Who would the audience be for your media product?

This is the typical audience:

TIna:

She is 17 and lives in Birmingham. She attends the local sixth form. Her favourite films are The Sixth Sense, Hide and Seek and the Saw films. Her favourite type of music is either pop/indie. She gets her clothes from shops like New Look and Topshop and at weekends she goes to parties or has friends around her house. Films that her and her friends have seen at the cinemas this year are Paranormal Activity, Frozen and Shutter Island. Her favourite programmes are the soaps, X-factor, and skins- anything with a bit of drama in it. She has a part- time job which gives her quite a bit of money a week.

The certification that was decided for The Bloody Copycat was 15, so obviously the audience will be over that age.
When in my research and planning I was trying to find out the audience interested in our film I sent some friends and family a questionnaire, the ones that I found were in interested in the thriller genre and the films similar to ours were males, usually 16 +.

I think that Tina would be attracted to our film because the films she has seen at the cinema previously are similar to ours. Also most cinema goers are aged between 16- 24 so she fits into this age range. Because she has a part time job this means that she can afford to pay to go to the cinemas. Also she is form the same age range, occupation and gender to the victim in the film, meaning that she is more likely to relate to her.
