Question 4: Who would be the audience for your media product?

Andrea Pegasiou

I have looked at several film review magazines in order to decide which would be most likely to carry

reviews and adverts on our film. Most magazines I looked at focus mainly on big blockbuster films

and well-known actors. For example, Empire and Total Film magazines are entirely focused on the

large box office films. Famous actors and actresses are featured on the front of them in order to

attract a large audience.If a magazine was to carry our reviews and adverts for our film, I think IFQ

(independent film quarterly) would be an appropriate choice. This particular magazine focuses

mainly on independent films and upcoming film makers. They also focus on film festivals. As our film

is independent and we have a low budget, we would use film festivals as a way to distribute our film.

IFQ would be likely to take notice of our film if it were to be shown at a film festival.IFQ also

interviews independent film makers, making them better known. This is also a good way to promote

our film to a wider audience. IFQ also host their own film festival which our film could also be

promoted through, giving it more recognition. Although IFQ includes independent films in their

magazine, well known films and actors are also featured. I think this magazine would also attract the

right audience to our film as those who are interested in independent films and upcoming film

makers would be read IFQ magazine.

FILM REVIEW “FORGOTTEN”

Founded through our own film festival, Forgotten is one of the most talked about films right now.

Similar films have been made, but nothing quite like this. In the beginning, the film may remind you

of the “Bourne” trilogy and before many (including myself) watched it; it was expected to be just

another mediocre film. However, by challenging typical thriller conventions, the film makers have

created something truly amazing. Firstly, the main character herself is not what you would expect

from a thriller. For one, she is a woman. This in itself is not your normal find in a psychological

thriller. Although this is not sought to be a big deal in the beginning as her character is shown as

weak and flawed, as many female characters are. Her character develops as we find out more and

more about her past making the female character stronger and tougher throughout the film.This

completely changes the dynamic of the story line, creating something unique. The many enigmas set

up from the very beginning of the film intrigue the audience and captivate their attention. This lasts

throughout the entire film, until you are completely emerged in the action and twisted story line. A

great thriller must always have an unexpected twist within the narrative, shocking the audience.

Forgotten certainly has this. I was not once bored throughout the film and would definitely watch it

again.
