Who would be the audience for your media product? Draft Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?





As you can see from the video above we interviewed 3 different people. James Merry, Antonia Moss and Lyle Dalgleish. We interviewed these three people because they all fitted out target audience. Having recorded them myself and them questioning them more behind the scenes for additional information, I am now aware of what type of films my three people watch and why.

James Merry is 16, he is from Crowthorne and is very keen on Media studies. James has been a real film fanatic ever since he was a little boy, ranging from animatronic movies like toy story to action packed bond movies. He is a fan of all genres but mainly watches: Action, Thriller, Horror, Comedy and Drama films. He also said he has his weak moments when he sits on the sofa and when theres nothing on TV, he would pop a romantic movie on, as he loves it when theres a happy ending. James told me he visits the cinema on average twice a month, although he said it depends on whether theres more good films out one month than another. He is very update with new converging technologies because he said he likes to watch a lot of films on Netflix. James fits our target audience because he's a film fanatic, he likes Horror and Thriller movies and he is the exact age we are marketing towards.

Antonia Moss is 17, she is Crowthorne and has always enjoyed watching films. Antonia said she has a real passion for Disney films as they have always played a part in her life. Ever since she was a little girl she watched all the animatronic movies that disney had to show, only recently has she departed from the animatronic movies and has moved onto the more Horror and action packed movies. Antonia said she enjoys watching films on sky movies and anytime tv as they always have the latest movies on for show. Antonia said to me "I can't believe I've missed out on all these amazing genres of films over the years, because I have been shocked as to how I've been so drawn in by romantic comedies and Thriller movies".

Lyle is 17, and also lives in Crowthorne, Lyle is troy passionate about the film industry and knows almost every film you say! Lyle enjoys every genre of film out there apart from romantic movies, he said "they make me feel sick, because they are so cringy". Lyle has always been a massive fan of sci-fi and Horror movies, he likes mysterious and spooky films that may have a plot twist. He said "the best way a film can draw in its audience is by leaving the audience questions as to how something has happened, then at the end of the film the plot is revealed so the audience can see if they were right or not". Lyle has a Lovefilm account and loves to rent out movies with his family, he also loves going to the cinema around twice a month, depending on what movies are out on certain months. Lyle said that once a year he gets treated by his dad, where he takes lyle to see a very good film in an Imax theatre in London.

These 3 people are class mates of mine and they all have a passion for the film industry. They all have a keen interest for Thriller and Horror movies and they say they watch about 2 every month. They either rent them from blockbuster, watch them online or buy them from HMV etc.
