Evaluation Question 4 by Jamie Sykes

Evaluation Question 4 - Who would be the audience for your media product?

The likely audience of our film would primarily consist of teenage to middle aged men. The audience would mainly be employed in some capacity and have discretionary income to spend on luxuries like going to the cinema, purchasing a DVD, or streaming online. The audiences interest in the film depends somewhat on their preferences in media consumption, specifically genre. Those who enjoy similar crime, action-thriller films will also enjoy our film.

To analyse the audience we should market our film towards, we carried out a pre-production questionnaire which is featured on our blog. It details specifics on our audience including age, gender, and media preferences. Following the basis of our research we composed a target audience profile which we included in our film treatments. The consensus was that action films were popular and people took interest in our film who would potentially pay to see it. These people fit our age range and were mostly employed.

It is important to understand the target audience in which you plan to market your film towards to maximise potential revenue, misunderstanding your demographic is one of the reasons some films don’t succeed.
