Task 4 - Who would be the audience for your media product?

Our thriller will reach an older target audience because it is based on highly important political problems and technical cyber hacking, and after my primary research survey I found that younger audiences prefer more action in the story, so I think our age will be 30 and over.
I think people will be interested by the insight to what happens and how they are dealt with with by world leaders. The large scale of the problem also draws an audience in. The Political/Cyber thriller genre could also attract an intellectual interest in the film. Because the audience is older they will be working and so in their free time will want something to watch which can excite them and interest them.
Our secondary audience will be a 20s age group. I think they will enjoy the film because it could reach an intellectual area. The film may be more aimed at a male audience because the story is based on men in charge saving the world, and I think men like to watch this type of situation seeing men like them being the hero's. On the other hand I think we would be able to attract a female audience by casting the French leader as a women. Women will like to see another Lady in charge equal with the men, and will be able to admir the powerful roll the Audrey plays.
Feedback about the idea of the thriller from an 18 year old girl The Cyber/Political Thriller feels more like a mans film with the large amount of power involved and keen technical side of the hacking, so if we were to promote this film we would target it as a middle aged male film.
"I think it sounds really interesting, because usually it's the western world that comes out on top and is attacking the rest of the world it would seem. I think the technological aspect adds something cool to the political sub-genre. I think it could potentially be really interesting to see in the cinema if it was completed."
