Task 54 - Evaluation (Question 4)

Who would be the audience for your media product?

 

As we are acting in the film ourselves the target audience would be teenagers/young adults. There is no specific genre. The main religion/faith targeted would be Muslims as the issue portrayed is one that they’re currently facing. However, this can also target a wider audience as similar issues have happened to people from other ethnicities as well not just people in Palestine.

 

To appeal to the audience the information given should be true and the emotions portrayed must be real. A drama attracts an audience through emotions and how much a person can relate. It needs to develop into something greater and show a journey. It must be intense and be able to grip someone’s attention.

 

People would like to see something that relates to current affairs rather than something that occurred a long time ago as the film will be something new – an idea that has never been expressed before.

Moreover, an audience would watch a drama film as it is something that helps develop their understanding on a specific subject as well as entertaining them. A good drama should be able to express real feelings within a character and covey the truth to the audience.

 

 

The wider audience could be people of older ages as even though the film is based on a young girls struggle, older people are aware of the issue we are targeting and would be interested to learn more about it.

 

Moreover, the YouGov profiles that I created in task 27 were correct in displying the type of people that would consume our film.
