Who would be the audience for your media product?
Our main target audience would be middle/working class woman aged 15-35. We set this as our target audience because the genre is a thriller so we can't cater for any ages below 15. This age range would also be suitable for our movie because we found that people this age can easily enjoy the suspense filled movie without feeling scared or overly filled with adrenalin. We said that middle/working class woman are our target because we believe that our movie will better connect to that audience and make them feel more emotionally bonded to the movie. Also this audience will be able to easily emphasise with a fellow female. Since our thrillers main protagonist is female this would further make our target audience feel a sense of woman's pride because our protagonist faces many challenges throughout the movie.
Many thriller movies have similarities to our movie. The one that is most like 'Manor Way' would be the movie 'The visit'. These two movies are alike in the way that they are both filled with suspense and both story lines are quite similar but still have there key differences. 'The visit' was released in 2015 with a genre of horror/thriller, and directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
In Abraham Maslow's 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" begun a theory called Maslow's Hierarchy of needs. On the website, 'Simply Psychology" it states, "Maslow said that people are motivated to achieve certain need and that some needs take precedence over others. Our most basic need is for physical survival, and this will be the first thing that motivates our behaviour. Once that level is fulfilled the next level up is what motivates us, and so on."

This theory links to my media product because our opening makes our views think about their own safety and security. This is because throughout our opening and our movie the protagonists safety is constantly being challenged and this in turn makes the views question their level of safety. In the movie our protagonist is faced with the murder of three family members and also the challenge to escape with her life. This would make the viewers feel uneasy and conscientious about losing their own family members. This opening would leave the views feeling panicked and also make them feel more lovingly towards their loved ones because of the fear of losing them.
