Who would be the audience for your media product?

For my media product, the majority of the audience would be mostly teenagers and people early in their twenties from age 15 to 25, mostly men too. The thriller genre is very popular with young people as it consists of a lot of action, chases and killing. My product is no exception from this as both of the characters get shot and the scene is a chase scene. I would think that my film would be rated as a 12 by the BBFC due to the killings, much like most other thrillers. The film would definitely appeal to the mainstream audience as the film is very much like other thrillers, sticking to most of the typical forms and conventions used in a thriller. 


The audience of my film would be comparable to some films such as Batman: The Dark Knight(Nolan:2008) and Casino Royale(Campbell:2006). Both of these films are thrillers that appeal to the mainstream audience. Both of these films are similar to my film as well, use of props such as guns, many chase scenes and similar camera angles. The audience of these films are mainly male age 15-25, such as my film and both have the 12 certificate.
