Question 4

-Who would the audience of your media product be?

My media product, psycho Sundays, is mainly aimed at teenagers/young adults. This is our primary target audience however our secondary audience it adults but mainly we believe teenagers will want to watch our film. Films similar to ours like Kingsman and Maze Runner use the same conventions as ours and they are, like ours, very stereotypically alike. All three films use a teenage male antagonist. These films seemed to use a character that is a similar age to the target audience of the film, which is what we tried to do so we made our antagonist a teenager since that is the audience we would like our product to appeal too. Also we thought that because or characters were all quite young and of a similar age to our viewers, we thought that as the film went on the audience would gain a connection and would find common ground with our characters which would make our audience sympathise more and it would be more of an emotional rollercoaster if our film was like this which is what a thriller should be like.

In regards to gender we didn't have one main sex we were aiming at whilst making the film, but since our character is male and wear male clothes and does stereotypical male things we thought that a male audience would probably enjoy it more than a female audience. But we did not have a certain gender in mind whilst creating the film. However with both actors being both male it may draw in a female audience potentially based of looks and attraction towards the opposite sex.

Again regarding the ethnicity of our audience we did not have a particular ethnic group in mind as we would like the film to be relatable and enjoyable for anyone. But since our characters are both white and British then maybe an audience of the same ethnicity is more likely to go and watch this film since it would make it easier to relate to the film and easier to put themselves in the antagonists shoes.
