Evaluation - Who would be the audience for your media product?

We decided to aim our target audience at a mixed gender aged between 15-30 for people who are interested in thriller films. Our genre is thriller and by researching into thriller films we was able to use similar techniques and camera shots in our films also which created a much more successful thriller opening. To find out our target audience I carried out a questionnaire to help find out specifically who was interested in thriller films. For further research we also showed some people a selection of horror movies and asked which one they preferred, this helped us a lot. Another bit of research we also researched other famous thrillers and analysed them. I think 15 is the youngest age who would be interested in our product as we wouldn't want to scare them as the location is at a park and younger children may be scarred of the park after watching our film. But on the other hand I don’t think people older 30 would be interested in our media product as they could see it to be boring as it's not that scary in comparison to movies which are out at the minute such as Saw movies and paranormal activity etc. I think that our target audience wouldn't be similar to seven as I wouldn't find that 15 year old would understand the film as it is quite confusing to follow but on the other hand I find that taken would have similar target audience as the opening location is a young girls birthday and our film also involved children as well.
