Evaluation Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

I think that for our film the majority of our target audience would be families based in the United Kingdom. This would be because the film is based in Devon in the South West of England so for some countries abroad it would be of no appeal because they may not understand the regional identity. I think our film is appealing too both me and women. Our film you could compare with the British television programme Broadchurch because they both involve a select part of the country and are both crime dramas. Because of this I feel that our film opening and Broadchurch would have very similar audiences.

We feel that the genre of crime appeals more to older 
teenagers and adults but that having the main character being a young girl will draw a more younger generation. Obviously though the story is sad and may not make huge amounts of sense to an audience that is very young which is why we are catering more towards families with older children. I thought this was a nice broad audience so that we didn't limit ourselves with what we could film. I feel that our film can be appealing too teenagers because of the audience research I did when I asked what people our age thought of drama films. 

I feel that we have suited to our target audience of teenagers and families because we have made our film a modern interpretation of the events that happened, so we feel that this will appeal to a younger audience. However because it is based on a true story set in the 70s it may attract an older generation of audiences who will either of heard about it or are just interested because they were alive when it happened.
