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

This is an image of the cast from the popular TV series skins, I have chosen this picture because I think that is depicts the target audience for my film very well. I think that this target audience will make this particular film a great success due to the link between cinema, facebook and age this is because Young people aged 15 to 24 are the most likely age group to go to the cinema. In 2002, 50 per cent of this age group reported that they went to the cinema once a month or more in Great Britain, compared with 17 per cent of those aged 35 and over. When you consider those statistics and the fact that the age range that uses facebook this most is 18 – 25 which is very similar to the largest group of cinema customers at the age of 15-24 and the age group that visits the cinema the second most is also the age group that uses facebook the second most, you can begin to see why I believe that this film can be very profitable.


I think people who use facebook would be more likely to come and see this film then people who don’t this is because although our film is not entirely about social networking it does centralise its plot over them and as social networking sites are very popular there is an element of “angel dust” being a pre-sold film, but in this modern generation we live in the film is not pre- sold in the form of a book or a comic or a theatre production but instead a massively popular website this makes our film very unique and i think that as technowlogy and the world wide web advances and become more popular we will begin to see many other films with that same element of the main concept being pre-sold. I think that the audience will be primarily men because generally genre horror is more popular amongst men than women.

this graph shows the ages of people who visit the cinema it can be usefull for helping us to predict how much money angeldust will make and help the film make more money by making the target more suitable and aiming the film at the largest market acording to the graph wich is 15-24.

this pie chart shows us the age of facebook users, as we can see the largest age for them is 18- 25 so it makes perfect sense to make a film centralised on the idea of facebook as it will atract the 18-25 year olds and seeing as that group is the age where people go to the cinema the most the film has the potentiol for sucess.
