3.Who Is The Audience For The Media Product
Our horror film is aimed mainly at the over 15 males we reference this to the common ideology that it is mainly males who enjoy the idea of Slasher films as well as this we looked at figures on the imdb database that confirm the main audience of these films are males of the age 15-18 by a larger amount than the rest.
The reason why the under 18s focus on these films more than the older is for the gore element of the films as where the older generation become more into the storyline and plot of the film as well as the characters in the film where as the younger view the gore as a much scarier phenomenon the perception of this usually changes with age as the older just begin to see the “blood and guts” as what they are merely the props of the films no longer “a magic carpet” in a sense,
We plan to make this work in our favour by focusing purely on the area of the audience that enjoy this the most we are doing this by a few important ways firstly there is the characters that are in the same age group and seem to be in the same boat as the girl in the film, we also made sure that was nothing really over the top about her she was a “Blank Canvas” for everyone to relate to and also we set the location in a place all teens that age know, there own home adding to the fear and making the film more popular amongst the target audience.
