1. 1. Who would be the audience for your media product? Ruby Millard
2. 2. Rating I think that our film would be rated a fifteen because of the violent nature of the story line. One of the characters in the scene is drinking whiskey which may not be appropriate for a younger audience. The main character is also smoking and because of the fashion and nature of the film it almost glamorises these two properties. The basic story line is to do with gangs and assassins which is also a negative and quite aggressive story line which may not be appropriate for younger audiences. With gangs becomes crime such as drug taking and selling, prostitution and theft. The shooting in the OTS is not very aggressive but the thing that comes after it on our story board, dragging a body into a river, is slightly twisted and may be distressing for a younger audience. There is no dialogue in our OTS because it is dominated by a strong piece of music. With the lower class cast there would be a lot of swearing in the film with maybe degrading comments to certain groups of people because of the time in which it is set.
3. 3. Gender I think that our film would a attract mainly who is being represented in the story, men. The same audience would be attracted to action and adventure films. People who like crime and spy movies. Stereotypically this is mainly men. The young male actors in the OTS could almost be someone for teenagers to look up to, for young men it could be a relatable age to be and for older men it could be looking back at the past. For all they may tend to put themselves in the shoes of the main character or the people around the main character. It gives an audience a sense of escapism and sometimes when your life is the usual rat race seeing a film which is quite adventurous make you forget about that. Women may be attracted to the film because of the same reasons that men are. Its just the stereotypical film which is made for film based on the story line. I think the aspect of our film which will be attractive to both genders is the stylised aspect of it. The setting is basic but quite fashionable. The clothing is simple, smart and of an era which people like to be consumed in whilst watching films. The soundtrack is modern which contrasts against everything. This gives people a neo noir experience.
4. 4. Age Our film will attract anyone from fifteen upwards because of the rating. I think that if we did not have the modern and testosterone filled sound track it may have struggled to attract a younger audience. I think it may have seemed quite depressing because of the grey setting. Its defiantly a sound which would make you look up from your mobile phone or newspaper if you heard it on the tv because of its boldness. In my feedback from the OTS we asked a range of age what they thought of the opening title sequence, all of them gave similar positive feedback and said that they would be interested in watching the film even if it was not usually there sort of thing. Achieving a new audience is something that I think we were definitely aiming for. We tried to attract all ages with stylising which has been really positive. Reaching a larger audience is what we wanted, we wanted a lot of people to enjoy the same thing in the same way which would create discussion around our film.
5. 5. Location I think our film is made for regular cinema goers who enjoy going to the cinema to watch films. They may like to dress up in the same time period as the film which is on to make an event of the whole thing. Organisations allow fans of films to dress up and watch films in a location which suit the film. I hope that this would be the same reaction to our film. Alternatively to this I can picture it being shown in an art house cinema to keep it small and isolated.
