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

The BBFC for our production, Breathless, is a 15; the reason being is that we feel that those older than 15 will be able to relate to this more than those younger than 15, also it may not be age appropriate for those that are younger. Furthermore, an 18 would be too old for our viewers as they are mainly teenagers according to the data we had collated. A 12 is too young as it may affect a child psychologically due to the sound effects that may play on the child's primal fears as well as the antagonist that plays a role in the production. The following are examples of those from our target audience:Name: Ryanna Patel Age: 16 Likes: Shopping, music, horror films, T.V. Programmes, watching TV Ryannas favourite TV programmes consist of Revenge, Arrow, Scandal, Homeland etc. The reason as to why I believe that viewers similar to Ryanna make like our media product is mainly due to the fact that she likes horror films, she is a teenager and therefore part of our target audience and also, the character within the production is very relatable as she too is a teenaged girl at home alone and many teenaged girls are left at home alone now-a-days if there parents are to be home from work later than expected.

Name: Moe Ahmed Age: 24 Likes: indie-rock music, horror films and psychological thrillers. Moe is within the age category of our target audience which ranged from around early teenaged years to those in their thirties. The reason as to why I believe Moe would be part of the target audience to my media product Breathless is due to the fact that he enjoys horror films and many films similar to my media product e.g. When a Stranger calls.

General teenagers: As shown in the pictures there are many teenagers in a group, they mainly share the same dislikes and likes such as a liking towards horror films. These pictures not only contain teenagers, however, they also contain adults aged from ages 27-33. This target group varies and ranges in terms of ethnicity, age and gender. After having conducted my own personal research, I had found that many horror films especially those similar to mine - have a BBFC of 15 as it does not contain any material that is likely to cause too much harm or offend.

Our productions aim was to bring tension around and play on the audiences primal fears as this is what a horror film is expected to do. Our sound effects, use of cinematography, mise-en-scene and editing allowed us to help reach the full potential of this production.

Personal reviews from those in our target audience range: Stefan Schuller: 16 year old Sixth Form student I thought the build up to the ending of the production was very well thought through. The antagonist reminds me a little bit of the antagonist from The Ring overall, I thought it was really good. Manisha Sandhu: 18 year old Sixth Form student I love horror films and this opening sequence seemed to have a very good storyline. After having read the 90 minute synopsis, I was hooked. The production definitely did the synopsis some justice. Amira Ahmed: 22 year old University student I thought the opening sequence had a very good idea to it and Id love to see the entire production. Thomas Clarke: 33 year old Car Salesman Really good ideas put together and there was a lot of tension. The use of sound effects was well used.
