Who is the target audience for my media project?

              

-Our thriller would be targeted at a mature teenage audience as the characters are mostly teenagers.

- It wouldn’t be suitable for people under the age of sixteen as it would involve a lot of psychological trauma.

- I would say that most common type of people that would watch this would be rather generic as the idea itself isn’t particularly original therefore it could be viewed by many teenagers as it is has a “safe” plot (it’s been done before therefore we know that people will like it) quite like in most Hollywood blockbusters where the film is rarely original.

-People who watch such films as “When a Stranger Calls”, “Rear Window” and “Strangers” are likely to enjoy “The Deep End” film because it uses the same ideas of the intruder/stalker, being watched, ignorance and isolation etc.





People would want to continue to watch our film after the opening sequence as it;

-Sets the scene; we are introduced to Bethany and are shown the most important thing in her life is swimming for her county.

-Has an element of danger; after we become acquainted with Bethany and her lifestyle and then we are shown that she is in danger (she is being watched by a dangerous man)

-Has an aspect of excitement; we are shown from shots such as the slow motion shot of Bethany coming up for a breath that her life is intense and exciting which makes the film interesting.
