The audience for my media product would be aimed at the age of 18 and above due to the plot of the film as it's more of a psychological thrill rather than it is a jumpy, blood and gore type horror. For example this would be the audience that I would aim my media product at:
A young male over the age of 18 would be my first audience. He would be interested in programmes such as CSI
and silent witness which would make this film perfect for his taste in media. This person would watch my film because he is into psychological thrillers and likes the historical aspect to it, he would warm to the opening sequence as it has an element of mystery, and the letters and photographs is something that he may be familiar with in terms of seeing it on other programmes in the past such as CSI or Silent Witness etc.
The reason why I aimed this product at males first is because I think that a majority of men are drawn to these types of films due to the psychological aspect of it, this doesn't mean that I am ignoring women as I do know that some women do go for psychological thrillers (like i do) but I think that women go for films that are more rom com than thrillers. On the other hand this could appeal to a woman as much as it could to a man as the opening sequence features womens hands so a woman might see this as a feminist approach.
I also need to consider who this media product might not be suitable for, for e.g. a young girl or boy under the age of 18:
The reason why this would not appeal to someone of this age group is because they firstly wouldn't understand the film as their knowledge of the outside world is limited due to their age and immaturity, also the thriller aspect may scare them (for e.g. in the opening sequence the sound effects of the hearbeat and the logo would not appeal to somebody of this age group - see link at bottom) which is why I've put such a high age on my audience as aiming it at this audience would be completely wrong and I would receive very bad feedback.
