Who would be the audience for

your media product?

O Captured is based within the genre of thriller.O Thriller films are usually aimed at the

audience of teenagers and young adults 18+O However we are aiming ours at the group 16-

25, both males and females.O Putting it within this category indicates that

our product fulfills the codes and conventions of current thrillers.

O If I had chosen a different audience it could imply I do not feel that our film follows current codes and conventions.

O People we have asked also agree that it would fit within the 16-25 age category.

O The teenager/young adult audience are the group of people who are more likely to go to the cinema compared to other target groups.

O Furthermore these sorts of people are will get the buzz and adrenalin from a thriller film compared to pensioners or kids, for example.

O People may also be able to relate to the storyline of Captured due to the actors chosen.

O Our main protagonist is a pregnant woman, making her vulnerable and innocent.

O Our film also includes a flashback with a child in it.

O The audience may be intrigued as to who these people are.

O Thriller films over the years have begun to include younger actors. Teenagers may also be able to relate to these actors due to them being of a similar age.

O Moreover this category is more likely to be film enthusiasts and try to fill in the blanks of the storyline

O Even though our film targets 16-25, I believe that it would appeal to a slightly older age category because of its high suspense levels.

O Also, it needs an audience who can concentrate for longer and understand what is happening.

O This enhances the overall experience of the film.
