Assignment 8: Mass vs
Niche Audience
Definition of each
• A Mass audience is a wide range of groups of people that have a similar and
common interest. They all want the same thing. This allows you to focus on
one particular thing that the majority will enjoy.
A niche audience is a small select group of people that have a unique interest.
Choosing a niche audience allows you to focus fully on a specific piece of the
target audience and make it your own.
Horror films have niche
audiences because...
• They are the most interested and excited to see a project as it speaks
to their belief and cause.
Horror films want highly passionate audience members as their
enthusiasm and inspiration to help them if they harness their attention
early on and give them what they want. Horror films isn't suitable for
everyone. Aiming it at small groups with unique interests to horror
films will be more suitable.
Examples of sub-genres and
their niche audience
• The fanaticism subgenre won't appeal to everyone due to the torture
scenes but it is unique and original in the horror genre. Niche
audiences will enjoy it so long as it appeals and stays true to
fanaticism.
Home invasion: This sub-genre strikes fear into people or it thrills people
of the niche audience as it's realistic. The niche audience will
experience thrill/adrenaline at points where as the mass audience
might be fearful and scared.
Demons + Hell: Niche audiences will enjoy this subgenre more since it's
new and it would be fun for them to look at the creativity of the film
creators and see their interpretations of devils, hell and demons.

OTS...
• Blood of Purity - Mark: 55/60
The music matched the pictures that were in the OTS and the CGI within
the OTS also matched. The titles were used appropriately and the font
and colour matched the background and the composition. In the shots
that were in the OTS, all had controlled use of the camera (knife shot
was steady) and the images went well with the CGI. Editing of the FX
suited the task (blood) and added a sense of horror to the OTS.
Framing of shots and composition was used well (titles, shots, FX).
