4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

The audience for our Film will have to be above the age of 15 or over for we expect that the ‘British Board of Film Classification (BBFC)’ will rate it as a 15, although this puts us at a disadvantage for we cannot reach audiences below that age for profit from the beginning we were looking towards making a film that will shock and thrill our audience placing it in the thrill genre. I would say that persons who are interested in how the mind works would be intrigued by the film due to the motion picture looking deep into human thought, as well as lovers of thriller films since we included all the codes and conventions of what a true thriller film contains.
Lovers of films like ‘Clockwork Orange’ (Stanley Kubrick 1972) and the more recent ‘Shutter Island’ (Martin Scorsese 2010) we would also expect them to be a fan of ‘Memento Mori’ due to them having similar values and us using some of the ideas and camera shots from these films. We used the same the theme of ‘Shutter Island’ which is a psychotic thriller which follows a patient who is mentally ill throughout the film, however cleverly the audience does not find this out until the last film sequence which is a shocking twist in the film.

  1. Now explain the 'uses and gratifications' model of audience theory (see late September blog posts) and try to explain what your audiences will get out of watching your film opening.
