Two minute opening to a Film

Thriller genre called 'The Statement'

Evaluation 4: Who would be the audience for your media product?

The intended audience of any film is important to consider from the very start of production. I asked people of my target audience to answer a short questionnaire to help me decide certain aspects of my film, as it is important to include what they want to see otherwise they may not be interested.



These are the completed questionnaires a small selection of my audience completed. I used a lot of their ideas and included them into my opening, as I believe the audience’s views are very important when creating a film.




I have filmed these opinions in a relaxed environment, instead of a professional one because I wanted it to appear more natural, relaxed and honest rather than controlled and prepared.


The audience I want for my film is teenagers to young adults of both genders, between the ages of 15-26. I have said this because this is the typical audience of the thriller genre therefore this is the audience I will be focusing on. To incorporate the intended audience into my film I have made the two main protagonists the same age as the audience in order for the audience to connect with them. I have also made them female so that my female audience can place themselves in their shoes and the male audience can be made to feel as if they wanted to protect them or maybe even be attracted to them. I have given my audience great thought when creating my film from the very beginning.
