Q4) Who would be the audience for your media product?

Our media product represents a particular social group because of the way it is set out and with the props and settings we used. For example wealthy women wear pearls and make up so we included this in our Torment production witch can attract wealthy people to want to watch our product. The age group for the first task is 25+ and onwards, also people who are interested in the history (1920’s) .
In the first video we made we had objects which were wooden and barley twist which was made in the 1920’s. Also the building we chose to do the steps was a historic place which again fitted our era. We did this to make it realistic and so that it didn’t It was clear from the black and white video, with the furniture and props that it was set in the 1920’s making it seem realistic attracting more older audiences. One of the main props was the gun so we looked for a plastic gun that did look like it was an old one with the brown bits to it. Our second product which is Rumour is aimed at over 15’s because it has bloody scenes in it which would not be appropriate for younger individuals.
The language in our first video was formal English with no slang words in it which would not be difficult to be understood if the audience finds English difficult to understand. In contrast the second one wasn’t formal, it was a typical teenager talk, as they are more relaxed when talking to each other. The language choice was not formal and from their dialogue it was clear that it was like a ‘street talk.’ This would be an important factor as all teenagers speak in a certain way when they are together. Also the clothing they had on was tracksuits which most teenagers wear which would also appeal to them, making it more realistic to the younger audience watching.
The audience that would be perhaps more inserted in the productions would perhaps be teenagers and young adults ranging from 15 to 24. This is because when I researched statistics of who normally watches such films, these were the age groups. It seems to sell since it promises excitement and thrill. Also that the children under the age 15 cannot watch it because of the bloody scenes involved.
