Film Opening Coursework. EVALUATION - TASK FOUR.

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



This is Owen Davies and Kasia Miller. They're both 17 and go to sixth form. Kasia is taking Photography, English Language, Food Technology and Sociology at AS level and Owen is taking Graphics, Business and English Literature at AS level. Kasia likes watching horror films with her friends even though they scare her to the point she can't sleep that night and she loves going out, drinking and socialising. Owen doesn't like drinking or drugs but loves to play football with his friends for his local football team. He also loves watching social realism films such as Trainspotting because they're realistic and he can easily put himself in the characters shoes and feel as if he is living their life for the few hours the film is on for. Kasia's favourite TV program is American Horror Story because she likes how it's very confusing and you have to pay a lot of attention to it to fully understand it. Again, she doesn't like the fact that it's really scary but she thinks that's part of the thrill of it. Owen's favourite TV program is Breaking Bad because he likes watching all the fighting and the many twists in the plot. Kasia listens to a lot of indie-rock music like The Maccabees and The Arctic Monkeys but does enjoy listening to remixes of popular songs because she can party and dance to them whilst still knowing the words. Owen listens to dub-step and drum and bass music because he likes the strong bass lines and fast rhythms. Kasia likes to buy her clothes from stores such as American Apparel, Pull and Bear and Topshop because they're always in with the new fashion, even though she doesn't like the price tag at all. Owen likes to buy his clothes as cheap as he can because he likes to save his money, so he'll buy his clothes second hand from eBay or in charity stores, however he always make sure he looks good in what he wears and is always in with the latest fashion trend. Kasia doesn't like going to the cinema because she thinks it's too expensive so she uses websites such as Netflix and LoveFilm to watch films on, she can also find some really good indie films on these websites that wouldn't normally be shown in cinemas or even on TV. Owen doesn't go the cinema often either but he'll go if there is a new film out which he desperately wants to see. The trailers are the deciding factor for him whether he'll go see it and he doesn't pay attention to who directed the film, who produced it etc. Kasia doesn't like it when films are too intense and she likes them to have a little bit of light-hearted fun in them whereas Owen prefers his films to be really intense the whole way through as it leaves a lasting impression on him. 


Overall, our media product is mostly aimed at teenagers aged between 16-18 as they would relate to the film opening a lot more than people in an older age bracket as youth culture has changed drastically over the last few years.
