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

This is an image of what i imagine my target audience to look like. They are teenagers/young adults who would still be in education and would be middle class.               
 
‘Blitz’ is a film based in Britain during the Second World War, therefore there would be a very niche British audience. Although the film may travel to the United States it is unlikely to get a long cinema release there, so it would mainly be focussing on a DVD release. Because of the era of the film there may be some people who lived in the time of the war that may wish to see our film. However it is a thriller therefore the main target audience would be one of 15-25 year olds. The secondary audience would be 26-37 year olds.

                                                 

The primary audience is very likely to still be in full time education or further education therefore we would need to make the film interesting to them solely. Many young people are unable to afford a ticket to the cinema so the main audience would probably be on DVD purchase two months after the release in cinema.

                                         

The sole audience would definitely be British as the film centres around Britain and uses a British cast. Although the film would hopefully show in America we are not expecting the main audience to come from there. British children would have been taught about the Second World War from a very young age and probably even have close family members who were involved. This may encourage them to see the film as it puts a fun twist on history.

The majority of the people going to the cinema to view my film would be middle/upper class as they can afford the tickets and confectionary, also people still in education as you get the special ticket prices/offers. The film would be given a 12a certificate, so young children would not be able to see this film. The fact that it is a 12a means that some tweens would also be able to see the film in the cinema and not have to wait until it was on DVD. Adults may go and see this film with their teenage children. Others who may not usually see the film may see it because there is a special offer on like Orange Wednesday.
