Evaluation of my Media Product (question 4)

​4.Who would be the audience for your media product?

The narrative of my film is similar in style to 'Saving Private Ryan' but more like 'The Dark Knight' in terms of cinematography. As a result of this my film appeals to the same demograph as 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'The Dark Knight' would. This would imply a predominatly male audience for my film, but the audiences age range could be around 18 to 40years because there are many aspects that might appeal to a wider age range. Films based around the cold war may attract an older audience than you would normally expect for an action film as the cold war was recent enough for the older generations to have been interested or involved.

 I have anticipated my demograph based on the ratings of revelant films. These two graphs are from IMDB 2nd May 2012. The target audience for our media product would be intellectuals at the ages of 18-40, while this may be a large age range, explicit violence is included hence the 18 age limit. The political aspects of war and how the nuclear arms race affected the world for the worst is not something that everyone will understand or appreciate which is why my product is aimed at a demograph likely to find history interesting. There are heavy action sequences similar to those in blockbusters. These would be likely to appeal to teenagers and blockbuster fans.
