Who would be the audience for your media product?

The audience of our media product is middle aged. We determined this by conducting a survey using survey monkey and we found that more middle aged people preferred movies with in depth meaning rather than elaborated sound effects. So with the survey conducted we now know that our movie will be watched by the middle aged audience as well.



The above survey shows that the teenage audience do watch drama films and they usually see females as a protagonist in those movies. According to our target audience, as this survey was mainly filled by students only, we know that they will watch a drama film if they find a good sound and creativity in them.



Response by teachers on the premier.
After making the first version of our movie we showed it to our target audience i.e teenagers and middle aged audience. In the premiere A levels students aged between 17-18 and teachers were present and after showing the movie to the students, we got mixed responses. Where teachers liked the movie and the found the title quite intellectual, students found the sequence slow and the title confusing nevertheless interesting. Therefore our next survey shows that the drama  sequence where we are representing different social class will be watched by teenagers and adults.

The movie will be more watched by the female teenagers and middle aged as we got more positive responses from females and the teachers who answered our questionnaire were all females. All teachers obviously along with one principal belonged to the AB category of the socio economic model that means that our middle aged audience will be Teachers, Senior managers, Engineers, Doctors etc.

The women in Pakistan prefer movies which are more educating and entertaining at the same time. Men do not prefer watching drama movies as much as women do here. This is because most women are light workers as they are mostly housewives and they have more time to watch movies and shows at home than men do.


In our final movie we are representing two teenagers and the issues of being classified into different social groups. Therefore we are targeting teenage audience here as we are representing teenagers. Teenagers belong from the E category in the socio-economic model therefore our audience will also include teenagers and unemployed. More female genders will be encouraged to watch drama movies as we received more positive feedback from the girls during the premiere.


According to the graphs in Wikipedia there are 66 percent of males and females between the age group of 15 to 64 (which is our target audience). Our movie represents a Pakistani society which is also similar to the Indian society therefore we feel that more south Asian immigrants living there will be attracted by our movie as they would be fascinated with the social division we represent in our movie.
