6. Characterization
Our horror film will include a group of teenagers with
average stereotypes, meaning we can break those
expectations in the movie:
● Seth (Allistair) - the logical/ compassionate male
● Victor (Omer) - the instigator and aggressive male
● Lilith (Talia) - the timid/shy but smart girl
● Maura (Filipa) - the active, sassy and reassuring girl
7. Target Audience
Who’s our film aimed at?
Our target audience is aimed mainly at teenagers between the ages of
16-19.
Why?
Our questionnaire determined a majority of horror fans are older
teenagers. The second largest group was from 20 to 25, and so they are
our secondary target audience.
8. What do we aim to achieve through this?
- To use our ideas to create a unique product.
- To provide an important message and life lesson for our audience
through entertaining means.
- To use it as a device that will provide a long lasting influence/effect on
both our audience and the Horror industry.
