Who would be the audience for your media product?
Stockholm Syndrome would bring in people that enjoy
thrillers and mystery this could apply to a varied age range but in particular
we are appealing to young adults, so 16- 25. Our product has done this by casting
our main character as someone who is within that age range as our target
audience will feel as though they could possibly relate to her character.
Although we are assuming more males will watch this rather than female, we can
see that there could be a chance of more females seeing our product because our
lead is of them same gender meaning they can also connect with her character.
Yet still may appeal to males because of the genre and male gaze.
How did you attract/address your audience?
So connecting
back to what I said about the male gaze and females being able to relate to our
main character, having a female lead brings in both genders. Usually thrillers
with males as a lead implies there could be more of an action element. We want
our film to allow the audience to question character’s motives and what their
next move is going to be, and our audience would probably be reformers or
explorers which is why our opening sequence is edgy and hasn’t many clues to
the main narrative because this is how we want the audience to engage, nothing
is going to be over the top we need an intense audience for an intense film.
