QUESTION 4 - Rough Edit

-->
Who would be the audience for your media product?

The target audience for our media product is 25-30 year olds; we chose this age group because Noir is more of a sophisticated genre. We think 25-30 year olds will most likely understand a more complex storyline compared to teenagers. This links back to question 2 about age because adults are expected to understand it better. Films that are similar to our opening sequence ‘The disappearance of Nancy Adams’ are ‘The Big Combo’ and ‘Se7en’. In my audience research I found out that Se7en is the most popular film Noir preferred by my audience; we incorporated this by making our opening sequence more modern. Both these Noirs link into ours because they are also aimed mainly at adults because of the inappropriate violent scenes shown; this type of genre will be enjoyed and understood a lot more by an older audience. Another Noir is LA Confidential, which is actually what our opening sequence is based on; the target audience for this is around the same as ours because again there are a lot of inappropriate scenes such as violence. In my audience research I also found out that most people prefer crime and detective type themes, tried to incorporate our film by creating it with that narrative. I also found out that my audiences wanted to see a busy city for film Noir therefor we tried to use sounds to make it seem like a busy city as we don’t live in one and also they preferred it to be set in New york but as we could not make that happen, we tried to use accents. 


This question will be presented through an audio tape of us explaining more about the audience.
