Evaluation Part 2 Who Would be the audience for my product?

Whilst producing my thriller, I had to make it sure it met my target audience. My main target audience was teenagers who were interested in scary movies and dark media texts, such as gothic books and horror movies, also judging by the narrative of our thriller, we picked people who had a fair amount of knowledge on the paranormal genre. To make sure we had an exact knowledge of who we were targeting, we conducted some researched which was in the form of questionnaires; we looked at areas such as media consumption, different thriller interests and the general enjoyment of thrillers, to establish wide range of topics, I found this research to be particularly effective in terms of deciding on the style of our thriller. We found that out that most people preferred a more fast paced thriller (from the high percentage of Prison Break), this in effect made us choose a faster paced narrative. We also knew that not a lot of people watched thrillers annually, therefore we had make our opening sequence more gripping and in turn more eye catching from the very start. We gathered that our target audience was male teenagers so we put this into practice by using a burglar this connates crime/violence.
