Who would be the audience for your media product? How did you attract/address your audience?

I think that my intended audience on the whole enjoyed the film, i attracted them with the;

Realistice bits
The opening credits, the build up
Editing
The lighting effects
The music
Dubbing

Not such a fan of the unrealistic bits :/

Those who werent my target had different view of course;

Tended to appreciate despite it not really being their thing
Didnt like the sepia tone
Didnt like the gross knee breaking sound effect
A little bit too dark

They liked the editing
Soundeffects
The fighting - though that was from a male point-of-view

These points show that age and gender play a big part in how the audience will react to the text. What I did within the film was appropriate for my audience, males, aged between 15 and 24, because that's just the kind of things they like, style, action, comedy. However, the slight comedic aspect may have reached to other ages and genders, as some of my unintended audience enjoyed it as well.

I then thought it would be best to do a test screening to see how a range of different people reacted, thse are the results;

These are twenty three of the 40 odd different coments that I got. Most people took a prefered reading to it and just went along with what I had done, accepting the style. Some others took an oppositional reading, where they either dont like the colour, or understand how it's supposed to be a little bit corny - it's near enough impossible to be so!
