Evaluation question 4:

Who would be the audience for your media product?

In general teen movies attract teens and young adults however it could also attract adults as they could relate as they've been there and done it or young teens aspiring to be like the characters and seeing them as a role model. Different teens will be intrigued by different genres such as love, friendship, sports, fun etc. Many teens watch teen films because they can relate to the issues that are being shown and they have a real understanding of teen life as they are experiencing it now.

 Here is a Facebook page of 'Amy  Lynch' who is a 17 year old from Essex who is great lover of horror films as you can see. This is the kind of teenager that would be interested in watch our film 'Jack'.


A more specific audience to our sub genre would be 15+ who are interested in horror films and teen adventures. Films like 'The cabins in the woods' and 'The Blair witch project' really inspired us because they were both about teenagers, they both involved an adventure and they were both horror. Which is similar to our film because a group 4 different individuals get together to go camping in the woods. However like these two films its not as straight forward as that, they will face obstacles through out their stay in the woods.

Even though many teen films are relatable only a certain social group can relate due to the content of the film for example if the film was about teens playing basketball only people that liked basketball would watch it. However with 'Jack' our USP is that we have 4 main characters that many social groups could relate to at least one (the Princess, Jock, Nerd and the weirdo). It shows the difference between the four of them and how different they all are and how they deal with the terror that's been thrown at them. Although our specific audience would be teens that enjoy watching horror films.
