For my media product the target audience will be aimed at anyone between the 16 to 30 age group as the opening contains moderate violence and shows scenes of distress so it would not be suitable for anyone below the age of 16. Also some of the content in the opening to the film would be hard for some people to understand such as the time shifts so this is another reason why I have chose a more mature audience for my product. I think that the older audience will benefit from this more because they can understand what is going on and can take in fully what is happening.
I created a questionnaire for a small audience of 5 people to fill out after watching my film opening. For the first question I asked what age rating they thought the film was, the majority answer being 15 as it didn’t have excessive violence. A couple people rated it at 18 suggesting the film opening could be classed as a mature film. For the second question I asked what genre of film would our opening come under. Here we had a mixed view of what genre the film was being between horror and thriller. Out of the 5 the majority picked horror and this may be because of our “Saw” influences. The third question I asked was, in one sentence, tell me what you thought of the opening. For this the majority of people told me that the opening reminded them of a typical horror/thriller opening and that the changes in time were good. They thought that the sound was effective and worked well with the actual opening. So after feedback and research into film audiences I would say that my media product would appeal to possibly a teenager/ young adult.
