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

Collector target audience: 

My groups film the collector is a psychological thriller, so our film would mainly be targeted to both genders male and female, to ages around 20- 30 adults. We chose to target our film to at male and female adults aged 20 – 30 because, the film is a psychological film so it would be targeted to people who are mature enough, Because of the level of understanding needed to enjoy the film. Some of the parts that will be used in my film, teenagers would not understand.  

The wider audience for our film could be people from 16 – 40, because of the 2^nd main character is a female student, some students could relate to the character. We hope 16 years old would watch and buy the DVD because, some teenagers enjoy watching a 16+ movie. This film is for intelligent people with a good memory, it doesn’t matter about the gender. Even if you are not very intelligent, you may want to give the movie a try, and who knows you might even understand what the film is about.    

The age certificate for our film would be 15. The reason why I chose to give the film an age certificate 15 and not 20 was because we want as many people as possible to watch my film, to get a wider audience. If the age certificate was 20 then we would lose sales because people below the age 20 might want to watch the film in the cinema, but they are too young to get in, so I think the age certificate should be 15.

The most interesting selling point for my film would be that it’s a psychological thriller so it is aimed at males and females. Also the main characters are a female student and a young adult. Which, both male and female audiences could relate to the characters.
