Evaluation (5)




WHO WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT?
There is no fixed gender for our media production as it could interest both. It could interest females because there is a female eye appearing at the beginning and end of the sequence. This could give them a chance to relate to this character because they are female. Females may also like it because there is no real strong suggestion that there is blood and gore in the film, and females stereotypically do not like blood and gore, nevertheless some may like it.
All film fans would be attracted to our film especially fans of the thriller genre. Film fans should be interested in our media product because not only does it show conventions of a t thriller genre there is also other sub layers such as: romance and horror to attract the wider audience. Thriller fans should be attracted to our film because it does use many conventions of a thriller such as low key lighting, quick cuts, obtrusive editing, shadows and black and white colouring. All these features are used in our opening sequence and will attract Thriller fans because they will recognise these conventions.

The age of the attracted audience will vary because it is a 15. This means families will not be the audience, it is more likely to be 16-29 year old. This is because they are more likely to be intrigued by the use of editing and colour correction in our title sequence but also how grave stones and statues are worked into a thriller film. My media production would attract a young adult age group because our main characters are young, so it would be easier for them to relate to the characters, and as it is set in a town many young people live in towns and cities which makes it even more relatable. If an audience is able to relate to the characters or what is happening on screen they are more likely to become emotionally arched to the media production because they will want to find out what happens to them. 
The audience of Homeland is also the audience of our media production because both media productions are similar in the use of colour correction so as the Homeland viewers already enjoy the use of it they will like ours.
Audience location will be in towns and cities because many of our shots are done in a town or a city. Such as of people walking and the different statues and old buildings. Our audience will be located in a town or city most likely because it is relatable to them. This is because they will recognise many features of their town in the film for example statues and then think that the film's town could be theirs. One important feature of our sequence is a church and grave yards and many towns do have these or they are on the outskirts, which the audience could also relate to. It is important for our audience to be able to relate to our media production because it keeps them emotionally involved with the production which is a use of films.
The audience's life style will be normal having a everyday job from 9-5 or they will be students. Where they shop would be normal high street brands, H&M for girls and Burton for males, these shops can be expensive which shows they have disposable income so they can afford to go out to the cinema. They probably won't be religious as this films shows grave yards being presented in a scary and 'thriller esct' way, which wouldn't attract Christians.
