Evaluation Question 4 and 5

Who would be the audience for your media product?
The main audience for our product would be teenage girls/young adult from age 15 to 25. The opening sequence will appeal to a wide variety of people with varying interests. We aimed for our product to have this variety and not just focus on a specific group of people. We made it so that the characters relate to many people without being obvious.
Of course we want to attract the everyday teenage girls but also our opening sequence could attract an audience of a older generation. The romance genre has a very wide and varying audience.
It is a common thought that teenage girls like to watch romance films and for the most part that is true. 

How did you attract/address you audience?
Our audience has a very wide range and has several different sub groups. The main way we attracted the audience was with the characters. The main characters of a teenage boy and girl are very relate-able e to the audience. Furthermore some members of the younger audience may come to see the film purely because of the actors involved. Older audience members on the other hand may go and see a film due to trailers and reviews. We tried to attract both by not using modern music but using character dressed modern clothing.
We has the idea that our film would be one of the films a teenage girl would watch on a night in. There are many films alike to this. They tend to be quite emotional and relate-able to the teen girl population.
