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

This is Shane Thomas; he lives in South London, Brixton. Liam enjoys various different film genres but most enjoys Thriller and action/gangster movies. When Liam was in his early teens, his favourite movies to watch were Scarface and then later enjoyed watching American Gangster, he even said he'd 'like to be Frank Lucas for a day so that he could be a self made millionaire within 24 hours'. Liam, who is now 18, has adapted to the nerve wrecking thriller genre and second to Scarface, comes an American werewolf in London. Liam’s wardrobe is full of hoodies, jeans and jumpers and a few pairs of trainers he had bought from stores such as Footlocker and Sports World. He shops in places like Blue Inc, Westside and also JD. Liam plays different sports such as football, basketball and athletics. over the years the music genres he often listens to have changed, he used to listen to a lot of UK grime and also ‘Bashment’ but now listens to Hip-Hop, rap and says that artists such as Tupac, Wu Tang Clan, Dead Prez, TDE, NWA inspire him to also write music. He also told us how he's 'learnt more about the world by listening to Tupacs lyrics that he has in school or watching mis-leading new'.
The reason I think that my film will appeal to Liam is because it is based on a 18 year old boy, making his way home after a late night of partying and then suddenly discovering something shocking. Liam had also told me that he enjoys unpredictable movies because they get him feeling anxious and eager to see what happens next and my film is unique and unpredictable in the way that the audience wouldn’t expect Jordan to discover what he had discovered. Our main target audience would most likely be for active teenagers/adults within the age range of 18 to 21 like Liam. This is Due to the heart-rate racing scenes in the film, the action and the energetic nature of the movie which is targeted to these young adults as they share similarities of the same active characteristics. Our storyline will have these young adults thinking and trying to solve out the mystery of the storyline and characters, which is always exciting.

The outfit in which Jordan appears to be wearing is a body warmer hoodie in this shot of his upper body. Id say that Jordan does look like a young black male who is vulnerable to being stereotyped in to a racial category. The hoodie which is the main prop that I want to focus on for this question is to some, a symbol of trouble and connotes violence. The weak implication that this piece of clothing can represent a specific social group who by wearing a hoodie, want to emit suspicion and hide their identity feeds to the negative stereotype of young teenagers and young black teenagers in particular. The audience may reflect that by seeing Jordan, walking through the park and wearing a hoodie, that the film may be based on a gang crime storyline whereas other's may not. Viewers may think that there is nothing suspicious about Jordan and ignore attributing and judging him based on his clothing and the colour of his skin. Within the first few second of this scene, we do project a stereotype however the audience will then go on to learn that ‘’just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum’’.
Jordan has a worried yet surprised expression on his face which only makes the viewer assume that he’s not within reach of safety in this particular shot.
The lonely grey background adds more anxiety to the scene as well as Jordan's body language which is giving off the impression that he is scared and not safe.
