THRILLER EVALUATION Q4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Gender of the target audience

Our film would appeal more to a female audience as it portrays women in a different light to more mainstream film as our female character is seen as a strong character who takes a leading role in the action and is a more independent character which challenges the ideals that the males are the violent ones who are always the centre of attention and the centre of driving the plot forward. Our character is the embodiment of the feminist who strives for equal rights who would appeal to a lot of females in this day and age. I would compare our female character in some ways to the female protagonist in Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 as she is seen in a very strong and powerful way and challenges the stereotypical woman.

Eva as a character is an embodiment of what women at that time would want to do, take power and be in control, instead of the lifestyle set out for them which is either housewife, trophy wife or prostitute.

Nationality of the target

audience

Our target audience is mainly those who are British as the film is shot and based in this country.

The location of our shooting is a very stereotypically upper class British location and this would appeal to a lot of people as they could relate to the location which would make it appealing to them (seen in the picture on the left.)

In our actual shoot we shot it in black and white and dimmed the lighting down to give it a more generic noir feel and also to be like the glum British weather people are used to so it would be more relatable and contrast greatly to a more sunshine movie that are more mainstream.

Age of the target

audience

Our thriller was supposed to appeal to a young open minded young woman and also the more elderly people who enjoy the classic noir feel.

We put or opening in black and white to give it a class noir feel such as the Third Man, so it would appeal to an elderly audience who were around when these films were mainstream and more readily available for viewing. It would also give them a sense of nostalgia which would appeal to them.

It would appeal to a younger audience as explained in the previous slide it is supposed to embody a feminist and a lot of feminist are younger women. It would also appeal to a young audience because the actress who played Eva is fairly young she would seem relateable.

What might our generic

target audience

member be like?

Our typical character for someone who goes to watch our movie would be a young feminist who has outer interests in films such as The Third Man, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (A female who takes revenge on her abuser), Psycho or The Birds all of which have a very noir feel to them.

She also might have interests in films with other women protagonists such as Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2, Thelma and Louise, Gone With the Wind and The Silence of the Lambs.
