Q4 Evaluation

Q4 Who would be the audience for your media product?

The target audience for our film production was the typical teenager, from the age range of 15-20. We feel this was a suitable target audience for our film as our actors in it were also teenagers them selves, and that this would interest our audience, as they could relate to what the characters are doing and what they say. After consulting our team and peers within our class we decided that our film should be rated as a 15 by the BBFC. We decided that we needed more opinions on our films certificate rating, so we asked other people on our media course our age, and people on the street. who were from a range of ages.

Here show our findings.

As shown our finding matched our prediction showing around 2\3 thirds of the people asked thought that our film fitted in the age category 15-20.







We felt more research needed to be done before we finalised our findings. Here show another group of people we asked what they though our film was aimed at.

This did throw us of balance slightly as nearly half the people we asked though our film should be within te 18+ category which does show that our film did fit into the psychological horror genre as it was seen as scary, however these finding and the one above show that overall people thought our film fitted best into the 15 BBFC.

We decided to make a few changes to our film to make sure that out film was definitely in the right category. Some blood and gore were taken out of out film.

We know that our target audience of teenagers are most likely to watch our film. We also feel that people who love going to the cinema to see horror films would also be likely to watch out psychological horror film. Some audiences feel that as our film is not mainstream or produced by a conglomerate company our film shall have some more traditional psychological horror features ( as lacks in special effects ). I feel this my make them likely to come and watch our production if released.

Heritage shall also be a factor persuading people to come and watch our film. Although we intended and succeeded  that our film should not include and regional idiolect, we feel that due to the location of our film being set in South Yorkshire, the people from around the area may come and see the film.
