Q4: Who would be the audience for your media product?

We believe our target audience would be the typical thriller enthusiast. They would have to be interested in film and not someone who watches the occasional film with friends. This is because thrillers normally have a complex storyline and we believe that ours is one of these. In comparison our film would be something along the lines of ‘The Departed’ as it takes a lot of attention to follow the plot and has some unexpected twists along the way. The age group we were aiming for was young adults and middle age film enthusiasts. 

 

This is a common example of our target audience. A male in his early 20’s/30’s who is very active In social networking and the media. He would probably watch Tv series that are drama based or action based. Other film genres apart from thriller would be Action/adventure and comedy.

 

During our research and planning phase of Le Monde, we conducted a survey and asked people their favourite genre of thriller. As we can see from the pie chart a majority of people liked a psychological thriller and the joint second most were supernatural and crime. This influenced our decision to cut the opening to just the car scene in order to create far more mystery to Le Monde overall and create a mix between a psychological and crime thriller.

The age rating for out Thriller would have to be a BBFC rating of 18. This is because our thriller would contain the following;

 

·      Use of drugs

·      Very strong violence

·      Strong language

·      Discriminatory language and behavior
