7. Target Audience
The target audience will generally be aimed towards
teenagers, which is why the rating will be a 15. Also it
will be most likely to be more relatable to teenagers
because the protagists are a group of teenagers and the
antagonist is a teenager as well. Girls may be more
inclined to watch it because the majority of the cast is
girls. However the genre of the film could interest a
slightly older audience.
