Evaluation Of Thriller Film "Captured" Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?
 Our target audience would be  male between the age of 16 and 25 because this is a large range to aim at and the audience targeted like similar films to ours. They would watch films like Se7en and Essex Boys. This is because they are violent gritty thrillers than target males between the age of 16 and 25.

· 
These are just some of the examples that they might watch which are all similar to our film to some extent. In Maslow's Pyramid of Needs our audience would be placed in the self-actualisation section. This is because our film is problem solving, it has spontaneity and its creative. These are the things that self actualisers want; they want something out of the ordinary. Our audience would also be considered as individuals; although this may not be the vast majority it is specific which is what we are aiming for. Our audiences main "Social value group" would be self actualisers, these people are focused on people and relationships, individualistic and creative, they enthusiastically explore change. Our audience would be C1 and B. These are the higher middle class and lower middle class citizens that have supervisory, clerical, administrative and professional occupations. Together it is 51.4% of the population which is a large audience.
I think that our film is more aimed at males but could identify with women. This is because the female character can be related to by other females who have a similar problem with their father. Looking at the IMDB user ratings of Se7en, males find this a better film than females do. This is what i think our thrillers reception would be similar to but closer as our film has a woman that they can relate too just like the wife in Se7en . She is a  marginal character.
