social issues like Revolver Entertainment.
Question 2
The media product represents teenage girls ages 13-19. It portrays common issues this social group faces such as cyber bullying and eating disorders. The characters are depicted as typical teenage girls to help the target audience relate to them. The film aims to realistically portray the struggles girls face, such as loneliness and depression, in a social realism genre.
Film Poster Analysis
The film poster features Lindsey Lohan prominently to appeal to young teen girls who are fans of hers. She is dressed in red to convey her new fierce nature after joining the popular clique at her new school, while the other girls are dressed in pink which represents their girly and mean personalities. The tagline "Watch Your Back" warns the audience about the backstabbing nature of the girls. The poster layout and bold text are designed to attract teenage girls to the chick flick genre of the film.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
This document discusses how a media product represents social groups. It defines a social group as people who share expectations, responsibilities, and characteristics. Teenagers are identified as a broad social group that forms other subgroups based on interests. The media product focuses on teenagers aged 15-19 because the creators are in that age group.

In evaluating the representation, the document notes it widened the audience by appealing to those who can relate to teenage experiences and stress.

Question 2 again
- 1. How does your media product represent particular social groups? My opening sequence was set up to portray and attract a certain social group, the target audience is 16-18 year olds who are teenagers and live a teenage life both genders who predominately like watching horror movie’s and any other particular movies fans. To represent these social groups we have used reasonably young characters in our horror movie related to every day life of a teenager hence why our narrative includes two college students as well as different props and locations. However this does not sustain very young teenagers below the age of 15 as our opening sequence includes tense and scary scenes that are not suitable for a younger audience.
- 2. How does your media product represent particular social groups? Furthermore as stated the two characters presented in our opening sequence are teenagers , teenagers are stereotyped to be surrounded by a social life and friends , that is why we chose our main prop to be a mobile phone to show that the teenagers are young and communicative
- 3. . The fact that teenagers are stereotyped to be out our narrative to be about two students meeting up in a park, as many teenagers hang around in a park after college this represent our social group as many teenagers may relate to this and it might persuade them and interest them to watch the opening sequence. The protagonist costume is quite casual and illustrates a simple look , however we did use red trousers to illustrate danger and for the character to appeal to the audience as the setting was generally dark. RED TROUSERS SYMBOLIZES DANGER
- 4. How does your media product represent particular social groups? . We used two different races, the main character being a white European girl followed by her friend who is a black Caribbean girl , we chose these two characters to represent different races. The Gender for both of our characters are female this shows the friendship between the two characters as they may be best friends this may create a better relation to the audience as well as portraying a innocent looking victim look, however the killer was a male character this shows the opposite side as a male is seen to be stronger and more serious.
