Teenagers aged 12- 17 year olds

They watch horror films like Insidious, Sinister because they like
being scared and enjoy watching it

3. GENRE / SUB-GENRE
CONVENTIONS I WILL USE
 - Generally, in a psychological horror film the killer tends to appear
normal: there aren’t any physical signs that would make them appear as a
killer.
 - Common settings for psychological horror are as follows: big houses,
woodland locations, warehouses, schools and hospitals.
 Another common convention of psychological horror films is that there
tend to be flashbacks which inform the audience of why the killer has
reached such a state.

4. SYNOPSIS
 A school counsellor comes to see a girl who has problems. Counsellor
comes to see the girl and help her. The counsellor thinks that the girl has
psychological issues but she actually doesn’t and what the counsellor actually
finds is that she is trying to hide the fact that her friend is the one with issues.

14. CLASSIFICATION (WHY?)
 12A – because our target audience is aged between 12 – 17 year
olds so we think the suitable classification would be 12A, as if we
would have chose a 15 classification the film wouldn’t be suitable for
under 15 year olds to watch, so we chose 12A for our classification.
 Moments from our film that match the classification we chose. –
our film doesn’t include any gory scenes or scenes that are too scary.

15. WHY IS THIS RIGHT FOR
OUR TARGET AUDIENCE?
 Our film is right for our target audience because most of them are
interested in psychological horror, this sub-genre is more of a realistic
horror sub-genre compared to the others. They can relate to it as it is
located in a school setting and the characters are similar age to our
target audience.
