3. Were the titles clear?

Most answered very clear and well placed

8 out of 10 people fully understood the storyline

Task 4 - Who would be the audience for your media product?

Breakdown of Target audience

•      Primary audience =   Mainly 16-22 years old

•         Equal ratio of male and female viewers

•         Interest in the Physiological thriller genre 

•         Interest in Paranormal activities

•         A secondary audience = Parents/adults

The aimed audience

• With our film “ONE” displaying themes of abandonment and isolation, we aimed our target audience to be from 16-22years.
•  We aimed it to be of interest to adults as well as they would take interest in the unusual occurences of life and relate how these events could happen to their children 
• The product would be of interest to older teenagers as it is mainly about a 17yearold girl, however it’s not your usual teenage high school film.It is based more on family home life.
• It will attract a wide audience of older teenagers and adults as it plays on humanity’s growing fears of loneliness.
• Our film would generally attract an audience that enjoy thriller mysteries. The theme reflects the danger that could occur in everyday life combined with a fictional themed storyline.
• This provokes the audience to consider whether this storyline would happen in reality and who it would happen to.
• The isolation and abandonment affects a larger audience, as the film presents realism of how anyone’s life could be changed at any moment.

We found....

• An average western 17year old
•  middle class teenager

• Average middle class teenage viewers

Task 3 - What kind of medi institution might distribute your media product and why?

Our thriller would be aimed to be taken on by a company like vertigo. Our production is not a high concept film for a company like warner Bros pictures but still has a wide range audience and is aimed for international distribution. Our thriller would be suited to vertigo films as it reflects social realism but with an unknown fictional twist of everyone disappearing.

Our Use of an up and coming, less well known cast also matches the work of vertigo and we would aim for our film to have a platform release and make profit from a large amount of DVD sales. Vertigo also has a wider secondary target audience of 25+ which is cohesive with our product.

.

Vertigo has previously produced thrillers and i think our production would accompany these well:

·         WΔZ

·         The escapist

·         Shotgun stories

·         Monsters

Task 2 - How does your product represent particular social groups?

Our product represents middle class citizens from all cultures. We display the importance of family and the mundane daily life for middle class families. We display how the suburban life can suddenly be turned upside down.

Other media products that represent similar social groups are TV series like...

Desperate Housewives representing a middle class family life society

 The BBC TV series Outnumbered, similarly represents the daily life of middle class society

We took ideas from the these TV series that captivate a wide range middle class audience to make a popular film with a thriller twist.

Additionally our product represents teenagers and reflects an image of a teenager’s ultimate independence when she is left alone.

The use of having a representation of teenagers will interest our primary audience of 13 to 23 year olds, similar to TV series like Skins and several films like....
