Audience


Our chosen genre is horror/thriller, we chose these genres because they are very popular. We think the idea for our opening sequence is aimed at 15-24, and horror mainly attracts this target audience. Horror is a very high grossing industry, examples of popular films are:
  • Saw franchise
  • The sixth sense
  • The ring
  • Paranormal activity

When making the opening sequence we need to consider what will appeal to our target audience and keep them hooked right from the start.

As 12-15 year olds mostly watch horror films, the ratings are normally 15 or a 12A. These ratings allow a dark or unsettling tone. Although both are allowed to show explicit scenes the rating 15 can show more scenes for longer that involve strong violence, frequent strong language, portrayals of sexual activity, sexual nudity, discriminatory language or behaviour and drug taking.
I think our film would be rated a 12A as there isn't violence shown however it is implied, also there is use of drugs and alcohol shown.
