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

- Genres of films shall all have target audiences as it makes it east for films to aim to the public and people have different interest within what types of films they watch. Knowing your genre of film makes it easier to know which target audience the film is aimed at. The genre of our film is a horror which we came to the conclusion that the target audience which our film shall appeal to is 16 - 24year olds and shall be the certification of 15 or 18. Overall, it shall appeal to teenagers as they usually enjoy the suspense of a horror film and can also enjoy scaring themselves as they like to see how scary the horror films are and if they scare them.
- Knowing that we wanted an target audience of 16 - 24 year olds as we new what to include within our film as we know what shall interest them and what they shall find interesting as we are teenagers ourselves.
- The gender of the target audience of normal horror films shall usually appeal to more males as they are stereotyped being harder to scare and they enjoy watching the gore and aspects which are included in horror films. Whereas the female audience are easier to scare as they obviously come across as more feminine. However, for our film the target audience of gender is mainly aimed at males but we think that more of a female audience shall watch it also as we have included females as the victims and the target audience of females shall want to watch it as it shall relate to them as they are females and the same age as the female shown the in the film.

- Teenagers don't tend to be as picky with what they like and enjoy as there is more of a selection of things which has occurred over the years. The target audience of our film is mainly towards teenagers both of females and males.

- Females and males - teenagers.
- What shops do females and males shop in?
- There is more of a variety of shops and teenagers like to share there own individuality  However, the majority of teenagers like to be in with the fashion. Shops which shall appeal to females are topshop, riverisland and urbanoutfitters these three shops are the mainly shopped at shops from female teenagers as they are known to have the new fashion and the clothes which everyone want. Furthermore, this isn't just the case for female teenagers this also appeals to the male teenagers as they also like to shop in topman and riverisland. More so now females like to wear some male clothes items or there is clothes which are more boyish sold in the section of female shops. However, this isn't the case for males with wearing girl clothes as it wouldn't be right for a male to wear a dress or a skirt they would just get judged and put into a stereotypical group.
 - Music teenagers listen too?
- The music taste of our target audience shall vary as teenagers have there own type of music. Overall, teenagers like the majority of music which is around today which shall be all of the music genres which you are shown today. These shall include, pop, rock, r and b, dubstep and some teenagers enjoy listening to the 90s music which is what there parents listen too. Teenagers tend to like most types and styles or music what is shown in the contemporary UK.
-  Which TV programmes teenagers enjoy?
- Females and males are similar when it comes to TV programmes as there is a limit to what programmes there is to watch. However, there is a stereotype of which genre of programmes females and males like to watch. Females like to watch romances and males prefer to watch action and prefer watching the football channels. However, overall teenagers like watching similar programmes which is why our film is aimed at teenagers. These can include, Geordie shore, keeping up with the kardashians, the big bang theory and programmes like that. Furthermore, females prefer to watch more of the soap TV programmes whereas, males prefer to watch the sport programmes.

- The pathway shall appeal to an audience of teenagers which is who we want it to aim to for our film.
