The Audience
-We initially thought that out product will be for 15 years and older males in pre-production -however as our film developed we realised that perhaps that range was too vague and our film could entertain and interest those older perhaps middle-aged.
-So perhaps for our product, if we had to choose a age category, the audience is 18-35 males. This is like the relatively recent Thriller, Taken. This film managed to engage and interest both younger and older audiences through it's, father and daughter saviour mission story and action-packed sequences.
-I think we would have a few more younger males interested because our age rating is also a 15 and our film was planned to be action filled. We decided on this target audience because our film would have been like the thrillers you see in a Multiplex and the main audience for a Multiplexe are 14-19 males. (although it is going to be shown in Picturehouses because of budget) That is why we introduced the 'Father saves Daughter' story to attract the older male audience that are more likely to regularly go and see films in a Picturehouse.
-We targeted the same type audience as Taken did. (generally older, middle-aged males but also gain interest from their sons too 15+ males)
-The lifestyle choices that we targeted were those of older males, those who work locally or from home, who can easily walk to a nearby Picturhouse or log into LOVEFILM or Netflix and watch our film for a spare 90 minutes.

ReplyDeleteSorry Scott - I've tried to delete this comment as I realise I thought this was your q 5 answer, but I don't appear to be able to on your blog! Anyway, it is still a little underdeveloped - it appears very rushed. Try to make key information here more visual, and also justify your choice of target audience more carefully in terms of the kind of thriller you wanted to make.
ReplyDeleteI did manage to delete the first comment after all, so read the comment above for advice!
ReplyDeleteWhat about lifestyle choices of your audience? See the introduction to the evaluation questions that I presented to you in the lesson (on moodle). What does the audience enjoy in terms of film?
