Who would be the audience for your media product,How did you attract/address your audience?

I believe my film would attract a very large amount of teenagers as the film revolves around the life of a small group of teens. Also the film deals with common issues among the teens such as drug and alcohol abuse, relationships and work and college. So I think it will and attract and appeal to the teenage audience as the audience will be able to relate the characters and situations they go through during the film. The audience will be able conform to the lifestyle the characters that they live such as the emotions they feel through stress and alcohol consumption they can relate this to the emotions they feel whilst in those situations. During the opening of my film there are a number of scenes which will attract to teenage audiences as they confer to everyday life such as sex, relationships and binge drinking culture a number of teenagers have been through so the will be attracted to this as they can almost put themselves in the situations of the characters also i think my film may attract a number of young adults as they have also been through a number of those situations and are able to relate to them. Also teenagers may even use this as an escape from reality and their own problems in life as they can relate to the issues that the charatcers are going through in the film, this links in with the uses and gratifications theory that the audience use the media to get specific gratifications and uses the media fulfill thier various needs which could be things such as filling time, relaxation and emotional release. So my film my achieve this through teenagers being able to escape from their own lives and being able to relate to others that are similar to theres also they may just want to use the film as entertainment and to fill time. Furthermore I think my film will attract large British audiences as they are familiar with the filming locations and the culture shown throughout the production. The age certificate i would give my film is a 15 as my film as i believe the audience around this age would be attracted to this film and similar genre films. Also the film contains alcohol, smoking, explicit language and some mild violence which will bot be suitable for an audience under the age of 15.
