3. DECIDING THE AUDIENCE!
Before we began to create our media final product we had to think about
certain things that would attract certain audiences and who we would want our
actual audience to be so that we could decide what age group we would aim at
being our target audience. however me and the rest of my group all decided
that we wanted our thriller to appeal to a younger audience as they would
enjoy watching our thriller as it is based around teenagers and is slightly creepy
which teenagers love!! So from there we had decided that we would wanted
our target audience to be around a young age, mainly teenagers.
4. FINDING OUT ABOUT WHAT
TEENAGERS LIKE!
I decided to put out a questionnaire on to my Facebook page ( where my
friends are teenagers ) to find out what kind of thrillers my peers liked and
what different conventions they enjoyed seeing in thriller films (E.g villians,
hero's, MaGuffins ). Choosing teenagers as a target audience was definitely our
best option as our peers are all the same age it was easy to find out what the
age group liked and what they would want to see and enjoyed about various
different thriller films.
6. As we had decided on our target audience of teenagers we had to research in
more depth into what the certain age group would enjoy to see in thriller films
and their openings. As we chose teenagers we realised that our target audience
was the same age range as myself my group and our peers so it was alot easier
than we thought it would be to find out the likes and dislikes of what
teenagers like in thriller films. We looked at various different thriller films that
we had enjoyed watching to get lots of idea's for our own production. We
also made a audience profile of our two friends Ella and Leo to show the age
range and what they enjoy
