Evaluation question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Certification has to be thought about when thinking of the target audience for our film. This is because if our film is going to be an 18, then this would mean it is not going to be available to watch for a wide selection of people e.g. 16 year olds who are still in our target audience. Our film was chosen to be a 15 because that is the general starting age for people who like action films so we decided to make sure we did not use anything in our film which would declare it an 18.

We would expect our target audience to be from the age of 15 up to about 30 because this is the age group which tend to like action films and go to see them. We would also mainly expect them to be males because stereotypical they are the ones which watch action films because they are seen to be more manly.

I would expect my target audience to watch a few action films before and watch programmes on TV such as 24 because they relate to action and use lots of generic conventions. These include conventions such as guns just like in action film which might entice people in to watch them because it excites them as an audience.  I would also expect the target audience to be quite open because as t is a mainstream film it isn't just going to pick out a certain type of people therefore it is going to be a majority of people who would like the film and be quite different from each other.
