1. Audience Justification
Drama Primary Because of the films mostly female cast the issues the
actors go through in the film will resonate with young
girl’s as it will be relatable because they may of
experienced it or being going through an experience.
Gore Secondary Gore is would be more enjoyable to the secondary
audience as the misfortune of characters can be found
entertaining as men are more desensitised to violence
as they are already fans of horror movies which often
include this amount of violence.
Monsters Secondary The whole idea of monsters links into the theme of
gore and such as these are the monsters that will be
causing the violence that the males would enjoy
because they are already accustom to monster movies
and are fans of them which is why they are watching
the Descent.
Actors/Stars Secondary Because sex sells the males may watch The Descent
purely for the all female cast of young attractive
women because the cast has been specifically chosen
to appeal to a lot of different tastes and preferences in
women.
Adventure Additional The additional audience would enjoy the adventure
because it matches their lifestyle and hobbies and
enjoy this kind of sport. Because they can relate to it
they will become more invested as it something they
are actively involved in.
Director Secondary Knowledge of the director would be important to a
male because they would be aware of their previous
works because they are horror fans and would want to
see the film because of the director and his previous
work.
Narrative Primary Females are more likely to become invested within the
story as it consists of drama that may be relatable or
at least interesting enough to hold their attention.
Because the drama is relatable they can understand
the characters psyche and mind frame further
engaging them within the story.
Extreme Sports Additional The additional audience would enjoy the adventure
because it matches their lifestyle and hobbies and
enjoy this kind of sport. Because this is something
they do in their spare time seeing it on the screen will
engage them into the film more.

2. Violence Secondary The secondary audience is watching the film for its
gore and monsters so therefore the violence is just a
further extension of this theme that a male would
watch this film for. Because of this the secondary
audience is likely to become more engaged for this
reason.
