Question 4: Who would be the audience for your media product

Children?                                               Teenagers?                                     Adults?
For our media product we depicted teenagers as the ideal viewers, the finding from our survey dominated this thought as thriller is most viewed by teenagers, this is mainly because thriller movies are rated 15 and above. To isolate our viewers as teenagers rather than  adults we focused on issues that teenagers favour such as superiority. So we took liberty in making the youths in our media

This not only appeals to our audience but makes our audience interactive as it allows the audience to feel energized as though they too have gained power over those seen to discipline them as Blade and Lazar have control over Helen. Though this is not revealed in the opening sequence, this is the plot of the movie. This makes our movie relative to most teenagers as they are a misunderstood. So we decided to use the stereotype to reveal teenagers in the way teenagers perceive themselves. One of the things that had influenced our decision to make Blade and Lazar one person was that teenagers are stereotypes to be a rebellious individual (Blade) which may be a different person to the person

themselves. (Lazar) Its these factors that contributed to our choice of audience. 

Our Movie Your Taste

These movies each hold the highest number of viewers within the teenage audience. Each movie has a spring of teenage element and stereotypes as it places teenagers as troubled misunderstood youths. They focus on the lives of teenagers, the way teenagers perceive life, This makes it easier for the teenage audience to relate to. Its use of violence, action and mischief helps to depict a normalistic teenage world which increases the liability of an interactive audience. Such elements have govern the design of our media product as each movie presents the teenagers in causal clothing, which we made certain was the costume for our teenage actors: Blade and Lazar. By using similar elements to that exposed in these movies, we have shown that the ideal audience for our media product are teenagers. As our media product depicts teenagers as powerful individuals, this notion is also exercised in the above movies.

Teenagers > children
Teenagers go cinema more than any other audience as they do not have a limited time to go cinemas, children are normally prohibited to go cinemas during the holiday because of the absence of school work. Whereas teenagers are in charge of their own decisions and tend to have their own way which means that if they intended to go cinemas on a school night then they could. Children have to be guarded by an adult to see certain movies, this makes it harder for them to go cinemas as they can only go cinemas if an adult has time to go with them.
Teenagers> Adults 
Adults have jobs so they may not enough spare time to go cinemas. Whereas teenagers tend to have weekend jobs or no jobs at all meaning that they will have spare time. Teenagers do not have as many responsibilities as Adults, Adults have to pay for bills as well whereas teenagers only spend money on themselves this means that they will have enough money to go cinemas.  Adults have a wide range of entertainment whereas teenagers have limited access as most things are for people 18 and over. So cinema may be the only form of entertainment for teenagers. This shows that by making teenagers our target audience, we are guaranteed views and can make large income.
