Who would be the audience for your media product?

Our media product is aimed to attract people between the ages of 15-24; this age group are the most frequent cinema goers. We have chosen this age group to indirectly inform young women how powerful men can appear to be. Also this age group seems to be the most popular therefore we have a mass audience into where teenagers will benefit from.

It is aimed to be a British film mainly aimed at British audiences. We have aimed our opening sequence specifically at young adults as it is a crucial time in their life when they are starting to become adults and experiencing life for what it really is. Our film shows that there can be major problems growing up and that life isn't all good and various obstacles can block your way. Our film shows people what is actually going on in every day life, we see many things happening on the television or in the media and our opening sequence shows these in more detail to make people aware, especially children that the world isn't always a safe place.

The film will attract both males and females as it includes and portrays both genders in stereotypical ways. In our film opening, Lucy appears vulnerable and is easily intimidated by boys of a similar age. This relates to society because many young girls feel this way, and in particular by others of a similar age. She has been kidnapped by a thug, dressed in dark clothing, a typical representation for teenagers. Warren is portrayed as an aggressive male teenager who prays on young females. He threatens Dwayne in the opening sequence which makes him seem better than everybody else although they challenge him.


We would give our film a rating of 15 because of the violence throughout the film. A film is attached with a 15 rating usually consists of sexual content, bad use of language and violence. Our film in particular could contain all of these elements in the remainder of the film. Both the films we analysed, Taken and Memento, are rated 15 due to violence.
