Audience

To find out what audience to target we decided to produce a short survey:

• We asked the class what film they liked.
  
• We asked younger members of the school what film they liked.
  
• We also asked teachers what film they prefered.
  

Younger children seemed to like animated films most, where as the teachers prefered films like musicals and romantic comedy's. We have realised children from the age of 15 to 18 prefered to watch thrillers.

From doing this servey, we have decided the audience we would like to target mostly is young adults from the age of 15. Having interviewed the class most of them liked thriller films. The class seemed to like popular films such as Saw, The Grudge and Silence of the Lambs. Many thriller films are rated 15.

We did consider targeting a younger audience. As our film includes a young girl being followed we thought this would be too frightening/ disturbing for a younger more vulnerable audience.

We also researched and found out that the majority of people who watch films in the cinema are between the age of 13 - 24. There for we would not benefit from targeting an older audience.
