Jess' Evaluation - Question 4

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

• After researching, I discovered that male dominated films mostly attract males, however they attract females a lot to. Therefore the audience for our thriller task 'Omniscient' is male and females, 15-24. The Pearl & Dean website tells me that our target audience also enjoy films such as Shutter Island, which is also male dominated and involved iconography such as guns which naturally attract males due to their love of action.

• The costumes are very similar between 'Shutter Island' and 'Omniscient', which could be another reason why they attract the same target audience, along with other elements of mise en scene such as props (gun). The clothing is very smart, something a detective would wear which creates spectator positioning which could be what attracts the target audience.

• An age range younger than 16 for our target audience wouldn't be suitable due to the weapons and hints of violence displayed in the sequence. Also, an older target audience wouldn't be appropriate as they may not be able to relate to the young characters.
