EVALUATION: Question 4

Who would be the audience for my media product?

Our target audience for our thriller opening is suited for everybody, a mixed genre, boys and girls but with a range of ages, generally the ages of young people from age 16-25. The type of audience we would want to attract for our thriller opening are people who enjoy watching supernatural thrillers as our film contained many aspects of supernatural like the use of blood and the location. We also want people that like psychological films and thriller films in general.


A second target audience that we would like to attract is single mothers. Our whole storyline is based on a single parent coping over the loss of her daughter. To grab that kind of audience would be excellent for us because it means that we have reached out a new type of audience and hopefully our film opening is relatable for them and our single mother was convincing enough to portray a single parent in reality.

Here is a review on two guys talking about the film 'The silent house' a psycholgical thriller released in 2012. This example is great in identifying what type of audiences watch psychological thrillers and from looking at this example we have a clear idea on who would be watching our opening.

Here is another review, this time on a girl talking on her opinion about the film 'The Silent House'. Looking at this example again tells us the type of audience that watches psycholgical thrillers.

Here is my example of the target audience for our thriller opening.

Her name is Dezree, 19 years old. She is in her first year of university. In uni she does Fashion and film studies. Dezree loves reading books especially supernatural books. Her most recent purchase is Stephanie Meyer's Twilight. Her hobbies include dancing, singing and travelling over the summer holidays.

She is very passionate in fashion and classifies urban outfitters, bershka, new look and topshop as her main places to shop. Dezree also loves vintage clothing and shops in stores around camden where she would find a bargain of vintage clothing.
