2. Target audience Our target audience for our trailer was people aged between 15-45 years of age. It is useful for media producers to identify who their target audience is going to be and get feedback from their target audience to help them review their products and help them to get a better understanding of things they did well with their products and things that could have been better and the feedback would help a lot more if it is coming from someone within your target audience so you can understand it from that point of view.

3. Getting feedback from an audience We used a questionnaire to get feedback from other people in our target audience age range who also take media studies. The questionnaire summarised what they thought the genre was, the rating in general, the elements of the trailer, the age certification, the audience its aimed at and also what they liked and what they thought could be done better. All of the feedback we got through the questionnaires was fairly similar in the sense that they all labelled it somewhere between a British gangster/crime/thriller film and the ratings we got were always between very good and 1 was average.
