Final Opening Sequence - The Case

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

When creating our opening sequence we had the idea of making a film for a cult audience. In developing the audience we had ourselves in mind, as without particularly meaning to, we made a film that we would enjoy watching. We are fans of Thriller and Film Noir and this is where I think our primary audience would lie. Here is a short profile of what sort of person would watch our film in my opinion. I have also taken into account the results from our questionnaire:

Age : 16-30
Gender : Male
Job : Most probably an office job, nothing too specialised
Favourite Genre of Film : Thriller/Crime

Our film would probably have only a national audience as in Question 3 I pointed out that it would be unlikely to be shown worldwide. Our secondary audience could relate to a few different groups. I think our film could be liked by people who work in the arts, as it uses lots of stylistic features in the lighting and editing, and also people in the same line of work as the protagonist. Mentioned in Question 2, a fellow detective might relate to the feeling of stress that our main character feels and find the film interesting on that level.

People who enjoyed the films "Sin City" and "Blade Runner" would probably also enjoy our film as they were our main inspirations in style and character types, as we followed conventions and stereotypes from each throughout.
