Evaluation task 5

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Typical Target Audience The target audience of many psychological thrillers are 18+ This is because they include a lot of violence and some psychological issues which can be disturbing for many younger viewers There are usually warnings on the back of the DVD cover which states why it is rated as it is e.g. contains extreme violence or sexual scenes

 Our Target Audience The audience which we are aiming to attract with our film is 15+ males or females who enjoy psychological thrillers Our film opening will have a rating of 15+ because the movie will contain aspects of violence, death and a character with psychological problems However, it will not be an 18+ because the content is not overly explicit.
Films With a Similar Target Audience ‘Skyfall,’  ‘Bourne ultimatum,’ ‘Fatal Attraction’ directed by Adrian Lyne ‘American Psycho’ directed by Mary Harron ‘Se7en’ directed by David Fincher ‘Rear Window’ directed by Alfred Hitchcock ‘Silence of the Lambs’ directed by Jonathon Demme.

We attempted to reach our target audience by hitting the criteria of 15 rated films and by the use of violence that wasn't explicit and gory thus making it acceptable to be give the rating it was.
