Who would be the audience for your media product?


The audience for my products would be, mainly, young adults. This is because the on-screen portrayals of both the caracters and their activities are accurate to a similar age range to my own. It is this element that made me and other group members 'prosumers', in the essence that we have created a film that we and our generation can enjoy. A critique could say that this stereotypical portrayal of girls at a sleepover is very cliche, which takes away from the horror element of the movie.

Our cast is 100% female, which means it could be intented fore a largely female audience. On the other hand, the portrayal of women as sexually objectified could attract a strong heterosexual male audience, though some may say it is shallow or narrow minded to define the sexes in such terms, meaning our product can be enjoyed equally by both genders.

The lack of ethnic representation could affect the target audience of our piece. All of our characters are white caucasian, showing that we, as a group, are not fully representing the ethnic diversity within british society. This could, arguably, narrow our target audience, though some may argue this is not a factor in a constantly globalising society.
