Pre & Post Viewing Experiences

Pre & Post Viewing Experiences

Pre Viewing experiences will engage the audience for The Maze Runner The Scorch Trials, when things like trailers are released as well as posters, which would give audience members the chance for social interaction like talking face to face with friends and family or even on social networking sites who like the same things that they do such as using Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc.

The Maze Runner The Scorch Trials is mainly aimed at the younger audience members primarily for males aged 12-25 years in the E-C2 social class since it is based around teenage boys who get taken each month and are used as little experiments and what is holding them from escaping is the maze as there are deadly creatures surrounding it who have already killed teenagers and the secondary target audience being females since a teenage girl turns up one day out of the blue when there are only males there.

Fans have created websites online to show they are passionate about the film they are obsessing over also on this website they have quizzes, and merchandise and competitions to win merchandise. This would then cause fans to get excited and want to take part in these quizzes so they can be named ultimate fans of the film and people will enter the competition so they can get free merchandise.

Since The Maze Runner The Scorch Trials is so popular they have decided to create another film named The Maze Runner The Death Cure that will be separated in to 5 parts and part 1 will then be released in the fall of 2016 which was also mentioned on the website so what this website is doing is giving fans information which would make them get excited and would also make people want to check up on this website everyday to see if there is anymore news.

Post viewing experiences may cause fans to make YouTube videos for things like sweded videos when fans re create scenes from the movie and pretend they are the characters. Fans also create videos on YouTube were they pick out scenes from the movie and create their own story.

Passive audience members are people who are very lazy and dont really ave an opinion and follow other peoples opinions. Active audience memebers are people who are excited about the movie and have their own opinion since they may be so addicted they can create videos online from the film.
