Who would be the audience for your media product?
For our media product we aimed it to both males and females ages 16 – 25. This age group mainly are interested in the thriller genre. I also looked at socio economic group and thought which one of the groups would be most likely to watch our opening sequence, and it was the groups C1, C2, D and E as they’re from a lower working class background. ‘The Teacher’ would be based in the psychological mystery thriller genre, so it may appeal to the male gender as men like mystery and there is a lot of suspense and tension in out sequence. It may appeal to the female gender also because the character in the sequence is centred around the teacher who is a woman.
In my group we researched what age group it would be suitable for so we would be clear who would be able to watch it and who wouldn't be. We went on the ‘British Board of Film Classification’ (BBFC) website and at first we thought a 12 or 12a classification would suffice but we watched the sequence again and realised that the tension and weapons may be inappropriate for this age range and decided to make it a 15 classification.
