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.
