Who would be the audience for your media product?

• The audience for our media product would not be a typical rom-com audience. The genre tends to focus on targeting the female audience aged between 20 and 35 however, our film is different as it it is focused more specifically on a group of male friends meaning that the film would appeal more to males. However it could also appeal to women who would like the different portrayal of men that is represented and to see the mistakes that they make in romantic situations.
• The film may also appeal to young people between 16 and 20 because of the humour used and the way that the characters often ridicule eachother.
• We showed the opening of our film to 6th Form students aged 16 to 18. Males appeared to prefer the film as they could realte to the 'banter' that occurs between male friendship groups in certain situations and many of those we asked said they would be interested to see the rest of the film. The female audience that we asked were not as keen on the film as they said it was unrelatable for them as it focused mor on the experiences of males however they did also say they would be interested to see more of the film.
• We also asked two married couples in order to see how a more adult audience would percieve the film. Both said that they enjoyed it with the males saying they enjoyed the relatable characters and the females enjoyed seeing men making mistakes.
