Question Five: How did your media product appeal to your target audience?

 

We tried to appeal to our target audience the best we could for the final media product. We did this by looking at our questionnaire results and trying to use the things that the most people preferred. For example question two of our questionnaire was “What age group do you fall into?” and the most people selected the “18-20” box. This made us realise that the majority of people that would be interested in watching a thriller movie would be around this age mark. This is why we decided to make a movie that was of an 18 age certificate.

 

Another example would be question four “What themes do you prefer within a thriller?” As the two most popular answers were rape and obsession, we decided to make those two themes the most apparent within the movie. This is because it would fit the most people’s preferences and would therefore result in a bigger audience.

 

Question seven of the questionnaire  was “Which lighting technique do you think would add more tension to a scene?” and the most popular answer was “under lighting”. This is why we made sure that we used this lighting technique in our thriller.

I believe that we managed to appeal to our target audience quite well because we tried to stick to what the public wanted the most from us, so we would gain more popularity as it would suit more people in general.
