Media Evaluation Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

When looking at our audience for our film, there were various attributes that finally led to the overall age and personality of them. From our questionnaires we were able to mould a target audience that would fit effectively and draw in a type of personality. When looking at the questionnaires we found that our target audience (15+ film students/fans) seemed to enjoy the idea of restricted narration. They also seemed to like Alfred Hitchcock the most out of a selection of well known thriller directors. This shows how many of our audience seemed to have a good and in depth knowledge of film history. Over all we can see from this that our target audience is most likely to be a big film fan, who is interested in less commercial films and has appreciation for various directors traits and film conventions.

This is most likely what they would be like:


They would want to watch our film since it includes classic conventions of what a thriller is meant to be, including acting styles, camera shots, narration and editing. This includes our heavy use of colour corrections to create dark and mysterious lighting in some scenes, which is what this film fan would be very interested in. Our film also includes deep symbolism, hidden in the mise en scene such as the clothing. For example, Ewan is wearing a pristine white shirt, showing innocence as well as hinting to already being dead. Tyler is wearing a red hoodie, symbolising danger and possible illusiveness about his relation to Ewan’s death. Our film is heavily orientated around influences from gritty indie films, in which they would enjoy due to their interest in Dead Man’s Shoes.
