Evaluation Question Four

Who would be the the audience for your media project?

















This is an image of the type of people I
expect to watch the film, they are all adolescents beginning to become
adults and experiencing adult life. So i think they will like Deceit as its dramatic, and has a good storyline to keep their attention, and it has adult themes which they will just be about to experience as they get older.

The type of people the film is aimed at is those who shop at places like Topshop and River Island, as these shops show tha
t they like to look good but within a reasonable budget. Also they prefer going out having fun with friends then spend all their money on shopping. The audience can relate to the film as all the costumes of the characters are similar to their type of clothing.


















The type of music our audience would like include some pop, but mainly something more alternative as it shows more personality. Originally for our soundtrack we were going to use the song 'Islands' by the band The XX, which would h
ave appealed to the audience we aimed at because that band are well loved by that demographic at the moment. However, instead of using this track we made our own, and we mad it haunting and different so that they would like it.


The TV our audience would enjoy are things like Skins, as they can relate to it as the characters will be experiencing the same/similar things that they are.

Our target audience would like a variety of different films such as Kidulthood as they can relate to it. A
lso horror and thriller genre films are enjoyed by our target audience as they are good films to watch with your friends, so our film would appeal to them as they could all enjoy it collectively.

Their habits probably include some drinking, smoking which is portrayed in our film so they can relate to that. Also making mistakes and growing up, such themes are covered in our film i.e the affair.

Their lifestyle is probably just the usual, going to college, preparing for Uni and working part-tim
e jobs to earn a bit of money. So their lives are pretty relaxed, weekends for hanging out with friends etc.

Our target audience like things that are not generic, but instead something thats different. The media our target audience consumes includes magazines such as NME & More as they cover fashion, music and celebrities which interests young adults. Music of all genres as they are young adults they are still experiencing different sounds, artists and bands etc. T.V, film and internet are also media that is largely consumed by our target audience. So they are usually the main targets for ad campaigns and reviews.

I think our film would appeal to them because they can relate to the different characters and possibly the situations as they might of faced s
ome similar situations, also i think they would like the slight chilling nature of the movie.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs:















This is Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, it demonstrates the different aspects he believes that people need to be accomplished in order to move on to the next step. Then when all the steps have been reached you end up with 'Self Actualisation', which is when Maslow says you will be truly and genuinely happy with yourself.

In relation to Maslow's theory I think that our film could make the audience reach 'Self Actualisation'. I say this because in the opening scene it is all very destructive and shows characters lives which are about to fall apart. So from this the audience can compare and see that their lives aren't as bad as they might have thought, and therefore can appreciate they lives a bit more.
