Evaluation- Question 4

Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

The general target audience for our film are teenagers and young adults that enjoy psychological horrors; typically they would be aged 15-30. Our film psychosis was not targeted to a specific gender, race or class. However we suspect that our film would be most popular with teenagers and young adults due to the horror factor that might disturb older people. The audience would be people that find mental health issues interesting, or simply people that are interested in horror films. 

During the production we created a questionnaire with questions that told us about the audience and what they thought about the plan of our film, Psychosis. A question that we asked was “ what would you assume the certificate to be after reading the opening?” and “Would you watch this and why?” The questionnaire told us that 100% of the people we asked questions to said that they’d be interested in watching our film. It also told us that 60% of the participants thought that our film would be certificate 15, 30% said a certificate of 12, and only 10% of them said they thought it might be a certificate of 18.

We asked people of a different age, gender and occupation, (however it may be biased as 60% of participants were male and 40% were female, this could’ve affected the results) this connotes that a variety of different people would be interested in our film and this suggests that if our film was to be distributed by a major film company that it would be successful.
