Evaluation- Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

My results from the survey that I carried out showed 95% of the answers were from people aged 16-20. These results allowed me to plan our Thriller based on the answers that we received. As a result of this and the fact that the results allowed us to create a Thriller specifically for this age range, we would set the age certificate as a 15. I did some research into the age certificate, using the bbfc website. ( http://www.bbfc.co.uk/what-classification/15) This website said that rated 15 movies usually include discriminatory behaviours and I think that if our Thriller was a full film we would see this behaviour, specifically sexist behaviours. It also noted that strong violence is allowed in 15 movies, again our Thriller would display this specific activity if it were to progress into a full movie. For these reasons, I decided that the 15 rating would be most suitable for our Thriller- 'CUTS'.

We casted teenagers in our Thriller as we wanted a younger audience and younger actors would keep the audience interested. The results also showed that there was an equal amount of boys and girls who answered my survey.

Results from 'How old are you?'- shows 95.65% aged 16-20.

Results from 'What is your gender?'- shows 50% Female, 50% Male.
