Q4: Evaluation: Target audience for media product.

target audience is usually determined by the genre of the film. the genre of our film is psychotic thriller. this is your typical innocent guy act before he shows his true side to unsuspecting victim, by which time, its too late. these genres have a very gory sense to them. the violence, scenes of torture and sometimes sexual scenes, all of which are inappropriate for people aged under the age of 18. these scenes can be very disturbing for young viewers and we intended to include such scenes into our film opening so we set our target of around 18-30. we didn't think people aged 30+ would be interested in such a film yet a much younger yet appropriately aged group of people would be able to understand the conventions of our film.

the following thriller movies share our thriller genre, some also share our sub genre of psychotic thriller.

the two videos below are of feed back from our target audience after a viewing at the local cinema.
