Who would be the audience for your media product?

The audience for my media product will be a similar age to the actors in my thriller. I chose to do this as audiences are often more interested in something if the actors are a similar age to them. The audience will be around the age of 15-25 however older adults may choose to watch with younger adults. We have chosen the age certificate to be 15 as some of the content could be seen as disturbing to children younger than that. This is due to the disturbing murder and the mental illness the killer has to go through. Also the other horror/thrillers we viewed that had similar content also had a 15 age certificate. We aimed our thriller at a middle/working class group, however this does not mean other social groups will not enjoy it. We aimed it at a middle class social group due to the fact they have the largest population therefore there will be a larger audience, and higher viewing figures. We did this by assessing certain problems that are common in the world today. For example the mental illenss issue that some people can relate to and others want to know more about. However in order to make the thriller more interesting to the audience we over exaggerated elements of this.
