1. WHO WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR YOUR
MEDIA PRODUCT?

2. The audience for Soap Scum would be
preferably a mature audience who will be
legally allowed to watch violence and
gore without the consent of their
parents, but of course, the younger
generation are more drawn to the thriller
genre due to the action and violence.
Therefore it'll more likely appeal to a
teen/young adult audience.

3. Although the thriller genre is inherently
masculine, another facet to the audience is
targeted at females. Specifically, teenage girls.
Although casting women is not enough to
guarantee bums on seats in a movie theatre,
said actresses Lisa and Summer are playing
roles that aren't necessarily common in the
Action Thriller, lest they be sexualised (Coffy,
Sucker Punch, Fast & Furious). They keep their
femininity through hair and makeup but the
script is pretty genderless and could have
worked with anyone regardless of genitals and
such. It will be refreshing to see women in good
roles, so will attract female attention.

4. However, it could be argued that
constructing a product for a specific
audience is harder to accomplish in
today's digital culture; with the rise of
web 2.0 and various platforms (vimeo,
youtube, tumblr) a product can be
distributed in various ways and therefore
has a greater chance of reaching more
interests than the desired target
audience. As stated by Ien Ang, audience
is a construct.
