Question 4: Who would be the audience for your media product?
Who would be the audience for your media product?
As our genre is a teen drama we have decided that our target audience would be from the ages of 12-18, also we feel that the gender is important and because it is a film about three girls and a scrapbook and memories etc, we think that the audience would mostly be female. I think the target audience we have set for this film is appropriate as the film would appeal for them as it girly and exciting. We also think that the age is appropriate as if we set it to younger ages, they wouldn't understand the concept of amnesia which is a our main theme, this is our audience research and this is what we predict our audience will be, I have made a questionnaire for people to complete so I can get a better knowledge of who our audience is.
These are the questions I asked:
I questioned 20 people and for questions 1 and 2 I created a chart showing the genders in relation to the age, so it shows 8 male answered my questionnaire and 12 female answered it.
For this question it is shown that a lot more females like teen dramas than males do. These are the reasons why:
Yes

- The scrapbook - this is the most important prop as it features all her memories into her past and brings to life one of the memories which roll into the others.
