Evaluation Task 4 - Social Media Page - Who would be the audience for your media product?

After doing interviews, asking questions and researching, we came to the conclusion that our target audience for our thriller opening sequence was males between the ages of 18-20. I constructed a 'Facebook' page to give an example of the type of audience that would consume and enjoy our thriller sequence. See it below.

As you can see from his profile, 'John Smith,' enjoys playing video games, such as Call of Duty. In addition to this, his profile picture is of him gaming with his VR headset. Due to the fact that our thriller is the inside of a VR game, I believe that he would thoroughly enjoy the thriller sequence. Extrapolating it further; John is just an example of a large demographic that plays FPS (first-person-shooters) and has an interest in VR. Due to this, our target audience is what I think is who would actually pay, and be engaged by the film.

Our research indicated that this demographic had the most interest in VR and FPS, and so is our target audience.

As you can see from his personal interest,  John enjoys gaming and VR. In addition to this, he has an interest in both action and thriller movies- which is exactly what our sequence is; a high octane action thriller. For example, what seems to be his favorite film is 'Fight Club,' is a good example of a contemporary thriller with a lot of action. Due to this, our film would be perfect for him.

Thousands of John Smiths' exist in the world, and so I believe that it will not be hard to actually obtain our target audience when it comes to exhibiting our thriller.
