As my media product is based around the theme and genre of romance, it is more likely to have a target of a female audience. It is a fact that real romantic films attract women rather than men. Although the target audience is for women, it is not saying that men will not view my media product; it’s just the chances are lower. The target audience is women because there is a strong, main female character in my media product and some of the issues she goes through are relatable to almost every single women. For example, an unwanted break up, making an effort for the one you love and girls nights out (would have been shown later in the film). Women can emphasise with the main character and they can generalise the plot to fit their own experiences which is why a women audience is more likely because they imagine they are the main character too.
I would say that the age of my media piece would appeal to 14-25 year olds. I think this because at 14 you are ready to see chick flicks with your friends and you want to relate to the main character. There are some mild sexual scenes which is why I would not expect a younger audience because they may not understand. There are no references to violence, drugs, blood or gore or I would expect the age range to be much higher. I think that people who are 18 – 25 are very suitable as they are the age range that can emphasise the most with the plot, therefore I think they would enjoy my media project the most.
My media piece would appeal to any race; there are no references to certain races and it is not an issue.
