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

For my groups media product we decided that the target audience would be the gender of men as the actual film is a British Gangster. When researching the target audience for other films we came across that the films were aimed at men. This is when my group decided that having a women as a main gangster would give us more target audience as women could be more interested. This gave our film a wider selection of target audience. The age range we was looking to aim our film at was 18+ as our film is filled with violence, crime and bad language. If the film would have carried on there also would have been scenes of sexual activity and nudity. When researching British Gangster films the majority of the films were 18+ is not then a 15+. This is because of the same themes that we have in our piece is the same as themes in other British Gangster films.

From audience feedback on the questionnaire the question asked ‘what genre do you think our coursework is in?’. The feedback we received was that our audience thought that our product fell into was British Gangster. Also Action was some peoples answer along with British Gangster. I can see why our audience would think the piece was action because of the bank scene which we showed in our media product. Also in a questionnaire we asked ‘Would you want to watch the rest of our film?’ the answer to this question varied only three people we asked said that they would not want to. This was one male and two women this shows that we got our target audience correct as men and women are interested in our media product.
