evaluation activity 4

 

My target audience which my film is aimed at is teenagers, both male and female which mean it will be a wider group that will want to come and watch it. The reason we chose this as our target audience is because that we are the same age which means we know what appeals to them. Both genders enjoy horrors its a popular genre that most people go for because they like the thrill and exciting which is bought throughout the films that have been shown before.

We have also put characters in the film similar age and it means that we can get the audience to relate to the character and be part of the film. We also thought about who are the people that would have time to go and watch a film in the cinema and teenagers go to cinema more frequently than any other audience. We also made our film a 15 so that we could get more teenagers in and that it wouldnt cause any fear or harm to them as some horrors give teenagers nightmare and put them off.

We also thought that teenager tend to go in groups to the cinema which means were be getting big quantities going. We could appeal to young adults aswell because they aswell enjoy horrors just as much as teenages do. They are still young and going out having a good time they would also take to go see a good horror film. We needed our opening two minutes to really leave them wanting to find out more because opening two minutes really sells the film because if they are not interested in the first two minutes than they might not enjoy the rest of the film. We need scary creepy characters and a setting that is stereotypically a place of killings and kidnappings.
