QUESTION 4: WHO WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT, AND HOW DID YOU ATTRACT/ADDRESS YOUR AUDIENCE?

After researching into the target audiences of thriller I started to take into consideration my personal target audience for my own psychological thriller, I believe that I would have a big age range from 16-40. My audience would be stereotypically an ‘average’ person.

In my opinion, this would be an average member of my target audience, obviously the younger age group. Female;17-20.

Music that the younger females would typically listen to would be Beyoncé and popular artists like this. Female artists that are considered idols.

After creating my avatar I decided too take some images of my real target audience.

I believe that this age audience would be interested in watching programmes on TV, such as Waterloo Road.

The majority of my target audience I believe would dress like this. Clothing that an ‘average’ person would wear.

I placed my avatar in a white top and jeans as this is just a simple fashion and what I would consider an ‘average’ member of my target audience.

Interests may involve sports and interacting with friends/socializing.

Further more I created another avatar using CustomSouthParks.com, I created a Male avatar that would represent my target audience in their teenage years. I then decided to carry on to take images of a human form person from my target audience.

I placed this avatar in plain clothing as well as it reflects the simple fashion of an average person.

Younger generation would typically watch films that involve horror and thriller, such as The Ring, Inception, and many more.

The younger generation would most probably be in school/college/university.

Listen to mainstream music that is in the charts, also watch programmes such as Eastenders and channels like BBC.

I then went on to create an avatar that would represent a older subject from my target audience. Around the age of 30-40. The older generation would typically watch East enders and Coronation Street etc. on TV .

Aged 30-40, typically would listen to artists such as Michael Buble which is a main reason why I decided to use some of his music in my film opening.

The necklace insinuates she is fashionable; I dressed this avatar in these clothes, as I wanted them to be plain and nothing that is extra ordinary clothing.

Finally I created an avatar that represented a man aged 30-40. The avatar is very similar to the image as the subject in the photograph I believe would be a typically man from my target audience. Dressed in every day clothes.

I decided to dress her in well respectable clothing, which shows she a lot of maturity, these clothes would be from a normal high street shop such as Marks and Spencer’s, this is where I think my older target audience would shop.

Green bland colours as may not take as much interest in clothes as may be busy working or with family.

Watch a lot of the local/BBC news and business news.

May have children so spends a lot of time in company with them.

May listen to bands such as Oasis, U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers etc.
