Target Audience

AGE

Horror and slasher films usually attract a youth audience as the cast is usually vulnerable teenagers so the audience canrelate to the acitvities that they mat get up to within the storyline or the feelings and emotions they are feeling. They also contain a lot of gore and violence which would usually appeal to young adults or adolescents. The ratings are however most of the time 15 and 18 so the age group who watch this genre of film would be around 15-30.

GENDER

Violence is usually associated with men and boys as they are seen to be the more aggressive gender, however the vulnerable victim of slasher films are usually young girls/women therefore a female audience would find the film easy to engage with as they would reflect the fear of the main character (victim) with their own fear whilst watching. However the violence and horror would mainly appeal to males, so although our film will be appealing to both genders, the main target gender is male.

NATIONALITY

As our film will contain an English cast, the nationalities that it would most appeaol to are British and American, although American will be a minority as they may not follow the english accent or the normalitites of the British lifestyle within the horror storyline, such as British teenagers are often seen to be taking part in deviant activities in British films, dramas or soaps whereas Americans much less so.
