Target Audience
Our film is aimed at people who enjoy watching horror films, it was said by Jeffrey Goldstein that:
‘One study identified three factors that were important in the appeal of horror films to males aged 15-45: the excitement generated by the film (called "sensation-seeking" by psychologists, the enjoyment of stimulation or physiological arousal), the wish to see the destruction found in horror films, and the satisfying resolution usually found at the end of the film.’
Although we intend on our film to appeal to young people; so usually people under the age of twenty-five. This is because of the usual audience of previous slasher films such as ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ and ‘Friday 13th’ were aimed at young people, usually teenagers. Teenagers like these films because the creators of the film make the characters around the same age as the target audience. Teenagers that like the same things the teenagers of the audience like, teenage characters that do the same things as the teenage audience. This appeals to the target audience because they can relate to the characters they watch on the big screen.
In this case however because of the film’s content it is not suitable for viewing of people under the age of eighteen.
