2. Question 3:What kind of media
institutions might distribute your media
product and why.
3. My film is targeted at teenagers and young adults.
Looking at the data to the right on The Numbers website
the top 10 films under the Thriller/ Suspense category
are all PG-13 which shows that these films target the
younger audience and are all very successful. Films such
as Mean Girls and Project X are targeted at the younger
generation due to their stereotypical High School comedy
and outrageousness. I then merged that with the genre of Mystery, the TV show Crime Scene
Investigation is targeted at the older audience due to the dramatic storylines and twists in the
tale. I believe this would help bring two different sets of target audiences to watch my film.
Young female audiences are also very interested in magazines like OK and Hello, these
magazines feature the lives of women that this audience aspire to be like this links to my film as
the audience can follow the lives of the central female roles such as the main character, her
friends and the shy girl. On the other hand the younger male generation enjoying magazines
like Nuts and Playboy because of the female contact within them, this also helps relate to my
film since boys would go along to see the female characters.
Who would be the audience for your
media product?
