My media product is a crime thriller movie. By being a 'crime' thriller it is a sub genre of 'Thriller' movies. The wider audience for thrillers are usually males around the ages of 16-35. This is for many reasons. One reason is due to the content in thrillers. In thrillers, there are always some sort of violent and graphic scenes. Violence mainly appeals to males as it is a masculine attraction. Also, as thrillers contain violence, it could be disturbing for younger people to watch hence why it has an older audience.
The audience for crime thrillers are fairly similar. The main age range would probably be around 18-35. It would also have a male dominated audience as well due to the content. Crime thrillers inevitably contain violence, and also more explicit stuff like drug use, swearing etc.
The target audience for my own movie is 16-25 males who live in an urban city. This is because of where the movie is set - It's set in gritty parts of london involving council estates, dark alley ways etc. An older audience wouldn't really relate to those types of settings whereas a lot of youths and young adults would. Also, the target audience will be males because the 3 leading actors are all males as well. Also, there are violent scenes such as a shooting and that will appeal more to males than females.

| This is an official Facebook profile page for my film. This Facebook page is just one way of promoting my product to my audience. However, this Facebook page will mainly be targeted at the younger side of my audience - the 16-21 age range. This is becuase that's the age range of most of the day to day users on social networking sites and the ones who will most likely see it. |
