QUESTION 4:

Who would be the audience for your media product?

My opening scene is targeted to teenagers 15 years +, reasons


being my post-apocalyptic film isnt gory however it is threatening
and violent - therefore it cant be shown to a young target
audience. The reason I have done my target audience as 15 years+
is because a younger audience may find it confusing as the film is a
repeat of the same day, and they may not understand the concept.

The typical audience for a post-apocalyptic film, for


example 28 days later is male 25-39. The fact 28 days later
is a gory, violent film that has a target audience of 18
years+ suggests the reasons for the older target audience.
My film also attracts this target audience as although it
isnt gory it has references to death and challenges the
audience by repeating the same day.

I have got somebody to explain why they think the target


audience is suitable for 15 years+..

The reason I personally think the target audience should be 15+


is because; it has references to war involving a smoke flare and
burnt up clothing, and it expresses death and isolation. Another
reason why I think the target audience should be 15+ is
specifically because younger audience wouldnt understand the
repeat of the same day.

In my opening scene, I used non-violent props however I used a smoke


flare. I used references to death by the character being alone and the
huge explosion at the start of the opening scene making the target
audience 15 years+. I used the setting; London and the woods creating
a norm atmosphere (London) contrasting that with an isolated/
stereotypical creepy setting (the woods).
