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

Our horror film opening is more appealing to a male audience than a female audience because the actors are all male which means there are no character for females to relate to. An example of another film that has just male audiences is Green Street. This is a film about football firms and contains a lot of violence and bad language. This does not stereotypically appeal to females. However an example of a film that is directed to just females audiences is Fifty Shades of Grey. This is illustrated by the graph below.

(Width of circle = how mainstream)

Our film The Last Night falls in the same category as Green Street. The Last Night is not as mainstream as the two films above but has the same codes and conventions that only a male audience would enjoy. It is also aimed at similar ages to Green Street but leaning towards more teenage years. This is because the films actors are all teenagers and the audience can relate to them and their story. The reason Fifty Shades of Grey is more mainstream is because it had a series of bestselling books behind it whereas The Last Night is an independent film.
