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



This is a picture of our target audience which is mainly made of male with taking up 55% of the overall figure whereas females  is 45%. These statistics are taken from figures such as The Grudge a film with a  horror genre that has a similar style as ours in regards of Zoe one of our main characters. our audience profile has an ages range of 17 years to middle aged, which is dominantly male. This may be because of stereotypes which say  chick flicks are typically feminine whereas Horror/action is typically masculine. Horror is a genre which attracts a wide audience. In terms of shopping and music i feel that this is dependent on the gender to what they wear and listen to as many different types of people enjoy horrors

In terms of clothes i think my group have imagined our typical audience to dress in normal clothes from shops such as primark or top man for the male (in his 20's) and for a female of the same age range i can imagine them to shop in the same kind of shops and new look and places of a similar type. s for the music side i can imagine  them to listen to  again dependent on both age and gender .For  males (17-25) i feel that the genre of  music  that they will listen to will be rap/urban/ chart music with artists such as Eminem/Tinie Tempah as these are typically male. For the upper age range (25-40) i feel the music will perhaps be either more older music such as Micheal Jackson. For  the earlier age range of females the music will usually be chart/ Pop/Rnb with artists such as Rhianna/Adele/ although mainly chart music would suit this target audience.For the upper range music may be outdated again with maybe the same type as the older men e.g. west life/take that  Another assumption is that hard core horror genre lovers will listen to rock music such as My chemical Romance with Music channels such as Kerrang and Mtv Rock. The younger audience will essentially listen to music on  MTV /Kiss/4 Music. The older audience may listen to Channels such as Magic

In terms of our film it effectively attracts its target audience as it contains many horror stereotypes which  include the following:
  •  an innocent girl who posesses purity with such good characteristaion that the audience knows that she will either die or become possessed
  • The monster who strikes slyly but some how always seems to be just out of the picture.
  • lastly  eerie suspending music that gets you through all the jumps and jolts from start to finish.
