1. Who would be the audience
for your media product?
Question 4

2. Looking into other films
• When looking into other horror films ratings and
audiences I found that they varied quite a lot, however
most of the films that I looked at were rated from 15 to 18.
• Due to our genre having a lot of different types of
plots/themes there is a large amount of target audiences.
• It was important for us to get the right audience appeal as
we didn't want to get the wrong type of impression from
our opening sequence. For instance putting our rating too
low might give off the wrong idea of what type of film it
actually is.

3. The group we were aiming for.
• From our research we gathered that there are different
types of horror films therefore different audiences to watch
them.
• Which is why we think our film would best suit a younger
generation and also people who appreciate they type of
filming. People who like the originality of a film and the
different types of methods the film makers have used.
• Then there is also the type of film we have made, I believe
our film is more of a heavy mental scare rather than ogre or
jump scares. So we again single out another audience
group. ( people who prefer mental horrors).

4. Our rating.
• We also had to choose a BBFC rating for our film
which proved quite tough. As you could end up
cancelling out. Whole age range should you get the
rating wrong, however you don't want to get the wrong
impression from the audience, or even give the wrong
impression to them, so we had to choose carefully.
• We went with a rating of 15. This was too ensure that
our horror film wasn't seen as being childish or even
not taken seriously. We also thought that some of the
content could be potentially harmful to younger
people.

5. How we came to our decision.
• We chose our audience after we made our
film, that way we knew what type of thing the
audience could expect. It also gave us a clear
idea on what film we had actually made
therefore being able to rate it more successfully.
• However looking at it from a wider perspective it
could potentially be enjoyed by almost
anyone, although we would say more beneficial
to a younger audience, preferably ones who
enjoy horrors and like stylistic filming.
