Evaluation Question 3 Dale - Who would be the audience for your media product?

Paranormal activity ratings. This shows that the majority of the votes come from people aged between 18 - 29 but received high votes from males aged 18 and younger.
This image from the film '23' gave us the idea to put symbols on the victim.
This is a shot from the film '23'.

This image is from stigmata which we watched for inspiration for some of our scenes in out film.

Following the trend of most psychological horrors we decided to make our film a 15. We believe this is correct as our film doesnt contain any gore or bad language which would cause the rating to go up. It also couldn't be any lower as some of the scenes could disturb younger viewers. The film is aimed mainly towards both males and females of age 15 and above as these vote similar films more highly showing that this age group enjoy the films more than the older population. This is because other psychological films (such as Paranormal Activity) receive similarly high votes from both sexes (see above).  We feel that this is the typical age for people who watch horror films as they like to experience the thrill and excitement of being scared. From this we will make aerie music and many moments which could cause the audience to jump to try and terrify the audience and succeeding in making the film like a horror is. We got a form in which we got someone to fill in and put their dislikes and likes about our film. One of the likes in which they stated was that they liked the soundtrack which was creepy. The bit that the audience especially liked was the whispering chanting. The audience also agreed with our age group that we aimed the film towards despite not actually telling them what age group it was aimed at. We targeted the audience by finding information on imdb.com which helped us judge our target audience for the film.
