Evaluation pt5

Question 5


The fifth part of the Evaluation task is; how did you appeal/attract your audience? 

Firstly, I feel as if we appealed and attracted our audience by creating one character who can appeal to many males of different ages. Jack is portrayed to be at two stages of his life in our media product, both at the age of 12-13 and around 17-18. This appeals to audiences because this allows for a wide range of boys to relate to the protagonist and build a connection, whether it be through real life issues, the common interest of football or having dreams and aspirations. This would then build up interest from possible viewers of the media product and would then lead to increased ticket sales. In addition, this story line can also appeal to males of older ages because it could be reminiscent/nostalgic of dreams and aspirations they had when they were younger.

Furthermore, another way in which our media product appealed/attracted audiences was by the use of star power. We tried to use and incorporate big names within the film industry that would be very likely to feature in an independent and niche film. We used stars such as Tom Holland, who plays Peter Parker in the upcoming Spider-Man film, and Jacob Tremblay, who featured in the Smurfs 2. We felt as if these up and coming, young actors would relish the chance to feature in this film and as if they would attract people to come and see the media product due to those being young but at the same time well known and well received actors. 

In addition, we also appealed to our audience by asking them to view our title sequence and fill out a feedback sheet on what they feel would improve the product and what they liked about the product. We felt as if this was very beneficial and necessary because they were the demographic that we were trying to appeal to and getting possibly improvements would give us an indication as to what would make our product better. We did receive good feedback and we made the recommended changes in order to get more people to be appealed to our product.
