How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?

How Did You Attract/Address Your Audience?

How Did You Attract/Address Your Audience?


When we uploaded out film onto YouTube, we ask people to:

1) Comment on quality of editing and filming?

2) The aim is to introduce the main character fully, how well do you feel that this aim has been achieved? What is your understanding of the character and his lifestyle?

3) Based on the footage you've seen how successfully does the clip portray a British film as opposed to an American film?

From the feedback we got, the majority of people that saw and commented on our film answered these questions.


Our target audience is of a younger generation (18-35). People of this age tend to use the social networking website 'Facebook' so we all went onto this website and posted a link to all of our friends (who the majority are of this age group) and asked them to view it, comment on it and send it onto anyone else they think are interested in these types of films.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing the product?

Who would be the audience for your media product?

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

We chose to use Film4 as our Production Company because they are a British company and have produced films like This Is England and Trainspotting, etc which are both of the same genre as our Film. The Film4 logo that we used in the beginning of our film fitted perfectly because it had red and blue flashing lights, which immediately makes the audience think of sirens and trouble. This gives the audience a sense that the film will contain violence and criminal activity even before seeing any footage.
