Evaluation: Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

In correlation with the narrative and the way that we tell it through our work with camera, we as a group have concluded that our target audience is male teenagers and young adults. This is due to the similar age in our main protagonist (Jake Scofield, played by Liam Hemsworth) and also because of the dark and savage tone we've set out to establish which, stereotypically speaking, won't appeal to females, especially those of a younger age. We also have constant swearing in our narrative, while we also present the elements of deception and corruption in a very negative light, which some younger audiences may find discomforting. Similarly, we also convey the main female protagonist (Emily Thorne, played by Amy Adams) in a very sexual light that could be interpreted as offensive in the eyes of female audience members.

To summarise, we have based our target audience on the nature of our film's content and how each theme is addressed, whether it's visual or merely implied, while also taking into consideration who the narrative would appeal to, especially seeing as this is a typical example of the crime/drama subgenre.
