Evaluation Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

The BBFC classification of our product is 12A, it is the most appropriate for our product because strong language can be used but it would be infrequent and violence would be permitted as long as it wasn't dwelled upon. This gave us a little free range with our dialogue and violence if we wanted to do so. 

Our typical audience member, will be a working class male round about 18 years old of no certain ethnicity, but this film is up their street because they will be at that social age to go to cinemas with friends and will be into such genres as thriller's, horrors, comedies and action. Films like 'Die hard', 'The wolf of Wall street' and 'Money Never Sleeps' will be their favourite films. They will be a typical school boy just starting or in the process of doing A levels, with low income as they will only have a small low wage part time job, we're thinking band E income which is around £3000 a year, which works out as £250 a month or £62 a week. They'll have found out about the film through social and media sites like youtube and facebook, and will most likely have gone to the cinemas to watch our movie or watched it on an approved media streaming site as this is what our target audience member will frequent. 
We expect them to look similar to this, this is Jamie Stewart.



Here is a snap shot of the audience profile from Pearl & Dean's website. It's a Thriller just like our movie, 54% of the audience is males which is what we are expecting for our movie. The age range 15 - 24 is the highest viewing range with 38% of people being around this age, our expected age range is 16 - 21 so our film may similarly have this high percentage.
