THRILLER EVALUATION Q4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Gender of the target audience

Our film would appeal more to a female audience as it portrays

women in a different light to more mainstream film as our

female character is seen as a strong character who takes a

leading role in the action and is a more independent character

which challenges the ideals that the males are the violent ones

who are always the centre of attention and the centre of driving

the plot forward. Our character is the embodiment of the

feminist who strives for equal rights who would appeal to a lot of

females in this day and age. I would compare our female

character in some ways to the female protagonist in Kill Bill Vol.

1 & 2 as she is seen in a very strong and powerful way and

challenges the stereotypical woman.

Eva as a character is an embodiment of what women at that

time would want to do, take power and be in control, instead of

the lifestyle set out for them which is either housewife, trophy

wife or prostitute.

Nationality of the target

audience

Our target audience is mainly those who are British as the

film is shot and based in this country.

The location of our shooting is a very stereotypically

upper class British location and this would appeal to a lot

of people as they could relate to the location which would

make it appealing to them (seen in the picture on the

left.)

In our actual shoot we shot it in black and white and

dimmed the lighting down to give it a more generic noir

feel and also to be like the glum British weather people

are used to so it would be more relatable and contrast

greatly to a more sunshine movie that are more

mainstream.

Age of the target

audience

Our thriller was supposed to appeal to a young open

minded young woman and also the more elderly people

who enjoy the classic noir feel.

We put or opening in black and white to give it a class noir

feel such as the Third Man, so it would appeal to an elderly

audience who were around when these films were

mainstream and more readily available for viewing. It

would also give them a sense of nostalgia which would

appeal to them.

It would appeal to a younger audience as explained in the

previous slide it is supposed to embody a feminist and a

lot of feminist are younger women. It would also appeal

to a young audience because the actress who played Eva

is fairly young she would seem relateable.

What might our generic target

audience member be like?

Our typical character for someone who goes to watch our

movie would be a young feminist who has outer interests

in films such as The Third Man, The Girl With The Dragon

Tattoo (A female who takes revenge on her abuser),

Psycho or The Birds all of which have a very noir feel to

them.

She also might have interests in films with other women

protagonists such as Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2, Thelma and Louise,

Gone With the Wind and The Silence of the Lambs.
