Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Rating – the rating of my film is a 15 because of the amount of violence and weapons shown. When I was conducting my research into rating I noticed that it couldn’t be a 12/12A due to the weapons that are shown. The killer uses a knife which is something that a young person could have easy access to and the film could influence them to do something similar which is why I chose to rate my film as a 15. Therefore, no one under the age of 15 will view my film.

 

The knife that is shown in Target

 

This is one of the weapons that is shown in my opening sequences of Target. The killer chooses this weapon to kill his victim but because this weapon is easily assessable by most people, young children could be influenced to start using this weapon and this could cause lots of problems. I wanted to make sure that this film would be appropriate to the target audience and if children (or people under the age of 15) go to see this film then they could get the wrong idea and that's what I would like to avoid. The BBFC have stated that if your film shows any weapons that are available in the house then the age rating must be a 15 because 12/12A do not allow glamourizing easily accessible weapons:

 

 

 

 

My film also shows a few gory images, such as the blood on the ground when the killer kills his victim. This doesn't fit the guidelines of the 12/12A film classification so this was another factor that made my film a 15.

 

 The blood that is shown in Target

 

 

There are obviously limitations to the rating of my film because it is a 15. For example, a family will not go out and see this film because of the violence and the weapons that are shown through the opening sequences and will be used through the rest of the film. It will also not attract a large number of teenagers because they must be over 15 to see it. However, I didn't want to ruin the effect of the opening sequences so I didn't want to delete these shots from Target because they are needed to help inform the audience of what has happened and what the killer plans to do.

 

Target audience – The target audience is between 15 – 25 aged males because of the genre and the age / gender of the character. The character is only young and of a similar age to my target audience which is a factor that will appeal to them. 

To appeal to the target audience I also considered the whole story and the overall meaning of it. 'Target' has a deeper meaning which is how people can grow up with hidden issues and how this could only be seen after a longer period of time, like the main character of 'Target'. My film is quite clever because it tackles the physical side to the killer's issues but also the psychological issues too because of his age and how he has already made this very serious decision.

Target also appeals to young couples (around 20-25) as this is what the story is about. However, the opening credits don't reveal much about the other characters and we only see the killer preparing his weapons and then the kill which is suggesting that he has had experience in killing.
