Evaluation - Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

The target audience for our media product, a thriller opening, was teenagers above the age of 15.
Through research into the BBFC ratings we decided this was an appropriate age rating for our product as it focused on sensitive subjects such as drug use. For this reason it would not be appropriate for a younger audience as it would be misleading and expose them to inappropriate topics. Having an older audience would ensure that these topics were understood appropriately and with sensitivity.
Teenagers also make an appropriate target audience as they feature as the main characters in the thriller opening. This creates more of an interest in the characters as they can relate to and identify with them, listening to music, having to walk home etc.
