Evaluation Activity 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?
For our target audience will be people who like horror, supernatural and post- apocalyptic and who like the idea of a suspense plot and a antagonist stalking someone. We reckon our target audience will be a young adult audience as we feel like it they are into horror scary things happening and that idea of a detective story line. As our plot for our film is a detective story line as a girl gets killed in our opening so the film would be about detecting and finding who kills the girl. this will get the audience griped as they will want to find out who the antagonist and really connect to the horror conventions.

For our film our target audience research will be a 15+ film this is because we are doing horror and we want to include things that only 15 are suitable to watch. As it is a horror we are included conventions such as knife, blood an antagonist and in the woods, so the audience will have to understand that it will include some things that under fifteens can't watch. For many horrors the target audience is normally an 18 with blood gore, evil antagonist, scary and dramatic non-diegtic sound and scary monsters and not suitable for people under 18. So having our film at 15 is suitable as there will be no explicit language or danger as we felt like we want it to be a horror that is detective and the antagonist coming back and causing more trouble which will leave to have a big cliff hanger which all the audience will want to watch. The film can be watch by anyone over 15, but mainly younger audience as nowadays people are into detective films or TV dramas like 'silent witness' and 'Walking Dead' and they create fan fictions. We can tell who likes these sort of films as they like dark colours and are linked to heavy music they are stereotypical who would watch horror films,but anyone can watch this with different stereotypes.
